Dillon 550b Speed test - Loading 50 rounds 5.56....

[1023EMT]

great video. I've had my 550B since 1994, still going strong! Can't even think of a part I've replaced except the tips on the primer magazine. I disassemble mine once a year, clean it and lube it. Other than that its original since 1994. I've probably loaded 25,000 rounds or maybe even more. good luck

my buddy was in a hurry once he accidentally loaded a round with a double charge blew up his gun

[52oggie]

pistol or rifle rounds? for rifle rounds not bad,

nice vid keep having fun

[ebrak47]

Speed is fine. Accuracy if final.

[TheCromeShop]

@ebrak47 yep - very true. One more reason I love the dillon press and powder dump. I check 1-2 every 50 and its never off more that +- 0.1 gr. thanks for the comment

[josephd27]

how long do you think you could of kept doing that for. but that was pretty fast i must say sir. nice video

[TheCromeShop]

@josephd27 I have done it for a couple hours at a time. What holds me up is I can only prep 50 rounds at a time. I need more trays. Only takes 1 min for the lube to dry and be ready so its not that bad.

[josephd27]

@TheCromeShop very impressive man. i hope the trays are not that expensive

[TheCromeShop]

@josephd27 no they are not, just something I never think about when ordering supplies.

[josephd27]

@TheCromeShop how much does one of those dillon setups go for

[TheCromeShop]

@josephd27 the press is around 425 with no dies on the dillon site. I got mine in a group buy for 365 shipped. The prices of dillon keeps going up. Used ones sell for damn near the same price as a new one.

[josephd27]

@TheCromeShop wow how much is a die set

[sdt11670]

@TheCromeShop You got the press with conversion kit for 365? or did you have to buy the conversion separately?

[YokoWenis]

How do you think the 550B compares to the 650XL? Is it worth the extra money for the 650?

[TheCromeShop]

@YokoWenis Honestly I dont know, I have never used the 650 myself. Back when I was reading about the dillon products I remember thinking all the 650 needed was a motor to run it automatically. It is a nice loader, but as you can see the 550 is quick to use. I can do even more 9mm in 5 min, they dont require lube and I can just grab them and go. No stopping to lube and set up 50 more. When I run out of primers, I fill the loader with 100 and fill the primer tube with another 100 for a fast reload

[9bymyside]

i NEED to get one of those!!

[TheCromeShop]

@9bymyside swing by and try it out!!

[TheCromeShop]

@theArmedJanitor I may can do that - things i learned along the way, how to save a buck and not get screwed buying the wrong things.

[jamoore3192]

Lol! Great soundtrack! Looks like your stopwatch might be a lil fast though!

[TheCromeShop]

@jamoore3192 lol!! toe tapp'n

[23mrcowboys]

[thestubby0032]

You go minute man!!! Your wife must be proud, lol!!!!!!! Nice job nigga

[TheCromeShop]

@thestubby0032 5 min loading puts a smile on my face, 5 min poking puts a smile on my face too!!

[johniac7078]

hey man nice vid. can you do a vid on what you need to get started with the dillon? thanks

[ixVENGEFULxi]

right on i have been looking at these for awhile and plan on getting into reloading here in a few months

[MadBadVoodo]

Thumbs Up my Friend!!

[RLN1972]

It more like 5:06!! cool vid bro!!!

[OilTheGun]

Nice. I really need to get into reloading.

[Eslamizar]

It's like playing the slot machine lol a slot machine that spits out rounds hahahah.

[TheCromeShop]

@Eslamizar Jack Pot!!

[thebudgetarmory1]

Dude, you rocked those rounds! I guess I'll have to remain old fashioned and slow. LOL!

[TheCromeShop]

@thebudgetarmory1 Thanks bud!! nothing wrong with old fashion at all - I have a happy trigger finger as you will see in some up coming videos. Going to shoot some tomorrow, got to get back out in the man cave loading - 3k to go!!

[TheCromeShop]

@thebudgetarmory1 Do a reply - just for others to see another side of loading. Just an idea

[pandmonium2k7]

Cool reloader, from what I have heard it just isnt cheaper to reload 9mm over here, I need to look into it I think.

[fatboyR6]

Another awesome video outta "The Crome Shop"!!!! Be cool to see some video responses...

[TheCromeShop]

@fatboyR6 yeah, I like response vids - I hope others post up what they have to this or make a response.

[Lookinformemarbles]

nice job man! hope you get a lot of responses!!!

[TheCromeShop]

@Lookinformemarbles I do too.. thanks for swinging through and checking it out. The other vid I have up shows how I bolted it down and cost of components. Have a great day!!

[unomas58]

That is a awesome setup and very fast.I've started pricing some of the equipment that you run.Is it the RL550 B.I noticed one has a caliber conversion kit and one does not.Just curious.

[TheCromeShop]

@unomas58 Yep thats the one. I got mine set up with 223 shell plate. I did buy an additional tool head, and shell plate for 9mm. I haven't bought another powder dump. I just swap the stuff around when I need to. I am using RCBS 223 dies (no crimp die) and Dillon 9mm dies.. Their dies are expensive but like most companies they have a no BS warranty. I have used that a few times for parts I broke.. RCBS sends me free decapping rods/pins.. I break one every time I get a stuck case.. Lube up lol

[curtispa]

damn thats fast supper man im deff gonan be save $ up to buy alot of stuff to reload when we move outta town

[TheCromeShop]

@curtispa it is expensive to get set up - but its all down hill from there, let the savings begin!! Cost with out brass is less than 3 bucks per 20 rounds of 55gr 223/5.56.
