I don't know about Hornady's warrantee. The Dillon warrantee is legendary, and worth several hundred dollars, IMHO. I love my Dillon 550B...it works very well. I'm sure the Hornady does too. The only things that I can see that might sway it are #1 Warrantee (as said before, I don't know whether Hornady's is as good as the Dillon No BS) and #2 I like the toolhead concept, rather than the LNL concept. That's just me...the dies are ALWAYS in the same place. However, I'm sure the Hornady system is fine.

Just between you and me, I like the looks of the Hornady better than Dillon, but I just like red better.
