[QUOTE="ASP785, post: 2036139, member: 12170"] For me it came down to features and price. The 550B only has 4 stations. I am a guy who likes to taper crimp my pistol rounds as a separate operation, so I wanted to 5 station capability. The Hornady offers that. The 550B also does not auto index the shell plate like the Hornady. Another feature that I really liked with the Hornady is the L-N-L quick change bushings. It makes caliber changes quick and easy. The last thing I liked about Hornady is its parts availability from multiple vendors. With Dillon, stuff is pretty much only available from Dillon. I picked up my Hornady for $415 and also received 500 free bullets. You could step up to the 650 and get more speed at an increased cost, but I find I can only reload for 2-3 hours at a time, before my attention starts to wane and the speed I can reload the Hornady at, is safe and efficient. If I ever decide I need more speed, I could add the case and bullet feeder to the Hornady. Hornady and Dillon both offer excellent customer service so I rate them equal in that regard. [/QUOTE]
