[QUOTE="Hooper, post: 4351097, member: 46111"] You can always finance a Dillon as low as $28.95 a month on up to $60.00 plus. Load 4-800 rounds an hour. I have a Lee single stage cost me $140 new. $30 to $40 spent on dies per set. Plus resizers and stuff. Have loaded thousands of rounds different calibers rifle and pistol. I move like a turtle probably 100 rounds an hour at top speed,[B] not counting case prep time[/B]. I would be like a Chicken with a fox in the hen house trying to run a progressive press. All that said, you can always set up multiple presses for each step, to cut down adjusting after every step, which for me seems pretty economical. In fact I have two presses, but just use one. For me Powder measuring seems to take the most time, of course it is one very critical step. Speed might cause a problem in that area. I don't shoot every day so I always have rounds ready to go. I can shoot 4-500 rounds at times on a day out. I can see if a fellow shoots an AR and a pistol a few times a week where you might need a speedier process for reloading. [/QUOTE]
