    Default Just did a little upgrading

    Been reloading for a few months now on my lee classic turret and was fortunate enough to be offered an unbelievable deal on a Dillon 550b. This press is definitely quality. Dillons no bs warranty is a welcome sight. Sending the powder drops back for a replacement of the hoppers that have powder burn.

    Old press




    New press

    You got room on the bench to mount the LCT also. Once you start getting into loading more calibers (especially ones with less quantity) the LCT will come in handy.

    Good luck with the 550b. It's an excellent press.

    I sold my classic turret press to break even on the purchase of the 550. But I also got an older 3 die lee turret press that I'll probably hold onto and use it for odd calibers or misc reloading

    I see that. I'll definitely do that. I'm a fan of December 2016

    Keep that plywood off the wall. If that window leaks, (if its an outside window)
    your table will get soaked.

    that's a really nice press, makes the lee look like a toy. i still have a lee press, gets the job done for me but i don't reload as much as i should.

    I truly like the lee press, and for the money it's one of the best to get you up and running. The progressives are really more for speed and convenience.
