Personally i have never sat in front of the Hornady outfit but have used 3 different Dillon outfits (1-550 2- 650's) so you know where my opinion will be weighted...but for what its worth, i just watched a shooting broadcast featuring Jerry Miculek being interviewed at his reloading bench & his bench was full loaded with Hornady red paint...I'm pretty sure Jerry doesn't have to buy his loading equipment, endorsements will abound to him but it has to be good stuff for him to use it I would think.
