Default Re: Should I move on to a turret or progressive press?
I have a Dillon 550 and couldn't be happier. When I am loading serious same hole rounds for my R700 I am using my RCBS Chargemaster to dispense my charges as the powder dumper on the Dillon isn't the best for some of the powders I use. That and I do clean the primer pockets and everything else in efforts to make each load identical.

When reloading 45 acp on my Dillon I found that the powder dispenser LOVES Titegroup. It throws very accurate charges less than .1 of a grain off. I load about 150rds every 20mins with it when I have brass already polished and ready to load. I do not clean my primer pockets while loading these rounds and to be perfectly honest, switching from WWB any other over the counter rounds to my reloads, my accuracy instantly went up. I am still a pretty bad pistol shot at 25yds, but lately I have been a hell of a lot better. I am loading 200gr SWCs with a min powder charge of Titegroup with excellent results.

You couldn't pay me enough to use another press. My little system I got going with my Dillon 550 is very fast, accurate, and an overall smooth process.
