after using one of the 550 and a 650 reloading press , IM convinced these are a great value, and on the rare occasions, I've busted small parts they have replaced those components for free!

above is one of the best over all deals in a basic press,
it allows you to set up all the dies in a single removable plate
making changes in calibers and reloading faster, as its a manual progressive,
this potentially makes reloading faster and easier
I really wish you were local so I could demonstrate the differences and advantages of each,
press design and teach you the basics of reloading


a good value in a single stage press you need to put each die in place separately and use a separate shell holder

I do a bit of reloading for my self, my younger son, the members of the elk hunt club I belong too, and a few friends which easily takes 1-3 hours a week almost every week, as practice is done almost every weekend by some members of the group.
Ive got several presses set up for the most common calibers used and three of the most used presses are DILLON PROGRESSIVES, now Ive had those for decades and occasionally some small component wears out or breaks and simply calling the DILLON support guys has always resulted in FREE replacement parts.
well i busted a very small part recently that I doubt costs $1 ,( part # 13824)(blue arrow) but being its required for the press operation I called for a replacement and frankly if they wanted to charge for the part I would have not been a bit upset as that particular press is at least 25 years old.
the guy answering the phone took my customer ID info and a part number and told me the part would be shipped at no cost!
I was VERY PLEASANTLY SURPRISED when the envelope arrived to find they shipped the complete sub assembly (red circle), even though I own several of those presses you can bet if I get in the market for a new press or one of my friends decides to buy a progessive loading press Ill recommend DILLON

I've never dealt with Dillon but I have had a couple dealings with Hornaday and RCBS and in my opinion you couldn't get 2 nicer people who I felt truly wanted to help me out but I have found that out in general about the shooting industry as a whole they have a different approach to customer support and the first thing being is that you can talk hear and understand these people
