Unless they've changed the design since I bought my Dillon dies about 5 years ago they aren't the easiest ones to adjust...
They're not terrible, but the seating die is a bit more work to adjust if you're into using different bullets of the same cal. once in a while..
I use a few differend brand dies... Dillon are fine though, but I find my Hornady's way faster to adjust
 
I figured that since its a Dillon machine I may as well stick with Dillon dies.

Does anyone know if there is a place in Red Deer that sells reloading handbooks?
 
I use Dillon dies and have no real complaints. The seating die as mentioned takes more time to adjust then it should. I am going to order a Redding Seating die though as it comes with a micrometer setting which you can use to mark individual bullet seating depths. Has to be much faster.

Since you are loading 9mm. You might want to consider Lee dies. That's what I use in my RL550 for my 9 & 40 SW. Get the Lee 3-set die with the factory crimp die, which is way better than the Dillon crimp die IMHO. Just my 2-cents

Good luck load safely

I don't understand. What is the difference between the two die sets?
