I am needing to buy equipment to reload for my .300 whisper suppressed AR-15 that is waiting to clear ATF. I am looking to buy a dillon progressive, but not sure what model to buy as well as auto case trimmer, etc, etc. I would like it to be the most tools to reload for this round. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dillon 550 works nice. As previously discussed, "throwing powder" does not seem to be the best way for charging subs.

so loading powder individualy for each one works better? I have a rockchucker press right know with an rcbs auto trickler. If this is the case then can I mount an auto trimmer such as the 1200b on it, or would I be better off getting the dillon press?

I use my 550 for .223 & .308. I load my whisper one at a time on the rock chucker and use a digital scale and redding trickler to get my subs where I want them. The dillon will be fine, just don't expect every subsonic round to be subsonic and accurate. With such a small charge weight, extra care MUST be given.

If you want a progressive press, GO FOR IT!!! I've had my hornady LNL for about 6 years and really like it. I use it to load 45's and 9's. I got the dillon just for rifles.
