The Dillion put Star out of business, the RL1000 was a great machine for 5.56 ammo.

Keep it clean and lubed and still looks as new.

Star, the original progressive. If I recall, they were around $700 in the 70's and that was steep!

I got mine from Gil Hebred guns mid 70's for $175 with 2 die sets

That's a heck of a price! Look at the retail sheet on http://www.starreloaders.com/ It started at $710.

Due to having precious little time to reload, I have to be as efficient as possible. Therefore:

2 Dillon 650's, one for large primers one for small;
All Dillon dies using taper crimp for all semi-auto calibers & roll crimp for revolver;

• .45ACP; 9mm; 40 S&W; .38 Super; 380ACP; 38 Special; .357Mag. (.44Mag & .41Mag - I think?)

Station 3 is empty but will soon have either a light (LED) or a camera for viewing the powder charge;
LED in the center hole of the tool head that lights the shell plate (coming soon, parts purchased);
2-Dillon RF-100 Primer Fillers (long before they were $325 each!!).

I have other presses that haven't been used in decades.
