Well I am now the proud owner of a Dillon 1050, currently set up for 9 mm.    Later I'll be setting up for 10 mm, 5.56, and 300BLK (sub and supers).
Of course now primers, and to a lessor extent powders, are unicorns. 

I plan on going VERY slowly at first.   I understand the wisdom of a single stage as a first reloading press but I knew I'd end up with a 1050 eventually and figured that if I am restrained and stern with my self to not try to run before I can crawl I should be alright.    I like my eyes, fingers, ect so I'll be playing it slow and conservative for the first few hundred rounds.


To be honest I'm also worried that as the founder died a few years back that someday the legendary quality could start to slip, so better a machine made now than roll the dice in 4-5 years.

MY lovely wife has suggested getting me a Mr. Bullet feeder for Christmas.....I am a fortunate man.

When I get farther down the rabbit hole I'm thinking about a Corbin bullet swager.

Just go very slow and pay attention to each station per stroke and you shouldn't have an issue at all. It is just easier to mess up a bunch of stuff at once on a progressive reloader over the single stage type.

You can still grab a single stage as well, and if you are like most you will do so. Just to load low volume high precision rounds.
