[QUOTE="tul9033, post: 2319851, member: 2319"] When I started looking at presses I was constantly seeing comments discouraging going progressive for your first press. After getting a Hornady LNL I would of been extremely disappointed with a 550. Rotating the shell plate is another thing to distract you while loading IMO. I'm focused on 2 things when loading on a progressive, looking in the case verifying powder and setting the bullet. I look in every single case for powder. This is where a light in the work area really helps. I am constantly verifying powder weight and OAL and still crank out ~400 rds of pistol ammo an hour. I made a homemade vibra prime using an old Lee hand primer tool. I haven't had to load primer tubes in years and can have 300 primers ready to load in the press in less than 2 minutes. I say go 650 or LNL, especially if you want any kind of efficient production. [/QUOTE]
