Dillion Reloading Press?

Radd4,
No I just went and looked at One. Wife wont let go of the check book, yet. Used the "WHATS IN FOR ME" phrase, at least three times, so got to come up with new OP Order, to complete mission.

Also still have to sell that GP Small tent.

If your going to be around this evening give me a call.

Well, you could tell the wife that when you disappear into the reloading room to play with your new toys that she can have the remote control for the tv...that may help.
 
Yep...worth a try for sure....kinda like asking the prom queen for a dance....never can out guess what the answer will be.
 
This is not a slam on Dillon. I own an RL550. Whether it's the machine for you or not is dependant on what you intend your finished product to accomplish. My Dillon is relegated to decapping duty now, since it didn't produce ammo that gave the results I wanted.

I shoot a lot of pdogs at fairly long range. I could not produce ammo on the Dillon, even using Redding Competition dies, that didn't result in approximately 20% of my rounds having more bullet runout than I like. There is just too much "give" in the shellplate and toolhead itself to consistently obtain less than .001" runout. Also, my favorite powder, Varget, didn't meter through the Dillon measure worth a flip. I didn't want to change powder. So, I used the Dillon as a single-stage press for a long time, till I said the heck with it and bought a RockChucker.

I can still load 200 rounds an hour on the RCBS (good enough, even at pdog volumes), and the quality of the rounds is substantially improved.

Like I said, I have nothing against the Dillon, it's a fine tool for some things. It just isn't the best tool for my needs.....sure looks good on the bench, though. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
