Retirements are making it hard to staff. You can't hire someone with reloading knowledge. It takes time. Being nice to them does wonders.

Try watching GunBlue's videos on the press.
The timing and alignment are easy to adjust.
The press cannot be slammed as hard and as fast as you can go. Figure 400 per hour. A primer cup on a...

Modern firearms use steel, aluminum, and plastic routinely. Cast iron presses are not made of gun materials. Dillon has never used cast iron to make their presses. Dillon abandoned their 650...

The manufactures are selling completed cartridges to the 6-10 million " new gun owners " that are shooting (100)+ each month. So they don't have any reason to make for the reloading community. The...

I have the Dillon (3) poise beam scale. I prefer (3) over the industry standard of (2).
I have never had an issue.
Western powders has load data for 230 grain 38 special & 357.
Penn bullets also has data.

I like a Lyman M die for cast boolits.
I also like the Lee FCD.

I prefer the (3) poise Dillon scale over the (2) poise of the others.
I would not say it is better. I just like using (3) to check the weight. It makes logical sense.

The Dillon uses (3) poise to set the weight. Redding, Hornady, Lyman & RCBS current models use a (2) poise method.
You can watch videos on them all. For me, the (3) poise is just easier to...

I prefer a (3) poise scale over a (2) poise of any brand. Just a preference. It is not better because of this alone.
This left Dillon as the only option that is new to me. Buying a used one off...

Redding is the best if the model you have matches your powder choice.
