Reloading in the nude? - Need recommendations

I guess I need to start doing some reloading.
Tried doing the old Lyman handloaders 30 yrs ago and under charged one, the quit after that.
The only thing I'm going to reload will be 45acp, 223, 308 & MAYBE some 50bmg.

I WANT THE EASYIST, SIMPLEIST, MOST AUTOMATED setup, that I can get!
Looking in Natches catalog, saw RCBS, Lyman, Lee & others, was not that impressed! Is Dillon any good?

"Would like to buy a full multi stage kit" with the automatic case trimers, powder dispenser, primer feeder, bullet feeder, all the bells a whistles!

What do you guys use & recommend as being the best as for as ease of use & product support for what I want to do.

Just kid'n about the nude part!
Thanks

    Well check my post reguarding 50BMG loading.

    Dillon is good stuff but very pricey. The best when it comes to progressive reloading.

    For precision rifle, RCBS, Redding, Lee, whatever your budget is.

    Dillon's products are great. I have a 550. It will do abotu any handgun or rifle round, but I don't think they have anything that will do 50BMG. My 550 doesn't quite do all the needs you mentioned, but it's an excellent reloader. They have more comprehensive and expensive models.

    When reloading in the nude - be careful leaning over the single stage press on the upstroke!![:D]

    Keep off the Ridgeline

    I always recommend at least wearing boxers while reloading...

    RCBS Rock Chucker - hasn't failed me yet. I'd like a Dillon to mass-produce .45 ACP and .223 Rem, but won't give up the Rock Chucker for hand-loading.

    I guess it depends on what you purpose of reloading is. IF it is for accuracy, then the single stage is IMO the way to go.

    If it is volume then maybe a multistage.

    volume is the key with me...
    dillon 650 multi stage looks good to me.
    On 50 bmg's I'm now paying $2.10 for 690gr ball loaded in 100 lots & I'm hapy with the accuracy, so I'm going to skip the 50.

    Will use the press for 45acp, 223 & 308 only, but need to make up about 6,000 rds in each caliber per year.
    Is the dillon 650 too much for what I need.

    Still looking for that "Ulitmate Kit" has has EVERYTHING I need in one package. DOnt care about the brands as long as they are still in business & support what they sell!

    Hit me with your recommendations.
    I'm hot to trot!!!

    Call the folks at Dillon. I am sure they can fix you up. The sales staff all seem to know what they are doing. Spend the money and get the good stuff. I don't think they can help with the .50, but you never know. BTW their "no BS warranty" is exactly that, you manage to break anything, they will replace it.

    It ain't what you shoot, it's what you hit.
