One other thing you should consider is noise, the hand loader is much louder than a press. Seeing I live in an apartment and work second shift, a press was necessary, can't hand load with a whack a mole at 2am! I learned that fast
Well No, not really, depending.
I use a Lee Loader in .223 using a Sinclair Arbor Press. Its used exactly the same way a set of Wilson dies would be used. And there is no noise involved. However this would not be possible with straight walled pistol cases.
