Dillon Precision 14261 RL550C 4 Stage Manually Indexed Progressive Reloading Machine

If you have the money just buy it you won't regret anything. There's a reason why people like these. If the 550 is out of your range then there are other options from other manufactures. I love the manual indexing and I added a Hornady collet bullet drop in 45 and 9mm they work great one these. Keep the primer and bullet tubes filled and easily load 400+ per hour. With my T-7 200 per hour was max if nothing went wrong but of course that seldom happened. The T-7 is a really good press the 550 is leaps above it.

At first I was disappointed because the 500 series didn’t come with all the bells and whistles....until I realized the step up was basically buying all the upgrades with one less motion. He explained to me you don’t need or want everything at once navies you may be loading a very specific kind of ammo. I would recco two accessories for this at the top of your add on list. 1. the strong mount raises it up and gives a better motion for lots of ammo. It also attaches to the bench better and gives you room for the accessories. 2. The roll handle will help out your hand and arm if you are doing hundreds or thousands of rounds.

Very nice product shipping was fast in the package came in damaged happy day

Dillon is still the best out there. This one doesn't have an automatic progression, but it doesn't slow you down.

Makes good ammo

I’ve reloaded professionally for over five years using exclusively Dillon machines. Every other brand seams to have taken a single stage setup and attempted to cobble it together. The dillons on the other hand are truly high production machines. Even their dies are made to facilitate high productivity. Between the 550, 650, and 1050 I must have loaded over 1million rounds. When pulling that lever ten hours a day for high volume especially pistol ammo the 1050 is so much smoother the. The other two. But the 550 is the only progressive press I trust to turn out match grade precision rifle ammo. The only downside I found is for a lowly tech like myself is they can be pricey whe. You get into all the accessories and other tool heads. But they are truly plug and play. I’ve swapped toolheads and my powder charges were within 2/100th of a grain and my overall lengths within .0005”. My last bit of advice GET THE STRONG MOUNT, you may want to be lazy and sit down but get off your but get the strong mount and bullet tray. Your back will thank you.
