I would have loved to purchase a Dillon machine, but for what I paid for the Lee progressive it can't be beat, mine was $179 + shipping from Lee. I was able to buy the press, 4 tool heads and 3 shell plates along with the dies to do 9mm, .357sig, 40s&w and .45acp and even built the bench it is bolted to for about the same cost of just the dillion press by itself. I can make ammo that is just as good as the Dillon can and it is darn near as fast. You gotta pay a heavy entry fee to load with blue. My plan was to save the cash on the front end and then if I ever do wear out the Lee press, I can afford another one.
