If you were going to do pistol and some high volume rifle like .223, 7.62x39  what would you guys use?
What would 'I 'use? What I have.
 If you were looking at only 1 press it would be a Dillon 550.
  A case feeder is available for the 550 as well.

Thx my brother n law and I were looking at going In On a press together.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

A 550 will do everything you need. My last two runs of ammo were .30-30, 300ct, .40 700ct, and .223, 1k. Like anything....the devil is in the details, paying attention, and being smooth and consistent in your loading practices. Dillon has a "no b.s." warranty and they back it up.

I think presses are a lot like ford/chevy......you like what you like. I have no doubt that there are good presses other than the Dillon...no doubt at all. I think some are more finiky than others and that can vary further with caliper, necked or not, auto index, manual this and that....get what you want, learn to use it and go from there.
