I own a couple of Dillon machines including the 550 and the 650 XL but use them exclusively for handgun ammunition. Prefer to load rifle using a couple single-stage RCBS presses.....I am looking for precision/quality not quantity or speed when I load for rifle.
I go through the efforts of checking for case length, uniforming the primer pocket, deburring the flash-hole, etc. But that's what makes for accurate shooting in my book.
Of course if you are looking put out a high number of rounds.....the Dillon can be set up to do it and it will do it well. I have a buddy who shoots a ton of varmint rifle calibers and he uses his 550 set up with a case trimmer attachment and has excellent results.
Check on the Brownells website for some excellent precision tools including Wilson, Sinclair, etc.
Good shooting and keep your powder dry!
