Hey all,
I intend to start reloading pistol ammo this winter. Something to do while keeping the wood stove going down in the basement. I shoot .40, .38 special, and .357. I go through a lot of .38 and .357 with a revolver and Marlin 1894C.
I'm looking at getting a progressive press -- and a single stage press bullet pulling and what ever comes by. Right now, I'm considering the Dillon 650, Hornady L-n-L, and RCBS Pro 2000. Please don't suggest a turret press, I've used a co-worker's 550 and know that I want a progressive.
I see this can be an emotional subject, but can owners please post the pro and cons of their presses? RCBS seems to be the most common in walk-in stores, followed by Hornady. Dillon seems to be online sales and fewer dealers. Usability and change over from one caliber are of most concern to me, not through put.
I'm indifferent on accessories (case vibrators, balances, etc.).
Also, does the Dillon accept RCBS dies?
Thanks!
