Thanks! I will take a look at the Lee and I will be sure to pick up some of those books. I have heard Dillon presses are supposed to be high quality as well. Has anyone used one of those?
Dillons are what the guys are calling the "Blue Press" and yes, they are the probably the best a home loader can buy but they do have a higher initial setup cost than other presses.
It seems like one thing you can take from everyone who commented here is that: A) You are going to buy a press and after using said press you will B) buy a better press.
It happened to me. I went with a Lyman turret and quickly outgrew its capabilities. Now I have the Hornady LNL and AP. I wouldn't trade the AP for a blue machine. I can crank out 600 rounds an hour (for one hour only, because it gets tiring and monotonous) without the bullet or case feeders.

Tell me what you like about the AP over the Dillons.

I think the Lee Turret press is just fine for most people. It's a very flexible platform to use with pistol and rifle. Fairly inexpensive to add more turrets. Parts are inexpensive. And it works.
I would probably be interested in your press. How much are you asking and what all do you have with it?
