I'm surprised at the high regarding for loading on a single stage press displayed on this thread. It really is just as easy if not easier to screw up any step on a single stage press. With my Hornady LNL the most likely way to miss a powder drop would result in every station being missed and would be more obvious and easier to spot than a missed powder drop using any single stage process. With an auto indexing press it's not impossible to double charge a case, but it is a lot harder to do than with the Lee perfect powder dispenser I was using before.

With a progressive press you put an empty case and bullet down with every stroke of the handle. Once the stations are setup correctly there is less room for operator error. You remove much of the possibility for incorrectly handling a case if you only touch it once. I have loaded thousands of rounds on a single stage Rock Chucker and 10,000+ on my Lock N Load and can easily say the rounds loaded on the LNL are just as safe if not safer.
