I haven't moved to progressives because I want to see the powder in the case and then double check again.
Very early in my learning how , I missed charging a case....bullet stuck in the forcing cone tying up the revolver, I was lucky !....happened 49 years ago but I learned...watch the powder !

There have probably been just as many squibs & doubles using loading blobks & ss press as progressives. Its the technique not the tool. I look into every case prior to placing a bullet. To me, safer than loading 50-100 in a block & trying to make sure all cases are charged correctly.
