Anybody made the jump to a progressive press for reloading precision centerfire rifle ammo?

I’ve heard the progressives have gotten awful good???

Found a smoking deal on a Dillon. All my reloading as of now is single stage for precision centerfire rifle. But that could change with a good progressive press.

I started using my 550 when the linkage on my old Lee single stage broke. Its all been accurate but I had not been shooting for extreme accuracy since then but do get sub moa groups and thats good enough im not chasing .25 groups these days and not sure if I could shoot them anymore anyway. I still weigh and tricked the charges for more accurate ammo. Its still much faster than a single stage.

I had planed on geting another single stage but don't see the point at this time

well sort of

technically that is my sons press

he has a Dillon 750 xl and loads 223 and 308 there was a mod that involved a thrust bearing to take up some space and make the carrousel go around smoother and flatter.

I load on a turret my 308 and 30-06 on my bench they both work fine

now I just buy him primers and projectiles and let him turn me out 9mm on the dillon

Know most of them f-class sub MOA @ 1000yd types are running. Dillon 750's now days , most with auto drives. Just push a button and go . Don't think you could really get anything too bad from something with the quality of a Dillion

Closet I got is my lil lee turret I'm using more and more

Interesting. I got a 550 for most of my stuff that I punch out in bulk, and a Rock Chucker for my CF bolt actions which I want to be more accurate.
I’ll have to try some 308 loads through the 550.
