Exactly the same here.  Had a 1050, perfectly happy with the LNL.

If I didn't have three Dillon 1050s, I would STiLL be using my Hornady L-N-L AP. Great press.

I taught my son and s.i.l. on a Hornady L-N-L and it is very easy to learn on. Unlike Dillons, it is very open and easy to see what is happening. You can load cases and bullets with your left hand while keeping your right hand on the handle.

You seat bullets at station 4 and, unlike other presses, that station is right under your nose so you can just look down and SEE the powder in the case. Easy to avoid squibs or double charges.

For myself, there are two choices:

1) Hornady L-N-L if you don't need a case collator.

2) Dillon 650 or 1050 is you do need a case collator.

I would not waste money on any progressive press with fewer than five die stations (and they have to be DIE stations and not 4 die stations and a dedicated priming stations) or one that is NOT auto-indexing.

Your needs may be different, but my set-up is:

1) size

1.5) prime

2) expand, flare, and charge case

3) RCBS Lock-Out die

4) seat

5) crimp

So, yes, I really do NEED five die stations...

Agreed. I have the same process. Really like my LNL AP just have to tweek a few things from time to time.
