I keep thinking it would be helpful to know what else you are going to load. Like, what other cartridges did you buy your Sq Deal for?? Do you still need those calibers??
I looked at the Sq Deal years ago, but decided not to do it because you're sort of "painted into a corner", and I feel that's where you are now. Here's how I see your situation...
• If you keep the Sq Deal, then you won't need another progressive, hand operated or automatic.
• If you buy a single stage to go along with the Sq Deal, then it will use different dies. You'll never be able to place those dies in the Sq Deal and rip off 50 rounds. But needing that many rounds, a single stage is going to take a long time to get there.
• Having gotten accustomed to Dillon, I doubt there are many presses out there that would meet your level of expectation for trouble-free operation and quality of ammo.
So IMHO the Sq Deal is the real issue here.
• Have you considered selling the Sq Deal? You could get really good money for it on Ebay. If that doesn't appeal, have you called Dillon about a possible trade in?
• Have you considered what it might cost to call Georgia Arms and simply buy 5000 rounds of reloaded ammo and skip the press altogether ??
So IMHO the question you asked can't be answered until you decide what to do with the Sq Deal. Hope this helps!
