I think they are!!! I have several friends with various platforms and I will take the Dillon for more $$$ every time! Once the Dillon is adjusted properly it just cranks out the rounds....Many of my friends have to tinker around way to often for me.Dillion's are nice, no doubt, but they aren't nice enough to justify the cost.
I actually had the dillon. I picked up the lee to reload away from home. I think I have been able to make 50 rounds since Christmas. First the primers weren't feeding good. Got that working. Now last night I went to make some ammo, after about 10 rounds the charge started to get progressively less. I don't have a lot of spare time, so when I do have time to reload I don't want to spend it tinkering with the damn machine. Even though my dillon was 4-5 times the price I think its worth it. With the dillon when its time to reload I step up pull the handle and presto , I have ammo. No fuss no muss.I think he's saying that he just bought a Dillon and realizes how crappy the Lee Pro was...
I'll take the Lee pro off your hands cheap instead of smashing it
To each his own, that's why we have choices. 5 minutes of resetting/tightening/cleaning every 5000 or so rounds is hardly worth $500 to me, to other people, not so.I think they are!!!

I agree with you if you do not reload much you can get by a more affordable one. Some people that are mechanically oriented have anything running like clock works.Only problem I have with my Lee P1000 is when I let the primer level get too low. Dillion's are nice, no doubt, but they aren't nice enough to justify the cost.
I'm not familiar with that model number; what's a Dillon 850?...For high volume you cannot beat the dillon 850...
I suppose what you mean by high volume. For rifle, having the ability to swage primer pockets is a definite advantage. A guy I shoot with bought a 1050 because he got a great price on it, how ever, just to change caliber cost more than a 550I agree with you if you do not reload much you can get by a more affordable one. Some people that are mechanically oriented have anything running like clock works.
For high volume you cannot beat the dillon 850. I use 3 presses hornday progressive too for rifle and it pays off if you have enough volume.
The x1 fired prep in rifle is more work than reloading.
It is. Make me an offer.If the pro 1000 is set up for 9mm i might be interested in it![]()
Yup, they will all get the job done! Ford Vs Chevy on the ride!To each his own, that's why we have choices. 5 minutes of resetting/tightening/cleaning every 5000 or so rounds is hardly worth $500 to me, to other people, not so.
PMd with a couple questions.It is. Make me an offer.
