What did you do at your reloading bench today?

From my Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro (ABLP) days, I have gotten into the habit of loading everything in a given caliber before changing to another.
The Lee ABLP is a great inexpensive progressive once it is tuned in. The problem is changing calibers is easily a 45min-1.5hr process to get fine tuned. Even when returning to a previously tuned caliber, you have to go through the same process. Because of this, Dillon is far superior, but $$$.
This comment will ruffle some feathers... If space wasn't an issue, it would be a toss-up between a Dillon XL750 or 4-5 Lee ABLP, one for each caliber and still saving significant money. An entire ABLP costs less than a Dillon caliber conversion kit + toolhead.

Hey what will you trade me for an unused Lee 4000 press? I have most of the parts. Press itself is 100% complete but I got a 6-pack press and took the powder drop because they didn't have the deluxe 6-pack kit in stock. I think I have 2 plates. 44 mag and 6.5 grendel. If I come up this weekend I can bring that too. I need primers and 6.5 grendel brass.
