CAluvdubya: DH even heard one of the salesmen at his favorite gun shop tell a customer that Dillon Press is waay behind on orders. Anyone just now planning to learn to reload isn't going to get their equipment from Dillon any time soon.
Don't recall recommending anything just passing along information but, okay.
Dillon's behind in production. Most people think of Dillon for progressive loaders, not single stage.
Therefore, if someone was "planning to learn to reload", they can go ahead and get an RCBS single stage and get started.
And, with 30+ years of experience in reloading, in my opinion that's better anyway, less chance of mistakes (and easier to fix if made). So it's a win-win situation for the person just getting into reloading.
