Dillion presses

[bbqncigars]

I used to drink the blue koolaid until the 550B ate too many of my precious 25-20 brass, despite many calls to tech support. Now I use a LNL AP and the CoAx I started with 45 years ago. The Dillon is great for almost every reloader, but it has its limits. The hardcore Dillon fanboys just haven't dealt with those yet.

My current press line up consist of a Redding T7, Forster Coax, Dillon Square deal and 550B. Every tool has its place.

Now that the press debate is going..lets talk about how pair of dial calipers you have on the bench. My favorites say Starrett and they are all made in the USA

Right on! My 550b is on the floor and I'm off the phone to the tech line.

My analogs are Starrett and the digitals are Mitutoyo. Same for the micrometers.

Blue Nation, baby! Minus my Lyman Orange Crusher and Lyman, Lee and RCBS dies and molds.

A few samples from Hornadia!!!! Actually from Dad's and GranDad's tool boxes seen in the background!

BTW - my replacement rotor for the powder drop arrived and it's like a cylinder for a classic 302

Those are some mighty fine instruments you got there.

Did you try aligning the shell plate holder (plate on top of the ram) with the tool head? Powder measure adapter goes in station #1, and Alignment Pin drops through PM adapter to fit freely in primer hole. This alignment step solves several problems.
