Now as far as pros and cons. The Dillon folks are going to give every pro they can think of, but very few cons. They have to justify their cost some how.
[/QUOTE] I'm one of those old geezers who remember when Star and Phelps were pretty much king of the hill. They are still nice presses, but back in the day they were extremely pricey and aren't nearly as adaptable to different calibers. When I got really active into competitive pistol shooting, Dillon finally came along. I started with a 450 and upgraded it to a 550B. I got my 650 used for a very good deal. It was missing a few parts, but a call to Dillon got me more than I asked for to get it up and running. Dillons aren't perfect (mine sure aren't), but they are the standard that all the others are rated against. There really isn't a huge difference in base prices of comparative model progressives. Dillon has always been about their progressive presses and reloading. The others have some catching up to do.
