I have 3 dillon 550s. With the exception of an occasional primer getting flipped I wouldn't load on anything else. I have be using dillon for 30 years.

I was taught on an old lock n load that was very fiddly. The guy who taught me said that when I was ready I should get a Dillon. It was great advice. :)

If money is the concern, just keep an eye on the forums. They come up for sale used and it gets you a break on the price or a bunch of extras that don't come with the press.

I just picked up a Redding T7.
My new game plan is to process all my rifle brass on my Dillon machine’s and prime them so I just have to dump in powder and seat the bullet.
I’ll have just the seating dies on the T7 so once they are set I’m good to go.

I started on Dillon Square Deal B back in the late 80's. I decided to up my production a little bit and moved up to a Dillon 550. Love the 550 and I love the Dillon service. The Square Deal made one trip back to Scottsdale for a little tune up after about 15 years of use/abuse. They went over everything and replaced or refurbished the whole thing; basically, they sent me a new machine for free.

I love my Dillon square deal for pistol. It's so easy and convenient for making large quantities at mass production speeds!
I have no experience in rifle rounds tho, but I would think the same logic applies.
