BUY DILLON,

I have the Hornady Lock-n-load. It is ok now that I have got it working. BUT, I have had to actually PAY for replacement parts that broke without my help. The priming system "only" messed up about 300-400 rounds. I finally figured out that chrome plated primers had less drag and their exlussive use generally solved the problem.

If you like paying for replacement parts and like spending hours fixing, fooling and tinkering with your press, get the Hornady. If you want to reload by Dillon.

I should have kept my mouth shut and given you a great deal on a Hornady so I could replace it with a Dillon. Unfortuantly for me I have to many calibre set ups for the press.
