I reload 10,000 + shotgun shells a year and have decided it's time to start loading .45. I have 2 Mec 9000G progressive loaders for shotgun and I'm a little leary about getting anything but progressive for .45. The Dillon 650 is more than I want to spend right now but I'm not sure if I'll be happy with the square deal. What are the issues with the Square Deal? I've been told that even changing calibers is a real pain. If I only load .45 will I be happy with it?
I've also been told to look at the RCBS 2000 even though it doesn't auto-index. What can I expect from this machine.
Or...should I just wait and get the 650 in a few months. I shoot 100-200 .243s a year so I guess I could load them as well but it's not a big issue.
Additionally, what should I expect to pay per thousand for cast bullets? And which bullets seem to feed the most consistantly?
Thanks.
