How do you like the Hornady ?

If you take your time on initial setup, ease of use is amazing. I've only used single-stage presses in the past and was a little anxious about owning a progressive. I would say that my fears were unfounded, and am certain to get years of use out of it. Like I've heard thousands of times, don't rush...progressive makes it easy to pump out bunches of rounds, just don't do anything to sacrifice safety and attention to every detail.
