Mine would have to be my old lee classic. Have had it for years. Simple elegant CHEAP. Did I mention CHEAP! If we are dreaming I would have to say a Dillion XL 650! Anyone else?

I am jealous of your dillion!
It is a great unit. I don't go that fast but most of my rounds come out uniform.
I can't live with too much automation. Nothing progressive for me. I hate any press that cams over at the top of the stroke. It makes die adjustment unnecessarily tedious for me.
I've owned several presses over the years, and keep coming back to a Lee turret for the majority of my loading. I use the Classic Cast Turret without the auto advance feature. I still do each process in batches.
I use a Lee Classic Cast Breech Lock single stage for some rifle rounds, just because I like the feel of it. The breech lock feature with the lock ring eliminator is simply great. With the longer stroke of the Cast Turret press, there's really no justification for me to have the single stage, other than I like it.
I'd be satisfied with either of these two alone.

Yea I would NEVER use a progressive with any rifle reload! I am way too particular with my rifle reloads. Good Choices!
