When did you start reloading ?

The first load I assembled was 9/26/2014, but I started a bit earlier preparing and collecting components and equipment.

Ya gotta love results like that!

 

[LightninST]

oooh thanks!

I guess a Dillion is the next step to my addiction!

hard truth, what model should I get?

Dillon 550 is the most versatile for the money .

 

[LightninST]

Another noob here! Never loaded a round yet, waiting on supply’s to start to show up again. Like a few others I have been piecing together all the tools. (Redding case trimmer should be here tomorrow) doing some reading in the load manuals and here!

Better late than never , what cartridges will you be loading ? Better days are coming or so they say

I don't have experience with any of them, but I'm dreaming about a 750 or an 1100 right now. CP 2000 and a couple of autodrives...

I’m going to get one because everyone has one! 550 it is?

I don't think I'd be disappointed with any of them, but watching a few YouTube videos has me jealous of everyone with an 1100 on their bench.

I already have 3 press on my bench! the 550C looks cool and only $500-ish

it just seams like all the cool guy reloaders use Dillion

Honestly, I'm just looking at what gun I need next and thinking that instead of buying yet another 1911, maybe I should skip the next one and go with an upgraded reloading set up.

Same!!! I was thinking, I have so many guns and a Dillion is $500, just for the bragging rights alone! LET DO IT!

 

[SnowBlaZeR2]

Lol, well I'm looking at something like $7k all in.

Better make it two 1911s.

NICE! for the 1911 or the Press?

 

[SnowBlaZeR2]

Press. I've been loading on a single stage then a turret for just over a decade.

Next logical choice is fully automated case prep and loading, right?

When did I start reloading?

Way too late in life , 2014 according to my records.

But I do enjoy it!

Thanks! It was only at 5 yards, but all of them made it to the target.

so far I got dies for 6.5CM,30-30,9mm,and 40S&W. My local pawn shop/gun store had a really good deal I couldn’t pass up. The 9and 40 dies and a Hornady classic press for $200. I have a bunch of more calibers to reload for but I got my hunting and carry rounds for now.

550 vs. 750 I know one auto index

any different, price is similar

I personally am not a auto index fan . I like the manual indexing 550 works great for me .
I have never been one of the “ I can load ( x amount ) in a hour guys “
I enjoy loading them right not fast . Plus I like to have a tool head for each caliber /bullet .
