Ok I'll be the first Hornady guy... I know the Dillon press is very good, I know people that swear by them but I couldn't afford one at the time. So I ended up getting the Lock n Load and have been very pleased with it so far. I can make close to 300 rounds an hour if I wanted. But I'm not in the ammo biz..So if I make half that in an hour that's OK. To me it's like a stress reliever. Good quiet time....my little get away. So I guess if you can afford the Dillon then go for it...If not Lock N Load!!
