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 price for this rig or should I look at other progressive reloaders. PAT.

+1000 to Lumpy G! A Dillon at that price is a no-brainer. You only have to buy that press once. I have a 550, Dillon dies, case tumbler, digital scale, and many conversions. I have never spent a dollar with Dillon that I have regretted. Try saying that about some other loaders.

A new RL550B is a little over $400 by itself; no dies. You do the math....

Great presses by the way, I just bought one myself.

And if you want to upgrade later, you can change out the 450 body for $90.
