Have you got screws holding that thing to your bench..?

Better to drill some holes in tgat bench and use thru-bolts.

My bench is laminated 2x4 with 3/4" plywood glued and screwed to the top. Those screws are 4" #8 deck screws. You couldn't pull that press off of that bench with a Dozer.
 
You will like that one! I upgraded last summer to the 550B & have loaded .32 Long/Mag., .38/.357, .44 Mag, & .45 ACP/Colt with good results. Go slow when you first start loading on it. Once you get it set properly & get the various stations clear in your head, in time you will pick up speed.

Your goal is making good ammo. I like to load 100 rounds at a time & take a break, but I don't shoot much in the winter anyhow....

There are lots of really good youtube videos to watch, your instruction guide, there is also a forum on the Dillon website, & here on the CGN to help with any concern you may have with it.

Enjoy your new press, great choice!:cool:

I use both Lee and Dillon dies. Both work fine. The only issues I have is the lock nuts for Lee are 1 1/8" and the Dillon are 1". That makes the Dillon a little easier to lock of. In terms of performance I haven't noticed any difference.
