[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1636974, member: 26227"] After reading page one of the responses I am going to give you what I have learned throughout 40 years of watching and reloading. I started off with a C&H single stage (my father's) at age 8, helping him decap and size cases. For hunting and few cartridges this is great. no complaints. I moved to a Dillon 450 and it was faster, it had the strength and reliability of an "O" press. up-graded the RL-450 to an RL-550 and was even more happy. In 2008 I tried my friends Dillon 650 and absolutely hated it. Then I tried my friends Redding Turret press and was marginally happy with it. I also tried out just about everything from RCBS, Hornady, and Lee had to offer and pretty much hated everything they had to offer. This is just me. I have friends that have used my Dillons and either hated them or loved them. I have a Dillon 1050 and love it but it is and was always dedicated to 45 ACP my IDPA/IPSC loads. I am very happy with my Dillons. I have 2-550's and one 1050. My best advice is use (test out) as many presses as you can before making a decision. Whatever you are comfortable with, use that and do not let anyone else influence you on your decision.. You will never be happy with someone else's favorite reloader. Later Tatters. [/QUOTE]
