[QUOTE="Revived, post: 2352147, member: 31505"] This Blue vs. Red thing is overrated… I owned both as well and have no allegiance or brand loyalty to either… nor do I seek the need to make my ego or wallet justify the decision… They’ll both make quality ammo in the right hands and let’s face it - for pistol reloads it just doesn’t matter that much… if you think it does, then you need to work on your shooting and/or reloading skills because it not the machines fault… I just find Dillon to be more in my comfort zone as over the years I’ve learned I can tweak them more to my liking… As far as play in Dillon toolheads – That’s the first thing I replace… there are aftermarket CNC’d toolheads that offer much tighter tolerances than the cast and the ability to shim or correct on the upstroke and set to your needs… I don’t ask any one machine to be my “jack of all trades” because even after measuring and logging all the details – the speed or cost of caliber changes is not as important to me as the time it takes to find that “sweet spot” again for a particular load… If a Hornadillon comes available I’ll probably buy one… until then I’ll run my Frankendillon 650's and 1050's and be happy….
