what specifically is your goal?.....what do you want the tool to do for you? /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."

If you're talking handguns, it's gotta be a Dillon. For anything else I think one would be well served with a Redding turret press. | |||

I bought a Dillon 550b last summer. I have loaded about 5000 rounds of pistol without any problems. I originally wanted a 650 but my local gun shop and a dillon tech talked me into the 550b. The 550b is easy to use and change calibers,,,,,but if I was doing it again I would buy the 650 or the Hornady. I have to work like hell to load 400 rounds of pistol an hour on the 550b! If I load at a leisurly pace then probably 300-350. | |||

After my 23 years of service my old Hornady Pro-7 gave up the ghost and I recently switched to a Dillon XL 650 (I never liked Hornady's priming system with swinging arm as it never proved reliable).  No regrets though, before the Dillon I used to complain about the time it took me to handload. Now that I can load 100 rounds in < 10', I wonder what to do in between  I acquired toolheads + powder dies for every caliber I handload for and a complete extra priming system. Now a caliber conversion takes no more than 10'- 15' minutes as I have nothing left to adjust, except my (single) powder measure. The next step, will be to buy separate powder measures, so that everything remains set once and for all.

Thanks Bob, that's interesting. I also know of a micrometer (http://www.uniquetek.com/site/696296/product/T1231) to replace the factory adjusting nut of the Dillon powder measure. Not as fast a separate powder measures for dialing different charges but waaaay more economical.
