The first step is genuinely assessing the loading rate you need - lots of guys spend too much for too much press chasing numbers.

Dillon offers great products, but you don't need one for 200 rounds per hour. Unless you commit to powder measures and tool heads for most of your cartridges a lot of Dillon's advantages are lost. Double the volume to 400 rounds, spend the money on tools heads and powder measures, and a Dillon 550 starts to make sense. Beyond 400 and the Dillon 650 comes into play.

If 200 is the goal, I would strongly consider a turret press.


Forgive me my nonsense, as I also forgive the nonsense of those that think they talk sense.
