Can't go wrong with being blue, though, I have a green press as well.

Aw crap. I just about decided to go for a single stage for my first press, and here I read this.

Looking into the D agin

For a first press i would go with a lee turret. Remove the spiral bar and use it as a single.
Much more convenient.

Shhhhhhh....not so loud, stilly will hear you!

Why Dillon?

I started with a Lee single stage and I used it for close to 5 years. I use to swear that I would stick with Lee products forever because they were good enough for me.

I have drank of the Blue Kool-Aid and I'm a Dillon fan boy now. I wish I'd bought it 4 years ago

I'm gonna call them and tell them my 1050 cracked in half... Now if they send me a whole new 1050....

I have a LnL myself, but the day I get fed up with it, which I was pretty close to at one point, I'm definitely getting myself a 650, maybe even 1050. Hornady has great CS also, maybe not on the level as Dillon, but they've always fixed me up.

I used a lee press for over 20 years, then finally got a dose of the blue-koolaid when I joined up with some buddies for a reloading collective of sorts.
Now I'm blue all the way.

I got one of these a while ago for my little 550... great for two hand large batch operations (since I don't have a case feeder), stuff like push-through sizing, decapping, making 300blk, etc.

Installed this thing last Saturday. Came from a LNL with case feeder. So far I am speechless. It works!!!

Seriously though, loaded 100 .308 and and primed 200 .223 cases. Case feeder and priming system was 100%. I am not used to this!

Great customer service. Just about the only two companies I use for reloading is Dillon and RCBS. Never had an issue with Dillon and usually get more than I need as you have there and with RCBS I have now twice bought things and needed small parts and when I contact RCBS to order them they ship them to me completely free of charge knowing that the parts were either missing or broken due to my negligence. Both awesome companies.

This cool aid was a gift from my wife. It was a total surprise. She asked the son-in-law for advise. Good teamwork.

put it this way my 650 is 20 some years old and I can sell it for double what i paid for it so basically its an investment.

I bought an aftermarket part that has a roller bearing on it and the plate is longer so the slide does not tilt backwards when fully extended contributing to the sticking.

I don't think that link goes where you want it to. My Dillon doesn't use a TV remote.
