My choice has been carefully thought out over a period of time.

I have two Dillon 550B's. When you factor in the cost of different caliber tool heads, my pick is the Dillon 550B. The 650's are faster but considerably more expensive when you factor the change over costs.

I have NO problem with manual advance and do both rifle and pistol. The reloading rate is 400-500 per hour depending on the operator. I always suggest that your emphasis should be on QUALITY of reload and NOT speed of reload. However, I would not EVER willingly go back to a single station press.

I have a number of reloading presses. My RCBS Rock Chucker single stage handles case forming chores. My Lee Classic Turret handles small runs (under 200 rounds) of specialty loads. The Lee progressives are un-reliable unless you are a master mechanic. They are NOT user friendly.

You absolutely CANNOT beat Dillon service...
