Before I got my Dillon, I used the Lee autodisk on my RCBS single stage. It helped me get my reloads together for matches a bit quicker. I was also impressed with the charge to charge consistency.
When I got my Dillon 650, I set up the dies and primer system, then used it for a while with the Lee autodisk. Once I got comfortable with all the functions going on at once, I then added the Dillon powder measure.
I like to be cognizant of everything that's going on, and rarely just put blind trust in a machine. Maybe that makes me a bit overly cautious, and spend more time, but I avoid mistakes.

Enjoy,
Jim
That's a really good idea and one I will put to good use. I'll start with .45 acp since the press came set up for that caliber. At some point when I get to loading 9mm I'll look into getting the Dillon set up for that. One step at a time though.

Thanks for the advice!
