Default RE: Progressive Presses

Rammer,

I have had a Dillon 550 for over 10 years and I load pistol and .223
I was skeptical about accuracy on the .223, non AR loading,for a Ruger varmit set-up. Once set properly it was no problem. I also bought the Dillion .223 carbide dies, although costly I really like the outcome. You still have to LUBE your brass!!

As far as loading for pistol, it is very fast. I load for 5 different calibers. The cost starts to build if you get a complete toolhead setup for eadh caliber. You will have to decide if the time spent setting up for different calibers is worth to you. That is why I boughta progressive in the first place. I kept adding through the years, couldn't afford everything at once. It is very nice to just remove 2 pins and slide in a tool head, change your plate and start making rounds.

Their warranty is second to none.
