Caspian offers double stack models as well, I built mine with the original 1911 in mind that John Browning had originally designed.

That is correct on the warranty, always a catch on modifications. Any thoughts on Caspian or another high end 1911 Frame or Slide manufacturer?

The professional shooter or Gunsmith, Caspian sets the standard for quality and is guaranteed for life...

Browning High Power from the Dead Bang movie and will always have my browning.

It is tough to say without pictures, but I would say between $300.00 and $400.00. Where was this one built? I love my BHP and it was built in 1972 and in Belgium, the best were made there. I had it since 1990 and will never sell it. Most Gun professionals will at least have a BHP and a 1911. These two are the greatest pistols ever designed.

Build it with a Caspian Frame and Slide, the best there is and has been the standard for the professional (many years).

The best 1911 out of the box is a Springfield Arms and I prefer the GI model. The best overall would be a custom carry built 1911 on a Caspian frame and slide. In 2006, I did precisely this had proved to work out well. I built it myself, but a good gunsmith in your area could do the same or just go with Wilson or Brown, but that could get pricey. Oh, forgot to mention Cylinder & Slide for building a great .45 too....

I am a fairly new re-loader and purchased my first instrument in November. I did about 90 days of research on the subject, so finally after I ascertained the opinions, I decided that Dillon was the only way. After speaking to Brian, decided and agreed with his professional opinion on the 550 B. I currently produce .45 and .223, but will add more in the coming months. This may be the route you may want to go. Call or e-mail brian and set up an appointment, he is great and will guide you in the right direction. Go with Dillon!

Very nice set up, I especially like your bin arrangement. Where did you get your bin system? I am interested in setting up the same for my reloading area in my garage. I have a good sturdy bench, not as large as yours but I only have one 550 B press for now. I now need to neatly organize everything...

What height does everybody have their bench surface? ...with/without a strong mount? ...standing or seated reloading? My newly finished re-loading bench is 42" Tall and I just like this height for working on projects. I have two other Workbenches for Gunsmithing work and built them 4 years ago. All are @ 42" tall and works well for me. I am 6'1" with a medium build. I have one re-loading instrument, Dillon 550B that I received about a month ago from Brian and just set it up last week to the new bench. I did not use a strong mount, just attached it to the Butcher Block (1 3/4") top. I will stand, but I could also sit down by using one of my adjustable height stools. Stephen NC

Without question, Brownells is the best for high quality Firearm items. I have been a customer of theirs for over 17 years and simply they produce and sell the Highest Quality Tools for the Professiond Gunsmith or one who is just Starting out shooting. I, Like Brian read the Catalog cover to cover when the updated catalog arrives.The majority of my Gunsmithing supplies come directly from Brownells. Like some other Gun Nuts and Right Wingers, it is better not to allow the wife to know about what we acquire. They never can appreciate or understand the need of having so many items. Stephen North Carolina (Triad) PS Brian and Brownells make a good partnership, so I either buy from Brian, Brownells or Caspian for they represent the very best.

I hate to ask this, but how does one add a picture(s) to this forum?? I have just assembled my reloading bench and want to add it to this forum (reloading benches). Thank you!

I received my first press 2 weeks ago, but I will purchase a Forster Co - Ax in a few weeks and then another Dillon from Brian. I think, I will buy a 650 and all associated items for it. I think reloading is a very addicting disease, as I am loving it. Thanks Brian...

I am planning on purchasing a Forster Co-Ax® Reloading Press in a month or so. I have a good Dillon 550B press, but need a single stage press for Producing high quality precise loady for my Tactical Rifle. Is this a good press and how is the quality of the instrument? Does it produce high quality AMMO? Are you satisfied with it? I need opinions, advise and user experience? Thank you, Stephen
