Here we go again....Dillon!
You said best for the money - Lee. Otherwise, Dillon.
Super 1050
In most cases a Dillon 550 is the best.
Dillon. I use a square deal b. 550 is cheaper to change calibers.

Nothing wrong with the pro 1000

Dillon,all day long. I've been using a RL 550b for over 25 years and the only malfunctions were operator related (my screw ups). Their customer service is the best I've ever seen. I also have lots of experience on RCBS (4x4) and Lee progressives. In my opinion, I'll stick with Dillon.
This thread is going to be like walking into a rock concert and asking what the favorite drug is.

Thomas Jefferson Quotations:
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
Walk into an IDPA or USPSA match and ask. Every poll I've ever seen puts Dillon between 80 and 90 percent.
I'm another happy Dillon owner. I hope to have a Star someday, but thats probably just wishful thinking!
No LNL fans yet.
Dillon. They make a relatively inexpensive press just for pistol. The 450?

Caveat Emptor: Do not trust Cavery Grips/American Gripz/Prestige Grips/Stealth Grips from Clayton, NC. He will rip you off.
You're thinking of the Square Deal. The 450 was very similar to the 550, but it did not have a removable toolhead. I think Dillon quit making the 450 about 1982.
Depends on what you want to do, how fast you want to do it and how much money you have. The best ones I have were all made by Dillon.
+1 to what jmorris said!
There is a huge difference between best and best for the money. Best is without question Dillon, best for the money, you don't want mentioned...
A Camdex or an Ammoload.
