If you were starting from scratch, and money was no object - what reloading system would you go with and why?
I’d ideally want a self supporting rig, or have it mounted to a stand, as I don’t have a workbench.For high volume shooting, Dillon all the way. You said money is no object, but how about bench space? If that is no problem, then one of the upper tier models with case and bullet feeders would be a good move. If high production rate is not a concern, or if space is limited, a Redding T-7 turret press is a fine option. The best single stage for normal sized cartridges is the Foster Bonanza Co-Ax. Of course, there is the Area 419 and a similar German press in the $1K+ range, but other than beauty and bragging rights, I doubt they are any better at producing ammo, YMMV. Then there are semi- commercial automated set ups to be had, but that's a whole 'nuther animal. I use a Dillon 550, the Redding T-7 and the F/B Co-Ax.
This may be problematic for any progressive press. A single stage or turret press can be used where space is limited, but any press would benefit from a sturdy bench. There have been a few threads addressing this. One of the more recent ones is here:I’d ideally want a self supporting rig, or have it mounted to a stand, as I don’t have a workbench.
