I thought about getting started. Looked into a NRA course. I shoot .38 .45 and 9mm. Would love to get into a nice reloading rig, just don't know enough about it yet.

Start small and simple - single stage even - and build from there. Once you get into it (and hooked) you'll never look back

I have a Lee single stage because I enjoy the process of reloading.

I have a loaded Dillon XL650, only problem with the Dillon is that it is so fast that I can't afford to keep feeding it.

Dillon Warranty and Support are first rate.
Examples:
1) I wasn't happy with the powder measure operation so I called Dillon and was told to adjust the failsafe rod much tighter than the instructions stated and the advice was great.

2) I did a partial disassembly to remove a misformed primer from under the shell plate and lost a spring in the process. Dillon walked me through the process and sent me 3 springs to replace the one I lost.
No questions, no nothing except "we'll send it right out" and I got the springs 2 days later.

The Lee is nice, Simplicity and value in a package that allows me to load a few hundred 9mm a week.

The Dillon is simply superb, loading a thousand rounds of .45acp takes about an hour and a half.
One thing I really like about the Dillon is the powder charge sensor, it will beep if you have an under or over charge.

I've had no problems with either press and I check operation of all components including sensors at the start of each reloading session.

+1 on the Dillon warranty. I have a used Square Deal B. Sent it in as it was worn out ( as in 10's of thousands of rounds run through it) and they rebuilt it for $30 including shipping. New dies, all moving parts, the works. Handle broke 6 months later and a a free new one in 3 days.

Sending it in for rebuild they said if I had said nothing about me being the third owner it would have been free. Sorry but at least I'm honest!
