How much do you want to spend?

I'd look at the dillons, if you want to go cheap the square deal, the 550B otherwise.

Dillon 550B is what I use. I love it. You can call them, they do not care if it is second hand they will still assist with any and all problems.

I can probably save you some money. PM me a list of what you want and I'll give you a quote.

I'd go with a Dillon 550B... Easiest press to change setups, and even though I'm not very fast (and never plan to be very fast) I can crank out 300 or so rounds in one sitting (less than an hour).

ive been looking at dillions , but i have never actually seen one in use ... most of my friends and family use either rcbs or lee and i was one of only a few that went to progressive . on a side note i did manage to find my die sets so i can look at a really nice loader. ;)

as far as buying i will defintly wait til after the holidays as i know my dad loved loading as much as me . so we used that time to hang out at his place alot .

have see how much insurance paid me for it too then add some money mabey

Check this youtube video on reloading 200 rounds in 30 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZuaihzGiSU

Also, this same guy has a 4 part series on setting up a Dillon 550:
