I am thinking of buying a progressive press and have really only seen them used for pistols. Can you get good, accurate rifle rounds from a progressive press??? sure would make loading for prairie dogs faster. Big Grin

I use the hornady LnL, and have not suffered any decrease in accuracy in my 257, 708, or 7x64. All of which are 1/2 MOA rifles.

The only consideration with a progressive is what type of powder you are using. If you are using a long extruded powder like IMR4831 which doesn't meter very well out of a powder measure, a progressive is not necessarily the way to go (although you can still use it for sizing, priming and seating). On the other hand, with a powder that meters OK, a progressive is fine and I doubt that you will experience any significant decrease in accuracy.
