This must be the bi monthly “what press is best” post. I have been loading for a long time I have loaded on or have owned a bunch of different presses. I bought a Dillon 550B when it first came out and am to far down the blue road to change now. All the presses talked about will work some better than others. I am not nesacareley a fan of auto indexing. Yet I have 4 Square deal Bs. I like the new Dillon pistol dies better than the dies that are made for the Square Deal and keep bugging Dillon to upgrade.
One way to get away from the Dillon powder measure is to use adapter they sell and you can use a standard powder measure for stick powder and large capacity cases. One other thing try using powdered Teflon to lube your powder measure slide and the primer slide.
