I'm with Fred on this one. I compared the price of a Dillon in one caliber to 4 Lee 1000's in 4 calibers (38/357, 9mm, 45acp & 223). I've now had the 4 Lee's for over 5 years & loaded 1000's of rounds without any problems. I also bought a Lee single stage to size my 223 brass. All I do to change calibers is unloosen 3 wingnuts & swap them. I have a few buddies that have Dillons & they have broke a few parts thru the years, but they are a good quality loader, but too steep in price for me. Hope this info helps & good luck in your search.
