@obx with reloading 45. Or any other pistol ammo, how accurate is the reload? Cause I know with the pmc, umc ammo it doesn't fly strait @ 50 feet one round will hit high left second round will hit 3 feet to the right. So the grouping could be a 4 foot spread. So with reloading your own ammo how accurate is it. I'm asking b/c I'm looking into starting reloading. Reading books on reloading watching y/t getting advice from friends who reload.
Good to see loved the video. I have a 650 and I'm about to get a 1050, can you please tell me how high from the bench to the top of the case feeder so I can make sure it will fit on my bench? Thankyou in advance
When using a tumbler how well are the primer pockets and the inside of the brass cleaned? I am having great success with ultrasonic cleaning but it adds depriming as a first step then clean and reload. To get the most out of a progressive press it seems adequate cleaning needs to be the first step. Any additional light you can share on the subject will be appreciated.
Was wondering if you can show how well rifle powder meters from round to round . Going to the reloading store they don't like progression presses for rifle , they say that the rifle powder isn't repeatable. Making my RL550 into a single stage makes me kinda sick.
@millster101 The Dillon powder system is very accurate. If you have thousands of dollars on the line or trying to set a world record than I would say no go single stage and do powder trickling.
Love all the vid's especially the reloading ones. Kinda makes you feel like a kid at Christmas time, just that anticipation to shoot some more is a thrill, like opening presents. "Don't shoot your eye out kid." Thanks again.
Getting ready to take the reloading plunge and starting with the NRA metallic reloacing class in a couple of weeks. Your videos have helped push me to the end of the diving board.
@Frequencitee 1)No there is no heat generated in reloading any round. 2) You don't need any lube of any kind if your using a carbide die ( usually pistol calibers). 3) After the case has a slight taper put into the case mouth to accept a bullet easier, more taper if your using a lead bullet. 4) No that was a large brass vibrator with crushed walnut media.....Ultrasonic, not a chance, Best place to buy walnut media is at a sandblasting supply store. Hope this helps you.........
Much appreciated! That is some impressive engineering. The equipment and the results. We can't afford to lose this art, especially at a time when we may need it the most.
@Frequencitee Your more than welcome.....Been doing it for over 30 years. I still learn things now and then. Feel free to ask whatever you like..... The only way I'll loose this hobby is when I pass on, which wont be any time soon...... I hope
@wildbill23c The Dillon products are very well made. I personally have had nothing but problems with my lock-n-load. I hate to make negative comments about any machine, but I wish I had heeded the advice I received from Dillon owners. I have a Dillon RL550B that I can reload on much faster than the LNL, because I do not have to watch the Dillon, and continually adjust the timing, and retighten screws. It took me since February this year to get the machine to seat primers flush / below flush.
That's good to hear, a friend of mine used to have a Dillon and seemed pretty reliable I've never used one so I wouldn't know. I plan on buying a reloader but I want to buy the right one the first time as money is a huge factor. I feel that money would be better spent getting the Dillon similar to yours rather than buying the individual equipment to hand load. I'll save money and buy what I want.
@wildbill23c While I whole-heartedly recommend the Dillon 550, many folks like the Lee CLASSIC turret press. Turret presses are a lot easier to learn, but somewhat slower loading ammo. I still load most of my rifle ammo on a Forster Co-Ax press. The Forster has to be experienced to understand why I paid $250.00 for a Single-stage press. It is that good. I am planning on a future purchase of a Dillon Super 1050. This will happen when I get over 3500 rounds of .223 per month.
I have designed an ashtray and a drink holder on mine, I will be forwarding you the prototypes. Good vid bro, love that sound. Ka-chink...Ka-chinl...Ka-chink.
@savgal1211 I think thats great. Anyone who does a fair amount of shooting is missing the bus on the benifits and savings when it comes to reloading your own ammo.

Very nice set up. Couple of questions.
Do you notice any significant heat on the rounds during the press process?
Do you have to use any additional lubricant?
At what point is the grain loaded ?
And lastly, is the tub unit a cleaner? Ultrasonic maybe?
I apologize. I'm a noob, but this is good information/knowledge.
Thanks!
