Looking for some help... Typical Dillon 550 primer feeding problems. I've looked through some other solutions on the interwebs, but I'm not sure they'll fix what I'm looking at. I've seen the bearing alignment add-ons, and my concern is that they're still going into the same screws that aren't...

So... recently been working with virgin Lapua .308 Palma (SRP) brass and Fed 205M primers on the old Dillon RL550B. Hadn't been having a problem before with my ~8x fired brass, but I needed to switch over to new brass, so... Started experiencing the occasional 'full stop' when I went to push...

Hey guys, Long time lurker here, not sure if I've ever posted, but I am on the site all the time. I greatly appreciate it when I read about a product that I would otherwise have no idea about, and especially so when it's supplemented with good pictures and details. Some background: I am an...

I have a chance to buy a Dillon 550 progressive relaoder complete with with .45 cal and 357 Mag. dies for $350.00 that was used only a couple of times. I don't know a lot about progressive reloaders and have been shooting .45ACP and .357 Mag a lot more and it's getting expensive. Is this a good...

I just got a dillion case gauge and started to measure some of the cases i had already sized. they seem to be just over the maximum. My question is how much is too much? I think i might have sized them just a hair too much. Do I use the gauge religiously meaning. toss it if its no go...

I know I've seen a few pictures here where guys have the Redding T-7 mounted on a Strong Mount. I hear no new holes need to be drilled, so I need to know if I need the taller 550 SM or if the 650 SM will work. Please help....a post a picture for me too. Thanks, Jason

If you had your choice and money wasn't an issue, which would you buy?

OK the Thumler UV18 has a 1/30 hp motor. Does the Dillon have a hp rating?? I cant find it. Only down side I have heard about the Dillon is it runs hot. I havent heard anything bad about the Thumlers. So which would you buy?? What are the good or the bad of both models. I get on or the other...

Here is a Link that Jason came up with for the 550 and the 650 machines that bypassed the powdeer issue and allows you to drop your own charge at that station while still taking advantade of the multiple operations of the press. Any one had any experiance? Link...

Ok, Have been thinking about looking into a Dillon Loader for some time now. Any input you guys can provide would be great. I have been loading a lot of different rounds on an old RCBS RC. I am getting more and more pinched on time to dedicate to reloading. I was told that a 650XL and...

I need a better progressive press for 10mm, 40S&W, 357SIG and 9mm. I've settled on the Dillon XL650 with a nod to the Hornady LnL AP. Can anyone recommend a good online source for the Dillon? Also what accessories do I need and what can I do without? Thanks.

I know the 9mm caliber conversion will work with 40S&W but I wonder if it will work with 38spl and .357mag. They are a little bigger than the 40. The 40S&W is .424 and .357mag is .440 width so I expect no but thought I would ask and see if anyone has tried it. But I bet the 40S&W caliber...

I have 2 dillon 550's and am thinking of selling one of the 550's for a 650? I am starting to load a lot of pistol .45 and have heard that the 650 is a better machine for this purpose. Dont get me wrong I love the 550's as i have 2 but are the 650's better for pistol? Bill

I've done the mods I found on the web, but my new Powder dispenser on my 650 sucks. W/ N133 it throws a deviation of up to .7 Gr. What should I do?

I was reloading 223 this weekend and snap - broke the Dillon. I have had this RL 550 for about 15 years and it has been a workhorse. I called Dillon the first thing Monday morning and they wanted a picture of the broken piece. I sent the picture to them and they called me back and said they...

Via word of mouth a local shooter got my name.....he is having trouble with the powder section of his 550B - ONLY used for 45acp. He moved, then set up his unit in the new house, now things are not functioning. First he started damaging necks - but tightened down the base (unit does not have...

I'm getting into reloading and the cals are 223 and 9mm. I have the dillon 550 and the three set carbide dies for the 223. My question is after I clean the brass do you resize and decrimp than stick it thru the swager and your done or after the swager do I still need to remove some metal with a...

I ordered their Super Swage 600 and decided to buy some of their case lube to see how if it was better or worse than the hornady lube I use. I use the spray pump type bottle stuff and not the aerosol can. Well here are the directions written on the bottle. <span style="font-style...

Do you need an extra large powder die to reload the 7 WSM on a 550? Thanks I will call them tomarrow just wondering Bill
