Hey, I was wondering what made you go with the 550b over say the 650 or the Hornady L&L AP. I've been loading on a single stage Rock Chucker for about a half a year and while it was good to learn on, it takes me way too long to load rounds. I'm currently leaning towards the 550b, but still doing research.
By the way, I introduced myself to you in the Harvard club house before the Nor Easter IDPA shoot. Keep up the great vids, as I said!
@earthshine402 Hey man! Well, price and reputation. The 650 is great too but the 550 seemed a little more versatile and less problematic/complex, but I am not sure. I also like Dillon customer service and the no BS warranty. A lot of guys at Harvard use the Hornandy and have a lot of experience, it is a very good press but I dont know much about it. I will introduce you to a few and you can ask them. take care, we practice on the 1st and 3rd monday of the month at 7:30pm.
Super helpful video for someone new to reloading. Your other videos are fantastic as well. Thanks a million for taking the time to share your knowledge!!!
Great video and thanks for sharing!! I'm saving for my reloading venture and looks like I'll be using the 550b since i have both .40 S&W and .223 rifle.
Seeing is believing & UNDERSTANDING! Thanks. Also, liked your vid sharing range time with your daughter. More girls/women need exposure to fun sports/recreational hobbies such as shooting.
@bulltastik Thanks. You are absolutely right about women. I really think moms are the key. They set the rules about what's allowed for their kids. At my gun club, we have a really big junior archery program, about 120 kids. We start them really young, 6-7 all the way to 18. A lot of mom's wanted NOTHING to do with firearms until they saw the club, what it's all about, and the junior firearms programs. Guess what? A lot of mom's joined WITH their kids and hubbies. cool stuff.
@sicklid72 spot check. however, it did test a bunch for OAL, and there was essentially no change over 30 rounds. the dillon seems to really stay locked down once you get it tweaked. I also spot check every 20 rounds for charge. variation is less that 0.1 grains. thanks for watching man!

Do you measure the overall length of each and every round, or just spot check?

@sicklid72 spot check. however, it did test a bunch for OAL, and there was essentially no change over 30 rounds. the dillon seems to really stay locked down once you get it tweaked. I also spot check every 20 rounds for charge. variation is less that 0.1 grains. thanks for watching man!

like the vid, how much do you save compared to factory loads
77killerbrian 7 months ago
@77killerbrian did a video on that subject. About 40-50 percent at least. plus you get a custom load. Check it out!
