I only have one day's experience with the Dillon 650. Nice press, but not for everybody.

Hornady's....no experience. Personal thing....I prefer removable tool heads and can be put away ready to reload with as a set....again that's just a personal druther.

I went though the process of deciding on a progressive 3 years ago. Really looked close at the Dillon and Pro 2000. After analyzing and trying both, I picked the Pro 2000. Better? No. Just as good yes. Different features? Yes. It just fit my needs better. Your needs should come first.

Pro 2000 isn't for everybody either, but it fit me perfectly. What do I like about the Pro 2000?
  • Heavy-duty cast-iron Press (the only one except maybe the dillon 1050)
  • The fast and super safe APS primer system. I have extensive time on tubes and strips...APS with preloaded CCI strips is so fast, I'd never go back to tubes.
  • The removable shell plates
  • The Uniflow Powder measure with easily adjustable mic. (similar to Hornady's)
  • The 10 sec primer size changeover.
  • Fast caliber changeover with easy to readjust, dump, and refill powder measure.
  • No slow-caliber-change case loader.
What I added?
Simple impovement mods to the APS system.
Modded Hornady Bullet feeder that is super quick to change calibers.

And you have 10 shellplates???? That's a $300 plus investment.
