I am currently using two Dillon 550's. One is set up for large primer, one for small primer. These are great presses and load some seriously consistent ammo. Back in the days when I was financially challenged, I tried Lee, but they make some cheesey equipment.

For shotshell, I use a MEC grabber, which is a great press. I understand that this is about the bottom of the barrel for progressive shotshell presses. I know serious skeet and trap shooters that use Ponsness Warren equipment and are very happy with it. I don't get enought time to shoot more skeet loads than I can reload with the MEC.

I wish that Dillon would make a hydraulic press. I really wish that the tooth fairy would bring me all the ammo that I could shoot and not have to worry about picking up cases, tumbling them, sorting them, Etc, Etc.

Shoot often and safely
