WHICH Reloading Press Model to choose depends upon what you load and how much,
along with a time frame of available time, including your AVAILABLE $$$$$$ BUDGET?
Just one caliber HANDGUN WITH A STRAIGHT WALL CASE, say a 45 ACP, or a .40S&W, the Dillon Square "D" is wonderful.
The
DILLON Square "D" is a
4 station PROGRESSIVE, but it only takes it's
OWN "SQUARE D" SPECIFIC DILLON DIES,
that are more expensive than standard die sets and it takes longer for a caliber change.
Most people have them
("SD") for one specific pistol round that is set up and they leave it alone and just crank out ammo.
Mike "DUKE" Venturino, the gun writer, has one Dillon Square "D" set up loading 9MM and one set up for 45ACP
just to feed his WWII submachine guns, along with his other presses for loading rifles and pistols.
If you intend to load many calibers both pistol and rifle, the Dillon 550B
is the machine for you. (You have to MANUALLY move the shell plate to each station though)
If you need a lot of ammo in say 45ACP, 40S&W, or 9MM pistol along with
RIFLE AMMO, the
Dillon 650 or
Hornady LNL
are
full 5 station PROGRESSIVE MACHINES may just be right up your alley.
The
Dillon 1050 is actually a
COMMERCIAL TYPE machine and will crank out a boat load of ammo for you to.
This machine, the
1050,
ONLY HAS A 1 YEAR WARRANTY though.

THE BRIAN ENOS WEBSITE.
He has breakdowns to help you decide upon which Dillon press is the machine for you.
The machine limits matched to your actual needs.
The old
"STAR" machine (long out of production and difficult to find parts for existing ones) was a great machine.
****Everyone needs a single stage press on there bench also.****
