RE: Progressive Presses
Some things to consider in the Dillon vs. Hornady debate are:
Flat out production rate - I think even with the case feeder, the Dillon wins.
Cost per caliber - Hornady wins. Hornady caliber changes are just cheaper, period.
Now, the reason I went with Hornady was because production rate isn't super important to me. Sure, I think a single stage is too slow for my needs, but I also don't need to make 500 per hour. My typical50 - 100per session, rate says Hornady. Also, I'll bet I load 10 calibers. . .Honady's caliber change cost was very appealing. Also, I run a lot of partial cycles and the Hornady works well for that too. If I had any complaint, it would be the plastic base for the priming assy, the lack of any rust resistant coating on the powder measure. I mean, really, how do I keep it perfectly dry and rust free. Now I run graphite through it and that seems to work.
Enjoy. All are good choices. Not sure about Lee. I have used Lee products before and they are always of lower quality. I still use their dies. Their designs are just better sometimes! Kind of contradictary, but so it goes.
