Thanks for all the replies fellas. My reloading research is ongoing and I'm seriously looking at the Dillon line. I'm in the greater Phx area,,, so they are "just down the road" from me. If I'm gonna reload, I'm gonna go all the way, therefore I want to be able to reload pistol and rifle. (so ths SDB is out) I'm looking serious at the 550,,, but for about $100 bucks more I can get auto indexing. I'm not one to "scrimp" when it comes to upfront tool costs (I've always paid dearly in the past when I did),,, so I may go with the 650,, but the more expensive conversions may steer me away from it and more to the 550. Needless to say, I'm still researching.
I've searched many a-hour for favorable on-line reloading supply sellers,,, but can come nowhere near y-alls listed prices. I was wondering if you kind folks had some favorite suppliers that you have good experience with. I put service pretty high in my "value" menu,,, so I'll pay a bit more if I know I'm going to be treated well.
Thanks a bunch fellas,,, you have all helped educate me a tad on this matter. (Just enough to be dangerous!
) I read some of the posts about the different powders/primers etc.. and just can't believe how many options there are out there. Wasn't ready for quite such a learning curve.
Thanks again gents.
