Dillon 550 Case Feeder...Who is using one?

Ford v. Chevy analogy is off due to comparing junk v. junk.
Buy whatever blows your hair back, but do it knowing the Hornady stuff is generally rougher around the edges.
 
I have a LnL AP progressive with case and bullet feeders.

I had a few problems with the press when I first got it.

Hornady sent me everything I needed to get the press running right no questions asked.

Believe me when I say that there were times when I questioned my decision to go with the Hornady but now that the press is running fine I have no problem cranking out 1000+ rounds per sitting.

All I do is blow a bit of compressed air on the shell plate every 200 rounds and keep going.

I have bought some Dillon products and I can say that their quality appears to be very good but I do have friend who have more problems with powder spillage cleanup on the Dillons than I do.

My next press will be a Super 1050 since I shoot between 2000-3000 rounds a month.

Alright, I'll bite. Why would you need a 1050 when you only shoot 3000 rounds a month? There are folks I know that shoot more than 3000 rounds a week that just use a Dillon XL650 with case feeder, and don't mind using up 4 hours of their time to do it.

Edit: And that time includes filling the primer tubes!
