OK,I'm not that bad off financially,I simply don't need to pump out a month's worth of shooting in one hour and then watch the boob tube or take the mrs shopping much more than .I care to.

I enjoy the slower pace of my Lee Classic Turret
As i get older, closer to retiring, my time seems more valuable.
I started on a ss press. I teach reloading on a ss press. For handgun shooters, anything over 100rds a week, i wont recommend anything but a progressive. Workload & total time invested far out way a few $100. It probably doesnt get much better than a 550 for less than 500rds a week. Use it as a progressive or if you just like pulling the handle, use it as an inverted turret. Options, i like options & for only $250 more, no brainer. That is 1000 factory 9mm?
Another point i often hear that needs correction is quality control. Done properly, there is no loss of control or quality loading on A progressive. Just pay attention & resist becoming a handle puller.
