True, but he specifically said he plans to load several different cartridges.

If I were starting over again, within the OP's requirements I'd go straight to a Dillon 550 without messing around with other presses or equipment. As mentioned above, get all the tool heads and conversion kits for the different cartridges you'll load.
For me, that 1,000 rounds is a little over 2 hours work, and not a very big deal to do.

I recommend the 550 over the 650/750 because of easier swaps to different cartridges. There are a few things, like cartridge swaps and dealing with hiccups, where the 550 is better than the 650. But if a guy wants high volume and can pay for it, just go straight to the 1050.


Good answer, that is what I do
You can save a lot of money by using Lee dies and powder measures in Dillon heads, I actually prefer them in a lot of cases
