Still haven't seen an answer to what you want to reload, and estimate as to how much you my shoot per week/month/year. That is a starting point. Many, maybe most, presses descussed already are single stage and there was a lot of good advice on them, If you are shooting a large amount of ammo then single stage is not the way to go IMO. Dillion progressive presses with their no BS warrenty on Square Deal, 550C, and 750 are what you should be considering. If you need higher volume or rifle the 550C, Super 1050, or 1100. Pistol only at the low end their Square Deal, if a mix of pistol and rifle RL550C (this include loading for precision shooting but there are tweaks to help make the press better for precision rifle), and if high volume then an XL 750, Super 1050, or RL1100. Price increases with each. Unless you are shooting several thousand a week or month a Super 1050/RL1100 is probably not a good choice due to price. The 750 is what a lot decide on or its predecessor the 650. I've loaded 500+ rounds a week on a single stage and it was time consuming. Switched to a Dillon 550B and the amount of time savings paid for itself in less than a year. Stumbled on to a Dillon 1050 at a phenominal price on eBay years ago and bought but kept the 550. Now use both regularly. Had I purchased their 650 (the 750 replaced the 650) I probaby would not have purchased the 1050. I can easily load 1000+ rnds per hour on the 1050, and closer to or better than 1200 with a bullet feeder (extra cost but worth it if doing high volume reloading), No experience with a new model in their product line -- the Dillon RL1100. Great customer service. P.S. The Super 1050 is an update/upgrade to the 1050. Different geometry on on operating lever for more leverage, and can handle more rifle rounds than the 1050.
