I like the left hand feed of bullets and cases on the Hornady, my right hand never leaves the op handle. Arrow legend: blue is bullet, red is case.
I far prefer the Dillon for that feature, because loading a case and then a bullet with the same hand is much slower than loading one with each hand at the same time. It wouldn't matter so much with a bullet feeder though.
Definitely upgrade that manual powder measure on the Dillon, that old one is kinda lame. (and is really old btw, they've been case activated for at least 20 years or more)
Personally, without rushing I can load at a rate of ~550 rounds per hour on the 550, if we don't count filling primer tubes. ~450 with filling tubes. That's a nice relaxed rythm, just eliminating wasted movement. I can't approach that speed at the same pace on the Hornady unless it has a case or bullet feeder. Can you? Just curious.
