[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1286655, member: 32525"] I started loading my own because I was into IDPA. I bought a Dillon 550 because of the quick change toolhead options that let me switch between 9mm and .45ACP in under 10 seconds without having to change anything on the dies. Once I got into loading for rifle (.308, .300wm, and .270win), I simply use it as a single stage but still have quick change toolheads for each caliber. So, I deprime and size at one stage on the Dillon, then go to the other side of my bench to finish case prep. I use a hand prime tool, then load each case with a powder charge, and finally return to the Dillon to seat the bullet from a different station on the same press/toolhead than I used to deprime/size. It's fast for pistol when used as a progressive, and it's very convenient for rifle when used single stage. The Dillon isn't cheap by any means, but it is built like a tank and I broke even many years ago from the pistol rounds alone...loading for rifle is a bonus. gun) [/QUOTE]
