[QUOTE="Sam Summey, post: 1823531, member: 109601"] I have been reloading since I was 15 YO, I am 71 now that's a total of around 56 years. You need both, I have a Hornady Loc'nLoad and a RCBS Rock Chucker. Many will say I am full of feces but the progressive comes up a little short on power when resizing brass. All my bottle neck rifle cartridges are resized/deprimed on the RCBS RC first. Trimming and if needed (mil-spec) swageing primer pockets. I also gage the primer pocket with a NO Go gage, ( if it fits into the pp 1/3-1/2 way that piece of brass is scrap). I find the pp enlargement is the first sign that the brass is worn out. (before case head separation occurs). The progressive will not drop powder, especially stick powder as consistant as an off line bulk powder drop or RCBS Charge Master. I mostly use ball powders (more consistant weight) for rifle cartridges loaded on the LnL. Loading pistol cartridges on the LnL is a straight forward exercise from sizing to bullet seating. The decision is yours to make, progressives can be frustrating to use when trying to learn to reload (too many things going on at one time). [/QUOTE]
