(from a non-reloader as of yet.)
I was considering reloading myself just a few months ago, but the economy has put a lot of things on hold.
I have "played around" with very small set-ups and large multiple stage set-ups. I felt the multi-stage presses such as the Dillion could load a lot of ammo quickly. You may not have to worry about time though, but that is a consideration. If you are punching paper, speed is king IMHO. But if you want precise reloads for specialized shooting, the hand work is preferable.
With the larger presses, you also get several alarms that will limit "serious" mistakes and thats what I liked the most. Once you start the process and have everything measured out correctly, the process and alarms work to keep you out of the "danger zones." Visual inspections of each load and an occasional measure check are very easy to do and also help build on your quality.
The bad part is price. I was just over $1,200 for a fully set-up Dillion 650 with all the bells and whistles.
Just some thoughts.
Good Luck and please let us know what you decide to do.
