I just wanted to add after reading and talking on a thread on progressive press'. I just wanted to put it out there if anyone has a used one for a good price let me know.
If this is not the right place for this tread please move it to the right one.

Good luck, few good deals are to be had on Dillon or LNL. I did just sell one of my 550B to a buddy for $320 w/ tool heads & other goodies, but tough to find them. IMO, unless you are shooting 200rds a week, you don't really need a progressive.
You can load 60-75rds an hour on a single stage if you are organized. With the Lee Class Turret, 120-140rds. So even at 200rds a week, that is less than 3hrs reloading time spent. I used to shoot about 500rds a week, the prgressive was handy, but I still use the ss quite a bit.

I wanted to get it for my 9mm, its a S&W 915. It gobbles up rds like kids with candy. My Ruger revolver in 38spec eats them up a bit more slowly. My M1 & 30carbine eat them just as fast but hardly get as used as much.

The LNL is a good machine, equal to the Dillon 650 in speed & quality. If I didn't have blue I would probably go this route. For a couple 100 rds a week, a Lee Classic Turret would fill the need quite easily for a lot less money & complication. The 550B is manual indexing but very simple to setup & use & keep running.

The LNL is a great press. If you have a LNL Classic, they can be calibrated together, ala ultimatereloader.com.
