@badjeep02 I can recommend this press for sure. Brand new, you get one caliber set of dies. They also set it up at the factory for that caliber of die and bullet profile. They also load one round (dummy) and include it in the box. When you get it, all you have to do is mount it and it is ready. Set up your powder measure as well as your bullet seating die and go to town... So far the powder has been consistant..
@salutationthe3rd Sorry for the confusion. You are correct. I did miss priming at that point. It is very important to be distraction free and concentrate. While filming and talking, I had forgotten to prime a couple during that film. It is best to get into the rhythem of depriming and on the down stroke, push on the handle to prime before doing anything else. Even if there is no case in the slot, still push forward to get into the habbit.
@MrVTHILLBILLY a member of the forum has a LnL XbonesX, he is very impressed with it. I have not gotten the chance to try either one out. I would like to see the difference if any...
@sfliberal Thanks, Sorry for the late response. I really have not had much time to sit down and really load with it. I have bought 2 more since I made this video. Now have 3, one for each caliber 9,40 and 45. I did load 200 rounds of 45 on this one tho. I do have to say, went through 200 so fast, kinda sat there disapointed that I had much more time on my hand than I normally would have. Next time I will have to start a counter and see how long it takes.
Nice intro to this press, DW. Been looking at it myself as a possibility down the road. When you're in full-out production mode, what sort of rate are you typically getting over, say, a full 60 min. of reloading?
@MrVTHILLBILLY Nice, I believe my next press is going to be LnL by Hornady. I want to give that one a try as well. I hear good things. One dillon owner had told me that he would put them both neck to neck
Beautiful press! Congrats on getting it.
I love Dillon stuff.. it's really high quality and great value.

this press is very underrated imo
Nice Tommy, I was looking into one of those. I've heard those are great for the money. The Blue Press booklets are nice too:)
Well done. I'm still not ready to move to a progressive but good information for the future.
@supermaucat Thanks I appreciate it. It is a good press. Just need to get over some complications of the learning curve to get the best out of it..

LOL, I would not have the dillon if it wasn't used and offered to me at such a great deal!! I myself do not have that kinda money...

I heard those Dillon presses run alot better if you paint em' red! :p
@brreed82 LOL maybe...
