For shotgun I use a Lee load all. Its a single stage and slow but my 4 year old likes to help me so I don't want to buy a new one and leave him out. I use a Dillon square deal for 45 and 9mm. I've been thinking about moving up to a 550 or 650 but can't decide. About how many an hour can you churn out with yours?

The most inexpensive presses are the LEE presses.  Just remember.... you get what you pay for.

I use a Dillion 550 for 9mm, 45acp, 38 special, 357magnum, and 44magnum. 

I use a LEE hand press for 44 colt, and 45 colt.

For Dies I prefer Lyman carbide dies. 

I have had LEE dies but found them to be less than adaquate. >:(

I bought the LEE hand press back when I was loading 43 spanish and 45-70.

If I had it to do over, with the intent to keep price down, I would go with the single stage hornady lock and load press.

Thanks
I like my square deal and you can't beat Dillons warranty service but the SDB will only load handgun. I was thinking of moving upto the 550 so that I could have evrything in one press but I hate to spend the money. A small single stage for the 223 would work, I don't shoot the AR enough to need to crank out 500 rounds in a sitting.

The other fun part of reloading is casting your own bullets.
