I haven't got to use it much but the complexity of it I just have found out I do not enjoy and might can't handle. This is my first progressive press and I'm used to single stage to where I have complete control. I got this to really mash out some 9mm loads but it's so much going on at one time I end up with mistakes and sometimes it stops working and I have to problem solve for a while. All in all the frustration and time lost I don't know if it is better than a single stage for me.
