Lyman T-Mags or Spar-Ts can be had at a gun show for $20 used.

Mine is 40 years old and works like a champ. Still use it.
I too thought I wouldn't need a Dillon 550. But when you can make 400 rounds an hour compared to 120 rounds an hour on a turret, the time factor should be considered.

I just keep buying and filling up ammo cans with 9mm and .45 ACP ammo.

It's kind of funny how ammo keeps for decades. I'm currently shooting some WWII .32 ACP surplus ammo in my Kel Tec P-32. If it's sealed in an ammo can, it should be able to get me into my 80s.

I'd get the progressive and shoot more to reload more.
