Drain Smith must have stock in Hornady!

Honestly, Hornady was the least problems next to Dillon.
It's WAY too expensive for casual reloaders, but Dillon Super 1050 is the least issues of the presses I've used. It has 'Issues', but it works longer & harder than any progressive I've tried so far.
Less glitches than a Camdex even... Which start about $34,000 and go up from there.
I know you can't put a manual Dillon & factory driven Camdex in the same category, just an example of how the presses stack up on problems/parts.

For around $600 the Dillon XL650 makes most people crazy happy, small complaints & reliable production.
I have die hard Hornady fan friends, but they don't complain about the Dillons, so I'm good with that.
Someone will make a straight line press for smaller volume someday (one that works), and I'll try that one for sure.
Straight line let's you get to/monitor everything easier, (like Camdex) but the two or three small scale commercial tries failed. Someone will try it again, and I'm in when they do.

Good luck with your press & loading!
