Suggestions on a progressive reloader

[Zebadiah]

I bought the first, used RL300 for $189 that I ever saw then a like new in the box RL450 at a gun show for $250 many years later. I loaded everything on those two.

Dillon is indeed the very embodiment of outstanding customer service. Thanks for your reply.

My preferences are Dillon for a progressive press to hand load pistol ammo and a single-stage Forster Co-Ax press to hand load rifle ammo.

A very old picture of my bench!

I do 223 & 308 on my 550 too. I can make sub Moa ammo in both with good dies.

Dillon 650 for me. Had a LNL and got fed up real quick with all the constant tinkering it needed.

My Dillon just got it's 4th 10k service and has had zero issues. 4 complete tool heads set up for different calibers so far, more to come.

I love the fact that I can just feed in components and super high quality ammunition comes out at a very respectable rate; 9mm 1k rounds 3 hours, .223 1k rounds 3.5 hours.

I visually inspect every single case for powder before I seat a bullet, which is very easy to do on a Dillon 650.

My wife, kids, and I shoot a LOT so it is very easy to justify. When I was doing all my loading on a single stage, it would be 4 hours every evening during the week just for one day shooting on the weekend.

My opinion: Go Dillon and don't look back

I alSo visually check each powder charge & you can easily double that out put with any pistol caliber. 600rds per hour, including filling primer tubes, easily done. I rarely load more than an hour at a time though.
