IMHO, the Auto disk powder measure and their dies work better than the Dillon's. I like the powder through expanding die since they are half the cost and include the powder die. The other benefit is no operating rod. I have a new Dillon measure that has a "safety link" that constantly clicks and sounds cheap. I use it for rifle and a Lee for pistol. Having multiple measures makes changovers easier and not fooling with the op rod is a blessing.

I wore my first measure out at 10,000 rounds and replaced it with the new model, a much improved design. Get the micro-adjusting measure bar for ultimate versitility.

I'm also considering the rifle powder measure from Lee. It handles IMR powder very well and is again, half the price.

Good luck reloading and play it safe. You can have a lot of fun with a 200 gr 45 at 700 FPS!
