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.

@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.

@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.

@millster101 I uye the 550 to load 223. Check the loads every once in a while, an the measure keeps constant weights.

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.

@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.

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.

Great video once again. Thank you.
