Reloading Help

[RHall]

I need a new loading press cause I shoot faster than I can reload, Iam currently using a Lee Turret. Iam thinking of a Dillion Square Deal or the 650 for the case feeding option , is it handy and reliable and make a big difference on the rate of loading. And as far as the priming stage on the dillion, is it reliable and easy as well? And how good is the auto indexing on the dillions, I disconnected it on my Lee cause it was a pain. Iam basicly trying to decide bettween the the square deal or just getting the 650. As well Iam going to keep the Lee for rifle and use the dillion for 40sw only. Thanks for any input.

Get the 650, you will be miles ahead in the end. I don't find the SD any quicker then a Lee Turret press, IMHO. - dan

Thats kinda what I was worried about, buying a SD and not really gaining.

I will NEVER buy an SDB. Period!
Go for 650.

650 for sure. I have a SBD, 550, and 650. the 550 is a great introductory press, but the 650 is a serious reloading machien, and IMO a better deal for the money than the 1050.

another vote for the 650. the 550 is nice especially with the case feeder but the 650 with the auto indexing is definately a whole lot faster. i also like the primer feed on the 650 better then the 550. good options to have is the primer shaker, either dillons or frankfurt (if you can find a way to get it into canada) and i am told the KISS bullet feeder. about the only other thing i would suggest is the round roller handle. i don't like the triangle one.
