If you get a progressive, make sure you get one with changeable toolheads. I keep a different toolhead set up with powder measure for each caliber I load on my 650, and it makes caliber changes a breeze. No having to adjust powder, seating, or crimp. I load a single round first each session to double check that everything is still set as it should be, then start cranking out rounds. I will usually pull one round every few minutes to double check powder charge and cartridge length.
When adjusting an automatic powder dispenser, instead of measuring one throw, once you get close, measure out 10 throws and weight it, then divide by 10. This will end up being far more accurate than measuring a single throw. You might get 17.9 for each throw. But with 10 charges you may end up with 179.9. In which case you almost have 18 grains.
