Lee Load master and I can't say that I will buy another Lee. Warranty is good, but the priming system is just crap. Got it as I was on a tight budget but when the opportunity rises, I will be getting a Dillon.
 
I have two 550's. One is set up for 9mm & 40S&W complete with separate heads, casefeeder/strongmount/roller handle & bullet tray. The other is set up for .223 (AR) on a strongmount.
All loading for my .308 & .223 bolt guns is done on the Rockchucker.
 
Since buying the Dillon XL-650 with electric casefeeder, the Lee Pro 1000 has been retired from service. I'm loading 9mm.

I'm 100% certain I made the right choice.
Priming system is great.

All the time I used to spend pulling bullets with no primer is range time now.
 
My first progressive was a Hornady Pro-jector. I thought it was great, but felt held back my the flaky primer system and the non-cotter pinned primer pick up tubes. I didn't love the automatic powder system, as it was prone to fail.

When I bought my first AR-15, I realized I needed to be able to deal with crimped primers. I bite the bullet and skipped the Dillon 650, instead moving up to the 1050.
 
had a Dillon 550, it was pretty good. I got a deal on a RCBS 2000 and ran both for a while to compare. The RCBS is better than the 550 in every way except the quality of the casting prep-sanding before painting.

I kept the RCBS 2000 and sold the Dillon 550.

I use a LnL projector. I had minor issues with primer feed, i now place a rod on top of the primers in the tube to put a bit of weight on them, and marked it to show the primer level. No issues since. I've never had the powder drop fail, i'm not sure how it could. I added the case feeder, find it pretty good, it did speed me up. I need to get the up graded eject system, the origiinal one was crap, jammed all the time, especially on 9mm.
