candymanprogressive press accuracy
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.

jeffeossoI 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.

BlacktailerThe 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.
