[QUOTE="SavageHunter11, post: 1776457, member: 100006"] Looking to pick up a progressive reloading press shortly after Christmas and I'm starting to weigh my options. Originally I was set on a Dillon 550C but the thought of only having 4 spots in my tooling head (was hoping to run a powder check) plus not being an automatic indexing press has me looking at other options. Kinda starting to lean towards the Lee Precision Load-Master as it auto indexes and has removable tool-heads like a Dillon so I can keep everything set correctly. I've read that the Lee is cheaper but requires some initial user modifications to run smooth. I am also looking at the Dillon 650XL because I very much have a buy once cry once mentality but I'm having a hard time spending that much on a progressive press. If it helps, I'll mainly be using this press to mass load 223 and 308 plinking/prepping ammunition but eventually I was hoping to transition to loading 45ACP and 10MM to cut down the cost of shooting some of my pistols. Anything I load for the rifles I would only expect marginal accuracy (2-3 MOA?). What i mean by that is I don't plan nor need to load match ammo in mass. What's everyone used and had experience with? Is there something in particular to stay away from? [/QUOTE]
