I guess everybody has presses they like or don't like. I have had a Dillion since the early 1980's. Got it wholesale before they went factory direct. At the time they were the best way to get a progressive. Star made a machine that was very expensive. There was a company named C-H that made one with multiple die stations but I am not sure you would call it a progressive. Lyman had a turret tool but it was not a progressive. Ponsess Warren was coming out with a metallic press but I never saw one. The point of all this is that Dillion pioneered progressive presses for the hobby handloader. RCBS, Lee and Hornady are late comers. They had been in business for years and did not make a progressive until they saw how well Dillion was doing. I think if it was not for Dillion I would still be trying to load a whole lot of .45 ACP on a single stage RCBS press. I have always been treated very well by Dillion. I always buy Dillion, just as my way of saying thank you.
