I've been using the Hornady LNL for about 4 years now and i don't have any major complaints.  I broke a small piece on it ( it was my fault) and I called hornady and they sent me a free replacement had it in 3 days.

Two thumbs up for the 550B.

I'd say hold off. I've never heard of anyone that didn't have the best of luck with the Dillon. On the flip side I know the previous mentioned brands have good reputations, which are well deserved, but I just don't think they match up to the Dillon.

Hold out, get one that will last forever with a true "no bs warranty".

I've got a 550 and my dad has the LnL.  You'll get some that will tell you, if it isn't blue it's a POS but I've used both and they'll both produce good ammo.  If I had to start all over and considering I've used both, I'd have a hard time talking myself out of the LnL for less money.

Yeah I have still been thinking blue. I might just bite the bullet and get a dillion. It will probably be next month when I try to talk my wife into a new press for a bday present lol.

Hornady LnL is a well though out design and has good factory support.  You might need to to tune/tweak a bit to get it smooth as butter, but it is a great deal in progressive presses for the money with lots of potential for upgrades.

Sell the 357 sig and slap a 9x25 dillion barrel in your 10mm.  Use the left over $ to buy blue  :tup:

This new little 320 in 357 sig is one of the nicest shooting pistols I have ever laid my hands on. The 10mm should be here tomorrow :IBCOOL:

Picked up an LNL a couple of months ago and it has been great so far.  Setup was pretty easy and resulting ammo has been very consistent. They also have a rebate for 500 bullets which is worth about $100 depending which bullet you choose to receive.
