[QUOTE="Shootin4fun, post: 675542, member: 28741"] Though this is an 8 year old thread, Ian, how did the ammo you produced with these presses perform? I have always been under the impression that progressives don't give you the same level of control, therefore quality/consistency of a single stage press. The auto powder drop is what really concerns me the most. I weigh every charge to within +/- .05 grains or less. The .1 gr hashmarks on my old 20-10 scale are 1/16" apart, several times the width of the beam's pointer line. My charges never vary the width of the line. 1 kernel of Varget makes it move. I see other users' comments where they say they are producing .5 MOA rifle ammo with the progressives, yet someone said that theirs throws powder with .25 gr variance. Not sure how that is possible. I'm sure using one for the volume of pistol rounds is justified, but I'm really wondering about long range rifle ammo. [/QUOTE]
