I had at one time an RL550 as my progressive press. Due to the lack of 5 stations and a few other operational issues I sold it in favor of a Hornady progressive and I'm very happy with that decision. However now I'm wanting to leave the Hornady set up for one pistol caliber all the time and I'm looking at either a turret or a semi progressive like the Dillon for loading rifle rounds. I'm considering purchasing one of these presses again because the 5th station isn't needed for my rifle loading and the manual index is beneficial for powder spilling reasons.
What is the difference between the BL and RL models? Seems the RL comes with priming system, bullet tray, powder measure, caliber conversion, and primer warning device.
I probably wouldn't use the priming system on this press, or the powder measure which I could sell on eBay for what seems like 95$ or so.
Does the BL model come with some sort of shell plate? It's not really clear on their website, and Brian doesn't even seem to offer the BL model.
Does anyone know the "street price" on the BL550 model? Dillon says 259$ which seems reasonable even if there is a required caliber conversion @45$
