progressive press sugestions

Lock-N-Load AP gets my vote. Stable, easy to use, easy to change dies, and at a reasonable price.

I wish I could afford a Dillon 650 but my budget only allowed a Hornady LNL AP. I got a great deal on a used one that just needed some tuning and runs like a champ now. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

I bought my Lee Turret press over 20 years ago. No regrets! Still going strong. (303 British, 303 Savage, 223, 22 Hornet, 30-30) Many thousands of rounds.

The Lee turret press is not a progressive press like the OP is asking about, I bought my Dillon 550 press in 1990 and it is still going strong. If I was buying a progressive reloader today I would go with the Dillon 650.

I've spent some time reviewing Dillon, Hornady and Lee.

Lee needs some tweaking and then it works. 2 yr warranty, lowest cost

Hornady LNL AP may need an adjustment, but generally work out of the box. Better powder measure IMO. Lifetime warranty. Mid cost

Dillon 650 XL work out of the box. Said to be the best pistol press for high volume. Lifetime warranty. Higher cost

I've decided on the Hornady LNL AP for my reasons. I don't care to debate my choice as anyone can research all they want on Google and decide for themselves.
To be honest, I already own a RCBS RockChucker that has served me well for over 30yrs, but I'd like to speed up some pistol loading and leave the RC for rifle stuff.

I have a Hornady LNL and quite like it the powder measure is better but only with extruded powders it measures ball powders the same. I have used Dillon machines many times and both have pros and cons
