Which press do you use?

Just wanted to see which press is the preferred choice of the members. You can pick more than one choice. Please vote only on which press you use not other equipment like scales and powder measures. etc.

Enjoy safe shooting!

Bear

I had 5 Lee Pro 1000's for many years. Recently I sold them all and bought a Dillon XL 650. I didn't get the Dillon before now because of the cost, but now I think it's well worth the extra money.

I have a Dillon 650 and a Rock Chucker. The 650 is an awesome machine. I can sit down and load several hundred rounds in less than an hour and rarely ever have a machine (different from human ) problem. They are a little high but I think they are worth it.

I just won an eBay auction for a Dillon 550 and a bunch of other good stuff like case trimmer, scale, brass cleaner(vibrator), dies for 30-30 and 38/357, a couple of caliber conversions.....Can't wait till it gets here....

Congrats on your Dillon Win.

When I finally took the plunge I was like a kid waiting for Christmas. I was soooooooo happy when it arrived. I had bought the VCR instructional tape also. It took me a good part of the morning to get everything just where I wanted. I was reloading that evening. WOW!!!!!! What an ammo spitting machine. And SMOOTH!!!!!!!!!!! I enjoy shooting and now I have the added benefit of a great time reloading.

You will like your Dillon. They are great machines.

Congrats again.

Jim
