I have reloaded for 20 years although not much in the last few. I always used a single press setup because I was loading for accuracy and low volume so I weighed each charge etc etc. With the price of ammo I want to get a progressive set up and load some handgun ammo. To be honest I am not sure what is out there as far as quality, price and ease of use. I don't need top of the line, but I don't want junk either. I want it to be as simple and automatic as possable, meaning I hope all I have to do is put on cases, place a bullet over the case, then pull the lever. Any suggestions?

I loading all my Bullseye ammo with a Dillon 550 B. It is a really good machine and Dillon has a reputation for standing behind their stuff.

Dillon makes excellent products and stands behind their stuff with good customer service. But don't over look the Hornady LNL. You can get one for a pretty good savings over the equivalent Dillon. It is a well made, reliable press with auto-indexing, fairly quick caliber changes, easy setup and adjustment. Hornady's customer service is also excellent in my experience. Also, they have a promotion going on where you get 1000 free bullets with the purchase of a LNL press. That is worth about $200 right there.
