Hey all I'm looking to upgrade my ammo output. Currently loading for 223 and various pistol rounds, looking at either a turret or progressive, dillon is outside of my price range. Any recommendations.

I spent a lot of hours researching and watching YouTube videos with the mindset that Dillon was out of my price range and couldn't justify the cost of the machine. In the end, I watched Facebook groups and on here and ended up buying a used Dillon. I know that doesn't answer your question but I'm so happy with that decision I felt like I should at least point to it as an option. The other brands out there have some following for sure but there are a TON of reviews for fixes and lots of troubleshooting questions out there. I don't have enough patience to be constantly tinkering with a press to make it work.

Personally I have a Lee Classic Turret press and love it! When I get into a rhythms I can crank out several hundred rounds in a relatively short time. I’ve never timed myself but it is definitely a great option to consider and the price is just right!

Can you use RCBS dies?
Great thanks!
I second the Lee Classic Cast Turret Press. I load all my rifle rounds on a single stage but the turret press has loaded several thousand pistol rounds without a single bit of tinkering. If your shooting 5000 rounds a month, go with a Dillon. If your taking a few hundred to the range every weekend, get the Classic Cast Turret.

GaryS has gave you some great advice. When you buy Dillon presses you not only get a great press but you also get fantastic customer service. The warranty applies to new or used. The Square Deal B and the 550 are priced reasonable. I bought my first (SDB) a couple of years ago, traded it in on a 550 last year, then 5 or 6 months later I bought the SDB back. I now have two Dillons and couldn't be happier!!!!
Hey all thanks for the input. I ended up biting the bullet and stepping out of my price range and buying a Dillon XL 650
I bit the bullet and bought a 650 XL with ALL the bells and whistles. Got tired of trying to keep up with 2000+ rounds we shoot a week on a Lee turret (great turret by the way, still love it.)
