I have been reloading on a single stage press for a long time. I am thinking about buying a Dillon.

My shooting habits are like this. I shoot mostly .38's and that is divided between wadcutters and semi-wadcutters. I also shoot some .357 and .45. A lot of .22's also but that doesn't count for this.

Am I better off buying two or three Square Deal B's or one 550B? In other words, how much hassle and intial expense is there in converting back and forth for different calibers and loads with the 550B?

I figure my shooting comes to less than 10,000 rounds of centerfire ammo a year at the current time.
