After reviewing countless posts, stickies and "ABCs of Reloading",
I would like some confirmation on my take on reloading.
Initially, I plan on only reloading match ammo for .223.
The purpose wil be accuracy and precision from 100 to 300yds
in my custom AR (Krieger 26 in SS barrel, 1:9)
Speed and volume are not important at this time.
200 rds per hour is more than enough - I shoot 600 to 800 rds per month.
I plan on investing in quality brass ie Lapua, Norma - since the 10+ reloads cuts the cost down
to less 'reloadable' brass like Lake City and Win and the quality is superb.
My understanding is:
"A turret is a 3 or 4 station press that holds one round
A 550 is a turret that holds 4 rounds
If I want to use my 550 like a turret, I can. If I want a round every stroke of the handle, I can."
So, there is no need to change out dies at each stage on a single stage press, correct?
If this correct, would not the Dillon 550 be the best choice since it offers the future use of incresed production?
Or do the turret press type and single stage presses in general produce better accuracy with superior quality control?
If not, how about 2 or 3 recommendations for my needs other than the Dillon?
TIA
