I had two of the early Hornady presses. One was serial number 6 if I recall. They were an ok sort of press but on mine, at least, the automatic indexing wasn't all that reliable.

I owned maybe seven different versions of the Dillon machines. Loved the little RL450 Jr. Probably had six of those. Sorry I ever sold them. The only two I have no experience with are the 1050 (I did have a 1000) and the 650. I certainly preferred these to either the Hornady or Lee.

The best machine, however, I think is the RCBS 2000 with their strip primer system. Excellent machine!
