Dillon

Post by rexles »

I finally got my Dillon 550B up and running. I have always used a single stage press and bought an RCBS turrent a couple yrs ago. This Dillon really works great and fast. I bought it on Ebay and it needed a few parts. Dillon sent many of the parts for free. Their no [deleted -- TR] warranty is just that.

Congrats!

As a old timer once told me-You will never save money after you buy your reloading press. You will just go shooting 4 times as much, and insted of taking 100 rds with you, you will take 300!

I'm sure you will be happy with your Dillon.

Pretty much.

At least I shoot more often. I don't usually shoot more than 100-150 rounds a session.

I need to get into reloading. .45ACP is running upwards of $20 a box!
Don't think of it as 'gun control', think of it as 'victim disarmament'. If we make enough laws, we can all be criminals.

You'll save money reloading any caliber, but it seems that with 45ACP you save the most.
