Glad a decision was made to buy the Dillon 550.
Everyone has different views on which press(es) to buy and use
Have Old Rock Chuckers still work great and loaded a many of rounds
set them up for my version of progressive each press did a different
function, progressives were out of the average reloaders means back
then. Then to Hornady Pro 7's, Projectors, have I think 6 of them, they
still work great, each it's own caliber, then of course Hornady LNL-AP
and a Dillon. They all work, some need more attention than others,
people have problems with brand X but not brand Y, or brand Z works
great.
The questions are which do I want, or which do I need, how much
shooting do I do, which rounds on the progressive(s), do I need
multiple presses to save on loading different rounds or to save
time on converting them over. I let people "pull" the handle on
different presses, do a caliber conversion / setup, and let them
pick which one they want or need. Seems to work rather well.
But hey I'd love to have a Camdex, Ammobot, Mark V but do
I "need" one and that would be a no. Reloading to me is not
a marathon or to set a record, but everyones needs are different
and YMMV....just a thought...and then winter time comes, bad
weather and then reloading sessions start.....
