I find the 'play' (or lack of) in my progressive is conducive to excellent rifle ammo! it's very rare I see a dimension outside +/-0.001" of the target, whether shoulder, trim or seating (seating dimension measured to ogive, as OAL inevitably varies with target bullets that are seated consistently to the ogive). My single stage is used very rarely indeed these days. I know of some very successful F Class shooters who use 550s specifically.Sim G wrote:I found the movement on the turret was not conducive to consistent rifle ammunition. Exactly the same reason why I don’t load rifle ammo on my Dillon 550. I found te variation in OAL too great for my liking.
Turret press - or not?

Re: Turret press - or not?
ditch the auto disc, and use the Lee Auto Drum. it is brilliant!!! once setup, it dispenses bang on, everytime. not seen any issues with powder flake shape like in the autodisc. EG, I can drop 2.5gr of Unique no problem in the drum, which I can't with the auto disc.
changing powder amounts when changing caliber/setups is simple, empty the powder, whip out the drum, stick in a previously setup one, refil. run a few cases to get it all moving. verify and you're away!
I have about 10 spare drums now, all marked up with powder and weight for different loadings.
also, no issues with the primer system here. I do have the press setup with the auto eject system too!
