Plenty of guys are loading sub moa ammo on their progressives. My handgun ammo is far better than the cheap bulk factory stuff & it all comes off a progressive.

I'm 67 and have been reloading over 47 years and have never needed or wanted a progressive press. This is not a misconception, I do not not think anyone should start reloading on a progressive press until they learn the basics.
The OP is just starting to reload rifle ammunition and there is nothing wrong starting with a single stage press and doing "ONE" thing at a time.
Below "Froggy" has both type presses and reloads his rifle ammunition on a single stage Rockchucker press. So send him a email and tell him about his "misconception" and choice of reloading press for rifle ammunition.

Elements of Accuracy — Making Perfect Ammo
Q: With the micro-sized groups you shoot, you must be doing some special voodoo. What is the secret to super-accurate reloads?
The secret to accuracy is that there is no secret–a good robust process that is repeatable every time is the key.
Q: OK, then, describe your reloading process…
When I get home from the range, I tumble the brass for a couple of hours to clean the necks up. After taking the brass out of the tumbler, I clean out all residual walnut media and walnut dust. I then use a little Imperial sizing wax on a RCBS pad to lightly coat the neck area of the cases.
I use a RCBS Rock Chucker single stage press. When using this or any other press, ensure that the ram has no lateral play or side-to-side slop–that will kill your bullet run-out.
