What do you folks think about a Dillon 650

it's an excellent press.....Isure like mine!

The Hornady L&L AP is another fine press.....

what are you specifically looking for? Handgun?...rifle?

I like my Dillon 650.
I also have a Lee ammomaster.
They each have their quirks. But the Dillon is heads above the Lee in my opinion.

Have a little experience with progressive and other types of reloading presses.

The Dillon is always a good choice.

I have over 25,000 rounds on my Dillon 650. All of it pistol ammo. I have a couple of rifle conversions but have not set them up yet.

Dillon realy does stand behind their products, no questions asked.

I've been using a Dillon SDB press for over 10 years now. Thousands of rounds of pistol ammo without a hitch, hard to go wrong with Dillon.

dromia,

Found the comparison of the three presses very informative. Thanks for posting it.

The writer frequently comments that a particular feature for the Dillon cost more money (good point), but it would have been nice to see his assessment if those extra-cost features would have changed his conclusion. Assume that spending more money is not a total no-no with him since he bought more case toolheads for both the Lee and the Dillon for caliber change.

Again, thanks for posting a good comparison.



Have personally used Dillon 450, 550, 650, and 1050 presses and Hornady and Lee presses. Different from the assessment writer, I preferred the Dillon route. Maybe because I valued some features differently than the writer. Or maybe I reserve red for my Bonanza Co-Ax presses and the Hornady shade of red clashed.
