I've still got my RCBS RockChucker single stage, and a Hornady LNL. I'm not sure, but I might have a pair of RockChuckers, the mind plays tricks every now and again...

The learning curve IS steep going to a progressive press, the hard part is getting all the dies adjusted so you don't crush cases or bullets. I'm debating going back to a single stage, because like solidus said, it's therapeutic reloading, especially if it's on a single stage. I would do about 500 rounds at a whack of 45ACP, running them through the sizer, then sitting and watching TV while putting in primers.

Amazingly enough, I didn't screw any up...
