Progressive Reloading Press Beginner-Friendly or Not!

If you have ever used a turret reloading press, the work of progressive reloading press will be easier to understand for you. When you are working with a turret press, the case is set in a shell holder. In this case, several dies are rotated.

The dies rotate over the case on a revolving tool head. When it comes to a turret reloading press, the whole process revolves around that one case. The case will be handled at a time when the topic is about turret reloading press.

The progressive reloading press basically works on the turret press but there are specific differences. In the case of progressive reloading press, the die holder or the tool head basically stays fixed in a place. The cases of the reloading press are kept in a case holder disk.

The case holder disk of a progressive reloading press rotates. The dies and the cases are equal in terms of numbers. It means that if you the number of the cases on the rotating case holder basically is equal to the dies in the die holder!

So, it makes us understand that the number of cases is equivalent to the number of tool head stations. If you once pull the handle of the reloading press, multiple tasks will occur. We all know the progressive reloading press can operate multiple performances in one pull of the handle.

When it comes to the average reloading rate, it will be a little higher than the average reloading rate of the turret reloading press or the single-stage reloading press. Cases of this reloading press are fed one by one into the case holder. Every time you pull the handle of the reloading press, the cases of the case holder have a single performance to perform.

Then a station rotates the case holder disk. Now, this rotation process can be held manually or automatically. When a new case will be input one by one and when the final station will take round, all the cases will fall into the bin of the reloading press.

The process of reloading by the progressive reloading press is very complicated to understand. If you are new to this sector, you will never be able to understand the whole process easier. You will need to go through the smallest tasks and then you will understand it properly.

On the other hand, the single-stage reloading press is complication-free. One task occurs at a time and the process is easier to understand. If you talk about the progressive reloading press, you will see that the accuracy level of the ammunition of this press is not high-grade.

When this affords faster speed for reloading, the accuracy is not too high. If you are not a seasoned RELOADER, you will find it tough to manage the accuracy of the ammunition.

So, if you are a beginner then you will never be accurate with your ammunition. So, we do not recommend progressive reloading press for the beginners.
