yal should be ashamed of yourselfs for twisting my arm and holding that gun to my head and making me buy a dillon 550....(story im telling the wife)

I am going to pick it up from Tom with Action Shooter Supply this friday... I bleed green but i am willing to give big blue a chance i guess... lord next thing you know im gonna be a glock fan...

 

[Cliff Cargill]

Good choice!!!

 

[Beladran]

i might be calling some of you blue guys for tips on setting it up

 

[ftsibley]

you will wonder how you survived this long without one.

 

[nonnieselman]

Haha. It should come with instructions.
Ive had mine for 5 years now and its still kickin out some rounds. We just finished another 1000 308s last night.

One thing, make sure you dont tighten down the 2 bolts that hold the primer feed system too tight. I did and the alum bulged and i had to grind it down some so it would stop hanging up.

Good luck!

Can't go wrong with the 550. Might not be the fastest, but it will do A LOT..............

.

 

[Beladran]

hey its faster than my single stage!

 

[SubGunFan]

Sounds like someone is planning (has the stuff) to load a BUTT-LOAD of 38spl ammo....................


.

 

[Beladran]

yes sir only thing holding me back will be setting it all up. i only got 1k small pistol primers right now though

 

[Xd357]

Sweet. You'll love it. Holler at me if you need help.

 

[sidroski]

How will it fit in your man cave, errr, laundry room? JK, seriously congrats.

 

[M1GarandFan]

Congrats on the 550. Sounds like you need to stock up on primers. Check out Natchez Shooters Supply for pricing.

 

[ftsibley]

read the instructions throught once before you start puting it together and then it will go pretty smoothly and quickly.
If you get to wanting an extra toohead and powder measure let me know i have a few extras from when i used to load a bunch of rifle ammo on it. I am only single stage on rifle now. I will let them go for a bit less than dillion does.

 

[SubGunFan]

Beladran, I would check into ftsibley's offer of toolhead and powder measure...........................................................

.

 

[Rbelote]

No joke about the tool heads. Might be a steal. I need help setting my dillon up one day

 

[Beladran]

well one thing after another this weekend.. lubesizer now has issues, and i gotta send it back to the guy and see if he can fix it. second, either my calipers are lying to me or my new 358star die is sizing my boolits to 356. Last, Dillon has the worst freaking instruction manual ever... here is a picture of the press now put it together. I get it 90% together and they sent me the powder parts kit for a RL900 instead of 550 = ( and they got me wrong shell plate :wallbash: its hammers fault for buying the last freaking hornady LNL!!!!

 

[captain-03]

Beladran: Send that Dillion to me and I will get it working for you. May take me a year or so to make sure that everything is working OK (should be about the time I run out of brass and cast boolits) and I will get it back to you!!

You guys and these BLue Machines -- One day - MAYBE!

 

[Beladran]
