"Dillon 550" Man, am I in lust!
J.D.Cayhill:
I have always sworn by my Rockchucker press and we have had a long and productive relationship. But lately the quantity of ammo and time involved in reloading for CAS made me question our union. :'( So finally I have strayed, I ordered a Dillon 550 with all the extras. After using it yesterday to load 400 rounds all I can say is "Darlin where have you been all my life?"Those 400 rounds flew compaired to a single stage press and were perfect. My lonely Rockchucker now sits on the far corner of my bench for depriming duties. She will not be forgotten, there will still be big bore rifle to be loaded. But for the future as far as can be seen I am now a big blue man instead of big green. ;)

I have used the 550 for 10 years and it is the limit. I do not remember what I did without it. I have used it for Bullseye. IPSC (very short lived, I didn't like it much), and SASS. I have thousands of rounds through it. I most appreciate the manual indexing because of the flexibility and in the event I make a mistake. I can back it up or use the press to prepare brass for BP for instance. What a great machine.
Will Pluggum:
The only reloading I've ever done was 30-30 and .41 mag with the basic lee handloading kit. Man, was that tedious. :P What would it cost for a guy starting from scratch to get set up to reload .357 mag for CAS ? I'm talking a progressive loader and keeping costs to a minimum investment.
