I could never go back from progressive.
Brass prep sucks up a lot of my time as it is, I do resize on a single die in the toolhead on my Dillon 550B before Brass prep, though. All pistol and MSR rifle rounds is 99.5% of what I shoot.
Single stage great for low volume rifle rounds, especially the big thick walled magnums. Im actually having a friend resize my 300 WSMs on his single stage press for me. I've accumulated (almost) a total of 50 pcs of spent casings in 15 years! The best part is I can recall the specific occasions I fired about 20 of these, and each one resulted in an instant kill. The other 25 were fired at the range sighting in (about 3 per year) which were uneventful. I also borrowed it to my Brother who used it on 2 hunts and killed 2 deer one supposedly at 300 yds, and a friend killed his first Mule deer with it at 200 yds, If this doesn't qualify as low volume, I don't know what does! The fact all brass made it back is pretty amazing, and this rifle has basically legendary status, thanks to being accurate and well.....truth be told, a little overpowered for what it has been used for. Winchester really got it right on their "Fail Safe" product line I guess.
