Thanks for the valuabe insights- I guess my 550, with the redding 223 competition die set, and get a good powder measure and scale, carefully setup then I should be good to go. And check for "roll out"- Charlie

So is this a possible- that making the powder charge consistant (use a more precise powder measure than a Dillon) and use new brass could one then use the multi stage press to get very consistant loads. Now reloads would be different because of the shell. But the multi stage press could perfrom to the level of the single stage, I presume that the $60k machines are multi stage, they are for precise volume in a short amount of time.

So do the massive reloaders- Black Hills and Hornady use a line of single stage presses?

Hello, I am curious, why do the bench rest guys suggest single stage presses over multi for their reloading. Does that mean that businesses like Black Hills and Hornady take the time to single stage load their millions of rounds, I presume some of their reloading is done on multi stage presses, but what about the really nice rifle stuff. I understand that the charge has to be right on, that can not be gotten with a multi stage press, if you are careful it seems like it could be done. Anybody know, thanks
