What I am looking for is “home machine loader” device, that will take a cartridge with a primer, put an exact amount of powder in it, insert the bullet and give it a quality crimp.

Not really for the serious reloader, but for the home amateur reloader. Maybe battery powered as well, so it could be used in the field.

Dillon Precision is the way to go, but there's no reason for you to use primed brass. I never had a bad cartridge (after having adjusted the dies properly) reload in probably several hundred thousands rounds loaded over the years. Excellent consistency too. I had an RL-550 and it was great! Very easy to change calibers without having to make any adjustments. There were a couple of times I had issues with parts, once where I admitted I had broken something, a couple of others where I managed to lose things, and a call to D.P. got me replacement parts and spares, fed-ex, next day, at no charge. I've never experienced that level of customer service.

These reloading presses are all mechanical, so no power is needed (unless you buy a case feeder, but those are for SERIOUS reloaders!)

Ditto on the Dillon.
My XL650 has done some serious work over the past 20 years, without fail.

I once ADMITTED to the Dillon rep that I accidentally washed some parts down the drain, and they sent me a bag of spares anyway. Great company. And their M-134D minigun is nothing to sneeze at, either.
