I agree with the above comments. I started out on a 40 year old Lyman Spar T turret press with 6 die stations. All I could get was 120 rounds per hour.

Just bought a Dillon 550. If you're a member at a gun range/shop, you should be able to talk them into a 10% discount. For an extra $150 or so, you can pump out 300-400 rounds an hour.

I just love reloading but with summer coming . . . I've got a 6 year old who I want to teach biking and baseball too and a lovely wife I'd like to go hiking with.

many of us forget the time element when we buy presses. if your time is valuable to you, get a progressive. You can always start out slow with it, 100 rounds an hour and speed it up.

With a single stage, 100 rounds an hour is considered screaming fast.

the setup will cost you about $500 but if you reload 5 cases of 45 acp or some rifle ammo, you'll quickly recoup your investment towards cheap shooting with better accuracy and reliability than that factory crap like PMC.

Go Dillon right out the box and enjoy your life!
