New purchase, SW500-4" any ideas..

[Tom C]

I confess I started with an RCBS Rockchucker 35 yrs. ago, but I graduated to a Dillon 450 when I found I was shooting up ammo faster than I could load it. That 450 was upgraded to a 550 some years ago and it pretty well serves my needs, but for high volume shooting a 650 would be very handy. A .500 isn't a high volume gun for me. My loading needs for it are nicely served with my 550.

be sure to get those nice RCBS 500 dies to go with the rockchucker.

For reloading.
For casting your own bullets.
For double ear plugs.
For gloves with hot loads.
For not shooting indoors or under a metal canopy (hearing).
For how much fun they are to shoot.

Thanks some more guys. I appreciate all the info and tips. Of course now I'm more torn on what direction to go. I really don't have much of a budget right now to purchase anything, unless it was one of those "got everything to reload but need to sell it cheap... " deals.. I'll keep my eyes open, in the mean time, I bought a box of cartridges, now just have to get out and shoot em. Damn snow won't stop here..

Try Ballistic supply. They have 500 ammo for good prices.

Check my website for more .500 info. It's under "The gun culture" and also a long treatise (20+ pages) at the bottom of the "Buy Now" page.
