[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 105393, member: 1290"] It's a great press and system for the advanced loader who is going to need large volumes of mediocre ammo. It is just not for beginners. I would leave it in the box for now and look into a quality single stage press like a Rockchucker or Special 5 from RCBS to learn on. Get the feel for what things should feel like. With a single stage press you can visually verify the powder charges and weigh them to perfection. With a Dillon this can't be done. When you get a machine gun or start shooting .223 or lots of handun ammo that Dillon will be a great asset. For now though it will make more mistakes faster than you can fix them. 10 minutes at the handle of the Dillon could cost you hours pulling bullets. Hang onto it though. It is money in the bank.
