[Big Smoke]

I started out with a used Dillon 550b, and a used case cleaner and separator. It came with .45acp dies. I slowly added some bells and whistles, and more dies as the need arose, as time went on, and then came across another guy who was selling his Dillon 550b, and I bought his, and then slowly added some bells and whistles. I have a lot more bells and whistles I can add, but I have what works for me, for now, and I don't see a need to add a case feeder at the moment, although I'd probably love it if I did.
But it isn't everyday you find someone selling their Dillon press. Most people, like myself, hold onto them for dear life.
The down side to starting with a progressive press is you get spoiled. I bought a single stage press and tried to do some loads just to check for accuracy, but I just didn't have the patience anymore.
