Thinking back a few decades when the Star progressive reloader was introduced, WOW. It too was pried way above the competition but WOW! They still look and perform like they belong in a museum for future generations to enjoy.
Now that that's out of the way I have friends with Stars and they are special but they do take special parts and maintenance as well.
I have 5 Dillons for pistol calibers and 2 Hornady's for rifle calibers because I don't like changing die settings either. Did I buy them all at once? Nope! And not all were purchased new. Do they serve my purposes well, yup!
The people that are willing and able to spend that kind of $$$$$$ on a press are already loading on LNL's and D550/650/750 progressive presses.
People just starting out and want a turret are going to look at presses at 1/3 the price.
Dust cover?? I have several in blue and red. They are nicely folded up and out of the way!
Now if they want to trade for say 3 Dillons I'd be willing to do a product evaluation for them as long as I get to use a Hornady powder dispenser!
