    Choice of Reloading Press

    Thanks for the detail. I do everything you mentioned, including annealing. In essence, I use The Dillon 550B as a single stage press for rifle, and as a progressive for pistol. I was just wondering if the offset shell plate/die would affect the consistency of the loaded ammo-----in reading...

    Choice of Reloading Press

    Okay...thanks. I have had my Dillon 30 years or so, and think it's a great press. I just wasn't sure about the floating compnents for rifle. I'll leave well enough alone.

    Choice of Reloading Press

    My goal is precision rifle reloading. I am using a Redding S bushing die for resizing and a Forester micrometer seating die. I have loaded close to 500K pistol rounds through my dillon, BUT for rifles, both the shell plate moves (slightly compresses downward) and the tool head puhes up...

    Choice of Reloading Press

    I have a Dillon 550B wich I have been using for both pistol & rifle. Should I get a single stage press for rifle.....IE will a single stage press resize and seat more accurately? The Dillon press utilizes a shell plate system which keeps the shell off center, where a single stage press...

    Neck Turning & Annealing

    I know many here anneal their brass for better concentricity and longer brass life. But how many turn the necks, or do you just buy top quality brass that's supposed to be concentric? Thoughts, as I am contemplating neck turning, but maybe it's easier just to buy new Lapua brass. I do...

    Here's All The Stuff I Ordered Today!!!! Now looking for an Annealer

    Anywhere in that range is fine. I know I can get a drill and torch, hold a shell with pliers, or get something a little more relaxing that automatically keeps the timing constant. I just want something that works well, and will last.
