dillon 450 and 550
« on: January 01, 2003, 06:15:57 PM »
I've had an old single stage press and I'm looking to upgrade, probably to a Dillon, does anyone have any experience with either of these two dillon presses?
Any other suggestions on other manufacturers, I'll be reloading for handgun and rifle, strictly for hunting and plinking.

thanks

The Dillon Sq Deal B is a nice little progressive, though it's limited to pistol cartridges.  I've had one for about 20 years and it's still going strong.

I love my 550.  The only problem I had was I wore out the primer cup spring (not Dillons fault, I just load enough to wear it out!!!!  :eek: ) Dillion sent me new one at no charge  :lol: .  The 550 is also great if you are trying new loads because you can use it like a turret press and load one station at a time.  I load all my handgun ammo on it.  I don't shoot enough rifle to use it.  I still use my Rock chucker for that.  The Dillon customer service has been great.    I have never used another machine so I can't compare.  But then again I never had to use any other!!
