[QUOTE="SteveD2, post: 931861, member: 8376"] I have (and love) the LnL AP. Use it for .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 9mm, and .223 Rem. Am soon going to be loading 30-06 and .357mag/.38spl on it as well. Very high quality piece of gear. I looked at the Dillons but decided to go with the LnL...happy I did and would do it again. I have not had a need to "interact" with their customer service dept as I have not had any problems, but as mentioned above, others are happy. Others will jump in now with MY whatever can do (insert larger number here), but I just loaded 225 .45 rounds in about 50 min. without trying to be fast and picking up 200 primers. If I got everything prep'd and just wanted to crank out rounds, I could easily do many more. Powder measure stays right on and is easy to adjust for different rounds/loads (I dial it in, run and dump 10 rounds, check load, start loading and check the 10th and 20th just to make sure...because I'm anal retentive). Takes less than 5 min to get it set, run/dump 10 and check to confirm. Hornady also offers a micronometer insert (for pistol powder) which allows you to immediately reset to a specific charge (you have still have to do the measure, etc., to determine what setting/powder combo will give you a certain charge; but once you've done that once, that same setting/powder combination will always give you the same charge). I don't have one and don't know if I'll spring for one because it works great with the provided insert. Changing dies takes about a minute. Dillon 550 and LnL AP will run you about the same money. 650 will set you back about another $130 ish. 550 is not an AP like the LnL and 650. I can't speak much to other brands, but a friend of mine has a Lee Turret which he's happy with. Make sure to do your own research and compare features with your preferences and budget. That's what I did and I couldn't be happier with mine. [/QUOTE]
