I want to get into reloading and was checking out the dillon 550, curious what the popular opinion was on it.

a local gun shop told me that it was a bad choice because I was new to reloading and wouldnt be able to 'feel' whats going on with the case and suggested I begin with a more basic setup for starting out.

i dont really see how it would be any different in terms of feedback but then again I am new to reloading.

is there any truth to this?

I felt it may just be a persuasion technique to get me to buy something he had on the shelf.



i really would rather buy the right thing and just buy it once.

I am primarily going to be doing rifle loads for hunting and target(308/ 6.5x300wsm/ 375 ruger/338 lapua)

but will probably want to get into handgun loads too (for my 10mm)

any suggestions would be welcome
