I guess ideally, you would have one Quick Change for each caliber, so that your powder set up and dies wouldn't have to be reworked each time. As you know, this can sometimes be the most time-consuming part of the setup.
Hope that helps!

ever one I talk to says dillon is the best in the reloading.

So when you want to change calibers you swap out the tool heads and switch over the caliber conversion along with it and the primer feeder if required. So basically all you have to do is go though the patient process of setting up the dies once on each tool head. I load 9mm, 45acp, and 44mag and it takes me about 5 minutes to switch calibers if I don't have to switch the primer feeder.
