I've had my Dillon bolted down to a long piece of pre-covered countertop from Lowes Hardware for a few years now. I've loaded many thousands of rounds and it has held up beautifully. When it eventually needed replacing I will just go back to Lowes and get another one.

The company I worked for at the time gave me a stack of Cabella's gift cards, I guess I had been working too much and they felt sorry for me...

Dillon does not offer a bullet feeder, but 3rd party feeders fit the Dillon presses-

I have the RCBS bullet feeder that I got for free..

It took me a long, long time to get it working correctly, but now it's working perfectly for me. I had to add a potentiometer to control the speed, after that it works great.

I would suggest getting this one if you really want a bullet feeder:

I've owned both a 550 and 650. If you want a single press for loading many calibers (including rifle) then get a 550, hands down.

If you are loading pistol only, want faster output, and rarely change calibers then I would suggest the 650.

I load 9mm, .45, and occasionally .223 and use a 650 with a brass and bullet feader. It has its share of required trouble shooting that any machine with many moving parts would have, but overall the 650 works great for me.
