    Mad, I was in the same boat until a month ago, got the Hornady lock n load mainly for 9mm. Now i just leave it setup and jump on for 20 minutes on friday night for the weekends shooting.
    Have loaded about the same amount on my same Lee and haven't broken anything, but don't use the primer system, but it is getting very gritty in the ram, even after stripping and cleaning it regularly.
    Might be looking for a replacement single stage also

    I have the RCBS Rockchucker supreme mkIV I think. It spews used primers all over the place but is very solid.

    Now I have never loaded 9mm on a single (my very first press was a Dillon 650) but have a single for rifle and odd tasks - you NEED a progressive! Frees up so much time for other things.....

    However, very well done on doing that lot on a single, and enjoy emptying them

    Can someone post a photo of these progressive presses? I have a Lee turret and I only load for two rifles.

    Apart from a Hornady progressive press I once owned, I've had 2x Lyman Orange Crusher presses over 35 odd years of shooting and Reloading. I think that they are a great press. I've used mine for some pretty heavy duty case sizing and loading all manner of cartridges for myself and shooting mates. Thanks to the rugged construction they have always stayed perfectly in alignment. Last lot of 6.5mm SAUM I loaded, case neck runout was .001 and all my loaded ammunition bullet runout hovered around .001 to .002.
