I haven't recently investigated, but if it were my money and I had to choose among those right now without checking, Dillon xl650, especially if I planned to accessorize it with things like case feeder, etc.

Hornady Lock N Load Auto-Progressive Reloading Press

I forgot this one...it is priced in the ball park.

"Keep in mind that the Hornady is a true progressive, meaning that it automatically advances the cartridge to the next station with each pull of the handle. This feature helps to eliminate the possibility of a double charge of powder. I believe you need to step up to the Dillon 650 before you get a true progressive press from Dillon."

This one is pretty too....

Progressive means one pull/stroke one step done.....auto indexing does not mean progressive

Believe it or not I'm actually leaning towards the Hornady LNL AP ...cost factor being number one here...

I watched a video of the 550b and it brought back memories of long hours of pushing and loading the bullet at the same time....don't want to do that any more...no I don't....
