Bought from MD Gardner in BC. Price was right and service/delivery excellent.
Looking forward to getting supplies and the rest of my tools together to start reloading

I am very new to reloading. Hoping this will do the job. Now just need to procure some brass and bullets. All set up for .45 Colt. Well dies will be here tomorrow.

Just a thought, you might need some powder and primers too ;)

Nice buy - MG is a good guy to deal with. Can you get a case feeder for a 550?

Yeah thanks for that tip. :redface: Powder and primers are easy to find at my local supplier. In my area the shops are more rifle/shotgun types. The main pistol stuff is for 9mm or .45ACP not many people shooting .45 Colt.
 
What make dies did you get?? I am having a hell of a time getting dies for my new Dillon RL 550B....Do Lee dies work in it just as well?? Too new to reloading and my head is about to explode with all the products out there !!!!
 
550 case-feeder

Big fan of the 550 overall, but I would steer clear of the case feeder.

I have one, and while it works fine there a few drawbacks:
A) - it doesn't work well with 9mm &
B) - you can't load rifle on the 550 with the case-feeder attached

It takes away from the versatility of the press, but does add speed for the calibers it works with - so with that being the end goal, the 650 with a case-feeder is a better choice for those thinking of upgrading their 550 with one.

The few items I do like very much are the strong mount, roller handle, and bullet tray - they make life with the Dillon presses a little easier (they really should come standard with the press).

Any 7/8 by 14 thread/" die - so standard dies.
