I agree with Shoney. The Dillon 550 are great for banging out tons of junk ammo for pistol, but it's dreadful for competition rifle loads, and quite a bit more expensive (i.e., around a couple hundred dollars) if you're going to set it up to quick-change for two or three calibers. Also, the LNL has an extra station, which allows all kinds of options. The Hornady powder measure skins the Dillon; just check this forum for the numerous threads for questions about getting the Dillon powder measure to drop consistently.
