New Dillon.

Fed EX tracking says my new 550B is on the truck and out for delivery! USPS tracking says my case of Montana Gold 124gr. JHP should arrive today too! Almost ready!

 

[IndyIN]

Nice! I purchased a 550 a couple months ago, and really like it. I'm sure you will too.

SWEET couldn't live without my 650!

 

[derrickgoins]

Congrats. I bought a 550B earlier in the year and the trick seems to be stocking up on enough components to keep that thing fed!

I couldn't live without Steve's 650 either!

Just ordered a 650 and some attachments last night

Hopefully you sprung for the case feeder. It lets you put out some serious ammo production.

Blue kool aid is the only way to go.

 

[Vince49]

Almost ready.

It got here about ten thirty this morning. Assembled and bolted down,first two stations are set. I am stuck until my bullets get here though. Post Office has had them since Monday(according to USPS tracking) and they are still not here! I cannot set stations 3 and 4 or make any ammo until the pseudo gov. agency builds a fire under their mule!

NICE!!!

Have fun

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN!
RL450B(Partially Converted to RL550B), 3 Square Deal Bs, 2 XL650s with case feeders!

Yeah, I like to reload!

 

[RBM]

Congrats! Hope to get mine in next couple of weeks. Can't wait!

No Boolets, no joy.

It appears that once again the fine folks at the U.S. Post Office have blown a perfectly swell opportunity to deliver on time. The USPS tracking site says my bullets were processed through their sort facility in Kalispell MT on Tues 07/03 with a delivery date today 07/07. They lied. Oh well maybe Monday? If their mule hasn't croaked! Meanwhile I have a press set up mostly,(cannot set the dies in stations 3 & 4 without the bullets I want to use), powder (Titegroup), primers(CCI 500) and lots of cases. For lack of anything more constructive to do at the moment I guess I will post some pictures.

Lots of win in those pics. Strong mount, roller handle, bullet tray, extra toolhead with stand and the nifty primer flip tray. Very nice movable press platform too.

Got the large pistol casefeeder to start, probably wind up with all of them

 

[Vince49]

Still bored.

Still twiddling thumbs here in ammo land so I made a stand to hold the primer pickup tubes. Full ones go in the stand with the pickup side up and empty's with the discharge side up so that the primers are oriented correctly and I can see at a glance how many I have loaded (100 in this case).

 

[Six Shooter Steve]

Nice! There was a fella a while back that sold cnc aluminum blocks that were milled out to hold primer tubes. I picked one up and it helps out alot! I have 10 of each primer tubes and it speeds up production being able to have your primers ready to go. Pistol rounds with using the case feeder I can load a k in a little over an hour. Dillon rocks!

That is one kick ass setup you have there in that shop. I am going to be getting a garage soon(purchasing a house) and may need to take some notes.
