How about lets move away from the posts about who's equipment is the best?
I read THR daily and this question comes up at least once a day. We already know that the answer will (pick one) Dillon/Hornady/Lee/Lyman. (Get the idea??) Instead, think of what your application will be (high volume pistol, low volume rifle, precision rifle etc) and then find the press that fits that need. Doesn't matter which company it is. It's a personal preference such as Coke vs Pepsi. Most of these companies have been around for awhile and they wouldn't still be doing business if they sold junk or didn't take care of their customers. I'm an NRA instructor and have been reloading for over 25 years and have been able to use equipment from all the manufacturers and the 1 takeaway that i'm giving is each press/die/scale etc will have features that you'll either love or hate. So spend more time examining the equipment and less time asking opinions cause you and only you will be the final judge on whether or not you will ultimately like/dislike the equipment. For the record for those that are asking what I use :) I have a Lyman T-Mag turret, Lee Classic Turret and Lee Classic single stage. I shoot approx 200-300 pistol rounds per week, and about 100 5.56 every other week.
