acpie360 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 If you only reload pistol cartridges and already have progressive reloaders, do you still want a single stage press? I bought one recently, an RCBS RC Supreme, but I am not sure what else I can use it for besides depriming before wet-tumbling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I use it to pull bullets with a collet bullet puller. Much easier and convenient than other methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay870 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I use my single stage for a push through sizing die (GRX in my case). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acpie360 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 I shoot 200gn SWC 45ACP. Would the collet type bullet puller work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pull bullets. some may even size the brass with a standard sizer die before running through a progressive that has a Udie installed. But these are just a lot of extra pulls of the handle in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rustybayonet Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I have my old rock chucker that did nothing since I got my dillon 550. Once I got into casting bullets, it has found a new purpose swaging the cast bullets. The next story in the rock chuckers life will be swaging crimped primer pockets.

Nathanb Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I load low volume rounds on mine. 338 lapua specifically. It sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdinga Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I use my single stage to deprime all of my .223 brass. it allows me time to inspect and sort each case prior to trimming. All processed brass is fed to the Dillon for final loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
