I was all set to order a Dillon 550B. Now, after reading the thread below and other information on the Internet I have having second thoughts about it.
Now I can't make up my mind between the Hornady LNL and the Dillon 550B? I feel like a woman who can't make up her mind! (No offense to any women on here)
I will be using it for .45 ACP first and foremost, but would also like to use it for other calibers eventually. I read the thread below and it appears he Hornady is pretty good competition for the Dillon if not superior in some ways.
The auto-indexing isn't a big deal, but its there as Hornady already has a case feeder.
The Dillon press forces you to buy different powder measures for different stuff which I don't know if I like....
The Hornady "may" have primer feeding problems......Maybe its fixed.
The Hornady has a solid platform for Dies.......
Cost is nearly identical.........
Help me flip a coin.......Is there something I'm not seeing that pushes one over the edge?
Please, no bashing either product unecessarily. Just factual discussion to help me be happy with my decision. I've read great things about both and some not so good things about both.
