I totally agree with all that. JBinMN has said . I just get stuck on the idea that LCT is a single stage with the index rod removed , although you don’t get all the die adjusting practice I don’t find progressive presses relaxing to load on they require to much focus watching listening and feeling and sorting all the stages out if there’s a hiccup in the process.
But it is hard to remember what it was like when I started 50 years ago.
