Ive been a dillon man through and through but i need a press for loading 223s and the lock and load progressive seems to fit the bill especially considering i can get a 1000 free 150 grain .30 interlocks. Im going to see if this press is something i can live with and if so get another set up in 308. ( i hate swapping calibers) Ive used a buddys a little bit and its kind of an odd operating press after using dillons for years but im sure it will be fine once i get used to it.
