Dillons are great machines, but not the best with which to learn the science of reloading.
There is a lot more to the process than just pulling the lever and cranking 'em out.
Cases abound where novice reloaders have produced faulty rounds (most often double-charged or not charged) with unhappy results. Often, there's a progressive press in that equation.

This is good, heads-up advice. Do your research & development in the single stage mode. Learn all about what it is, then fire up the progressive. I load beaucoup rounds on single stage equipment, usually less than 100 rds. in a batch. The cowboy shooters and competetive guys around these parts need about 600 rds. per gun per man per weekend, or somewhere around that. They have progressives set up for each and spend a few weeknite hrs., cranking out enough fodder for the weekend. To my way of thinkin', that is the true purpose of progressive loading.
