[QUOTE="Hairtrigger, post: 391374, member: 14809"] Consider a Hornady, Great machine with excellent customer service to back it up. With the deal Hornady is running giving 500 bullets with a purchase, the price is hard to beat I have loaded on a Hornady progressive press for over 20 years and am pleased. At one time I kept hearing how Dillon was so much better so I bought a SDB, I hated the powder measure and considering at the time it was almost the same price as the Hornady but would only load pistol cases I soon sold it leaving me unimpressed. Then I ran across a deal on a Dillon 550. The 550 is manual indexing... ON A PROGRESSIVE MACHINE!?!... at least I got my money back out of it. Still thinking Dillon must be better than Hornady because all of the internet experts kept saying so I began looking for a 650. I found a gun shop that had one set up and let me try it. The Dillon machines use the little brass buttons that are for case retaining and a real pain in the !$$. Then the dealer tries, on top of a machine that is more expensive than the Hornady, tries to sell me a Dillon strong mount and a roller handle... now the price is no where close.... easy choice. I purchased a second Hornady progressive press. Many times in a brand vs brand debate I hear "my brand is the best" from those that have never owned another brand.... seems to be short on facts to me. here is some good reading [URL]http://www.comrace.ca/cmfiles/dillonLeeHornadyComparison.pdf[/URL] One thing when comparing presses, get to operate them if possible. The one I use is a right hand handle operation and left hand case and bullet insertion and some others are not, this is what I am used to making others seem awkward. Just what I am used to, others may seem more comfortable to you [/QUOTE]
