If no to the progressive, go with the Dillon 550, its a little more forgiving than the 650 for a new reloader.
I would suggest you get a couple of reloading manuals and read all you can. A good one I have is the ABC's of reloading
Have you loaded ammunition before?
If not, starting out on a full progressive may not be the best idea.
If so, then Dillon. And get a calendar.
I agree that if you have not reloaded before, get a single stage press and learn the ropes. You can accumulate the equipment you need ancillary to the press and still use it when you upgrade to another press. Then after you gain experience and learn, you can move up. A Dillon 550 being a “manual” progressive press would make a great upgrade. I’m sure many on this forum would agree.Looking to get a progressive press dillon horandy ?? Any suggestions
A Dillon 550 is a fine press to start out on regardless if you have loaded before or not. Being able to manually index you can treat it as a single stage if you aren't confident in your abilities. If you aren't confident, read a little more. Simple. If you follow the recommended load data and reloading procedure you will have no problems.

Trevor, it's the OP's first post here, and I am assuming nobody knows anything about the person.
I like to lay simple, conservative groundwork until somebody proves they know which end the bullets come from.
Awesome info
