I sent a member a PM, and thought I would share my thoughts with others.
I have owned 17 progressive shotshell and metallic progressive presses in the 50+ years I have been dinking around with this hobby, and also reloaded on a buddy's Camdex and two of his progressives.
Every press has its annoyances and hiccups. Some are worse than others, some are horrible, and some are acceptable. I am an engineer and not too shabby with mechanical stuff, but no J Morris either. IMO there is no perfect press.
With old age and less shooting I have downsized significantly. WRT progressive presses, I am down to a PW800+ for target 12 ga loads. For "volume" metallics, a Dillon 1050 and Dillon 550 do all I need, and work well with little "fussiness".
I have two PW375's for hunting loads in both 2 3/4" and 3" hulls for 12 and 20 ga and the few 28 ga hunting loads I need. Will be loading buckshot and slug loads on the 375's as well.
Lastly a Rock Chucker and Co-Ax. BTW the Co-Ax is over 50 years old and is the first press I bought after working with the Lee Target Loader for my first CF rifle...a .222 M700 Varmint.
If someone has owned a perfect progressive press, let us know. Unicorns may exist?
