Nicely organized bench. I wish I could keep mine that clean. Love the 550 but I just upgraded to a 650 with a bullet feeder. Increased my rounds per hour.

You need 2 more RCBS single stage--Dont ask me why-- you just need them. Looking good. We have the same stuff. Other than 223 I like to load rifle on the RCBS.

Not criticising but just curious;the Dillon mounted so high over the top;is the lever ackward and tiresome to operate or you get used to it without any problem?

I can't speak for usmcchet9296, but I have a Dillon strongmount under my Redding T-7 like that also. I like to stand when I reload.

Use it to check for bullet runout

I also see the required inertia bullet puller in case the level says you need it

That's hoe mine is set up. I'm 5'9" and have no issues with it. I actually like it like that. I usually do 400-600 rounds in a session. Th mounted height doesn't cause me discomfort.
