Late to the party, but I my first press was the RCBS Jr. and I'm still using it (53 years later). I really longed for a A-2 like all the gunwriters had back in the mid 60's, but by the time I could afford one it had been replaced with the Rockchucker. I bought one of them and the 2 are on my bench and both used. I sometimes will load several hundred rounds at a time, but not often enough to make me want to buy a progressive.
