I'm looking for a progressive reloading press. I've been reloading for years, but currently only have a Rockchucker. I once had a Dillon 550, which I had to sell when I moved cross country.
I want to either get a 550 or 650. Not interested in Lee, LNL or others even though they may be good. I like Dillon...
I shoot 9mm and .223 only.
I shoot 300-400 rounds a week of 9mm.
I like to shoot, and find little joy in loading 50 rounds of 9mm in a night. So I need a quicker alternative for at least pistol loading.
I really have no interest in batch reloading for any other calibers. All of my .223 shooting is out of AR's, and most of that is for highpower matches - so it needs to be "precision" (at least in HP terms).
My guess is I should just stick with a single stage for my match 223 loads, but was thinking it'd be nice to load some blasting loads on a 650. I plan on shooting more 223 plinking loads, but with a single stage, it gets pretty slow for plinking ammo.
How many load .223 on a Dillon 650?
Is switching calibers easy on the 650 like the 550?
Is loading 223 on a 550 a lot faster?
So, should I get the 550 for 9mm AND 223
or...
Get a 650 (with casefeeder) for 9mm and load all my 223 stuff on a single stage?
