Got my tube on. Looks good. I guess I'll go ahead and put the side saddle on and see what happens. Thanks for the help

I ordered from shooters connection - it shows it will be delivered today. So great service. I picked up a 8 shot side saddle today for my benelli m1, BUT then I started seeing reviews saying the M1 would not cycle sometimes do to the weight? Should I not even bother with opening the package and just take it back? I have nothing else bolted on, but with the 8 shots in the tube and the side saddle, is this bolted on...? Thank you for all the help so far. Tom

I am on the hunt for a holster for 3gun. I have a new walther ppq 40. I found a leather desantis speed scabbard. Will this work for 3 gun? Thank you

Mine only holds two with the plug and 3 without the plug? Are the tube extensions hard to put on? Shooters connection has then in stock.

I have a chance to shoot a 3 gun match this weekend. The match director is going to loan me a rifle. I have a handgun. My benneli is stock. How many shells will it hold with plug out? How hard is it to put a tube extension on? Do you think I can get one by Thursday ? Any ideas where? Thanks for your help. Pretty excited about it!

Thanks for the replies and info. So we would be in the tact division or would we have to be in the open? Looks like open from what I can see from the regs. Is that right. 40 sw 308 Benneli 12 gauge. Thanks

Really new to 3 gun. Never shot in 3 gun before, but my son and I would like to try it. I currently have ----- LT 308 obr. With variable scope 40 sw walther Benneli m1 What class if any can I shoot in with these guns? Also do you have to be 21 to participate? My son is 20 Thank you

Jack thanks for your advice. I think you are right, and I will go with the Basic model BL 550 press. If I want to upgrade it or simply buy another one later I can. It looks like the BL 550 is easily changed over to different calibers and will give me the sigle stage accuracy I am looking for. It would be cool to have the progressive, but may cause more of an issue than it would help. Thanks for you help in pointing me in the right direction. Tom

Well, probably around 100 to 200 of each caliber per month with the exception of the 338, less of that. I really want to know if the 550B will work, not if it is overkill. I may grow into it or may not, but as long as it will do the job and produce very accurate ( just as accurate as a sigle stage) ammo than I will be happy. If a 550B will not do this even operated as a single stage press, then I need to look at something else. Most likely the 550 basic model, BL 550 single stage/turret press. Then I could upgrade if I need to, or not. I just kind of have my mind set on Dillon as the manufacture I want to go with unless everyone is telling me the 550 progressive will not do what I want? Thank you, Tom

Thanks for the advice. I was looking at the Dillon site and I see they have the Dillon BL 550 which is basically a single stage press that can be upgraded to a full 550B. Does anyone have any experience with this machine? would it work as well as a single stage Lee or RCB? It was mentioned that the 550 B can be operated as a single stage press? is this hard to do? Not saying that money is not an object, but I want to get all the "right" stuff now and the best stuff. The fact that I may not use the machine as a full progressive at first, atleast I will know that I have it when I am ready. Thanks again for your help. Tom

Hello to everyone. this looks like a great forum. Just found it today. I want to get into reloading soon. I mainly shoot rifles, but within the next year will have several handguns. So currently I have a need to reload 7mm08, 243, 22-50, 338wm, 250 sav, 357, and more to come. I definetly want to get a Dillon system. I have been reading alot of information the past couple of weeks. I like the Dillon 550, but I read several things saying they are not good for reloading rifles, not as accurate as a single stage, powder will not measure accurate enough, etc etc etc. But I have also read that there is no issues at all. Seems if you look hard enough you can find pros and cons on everything. So the real question is will the 550 work for what I have need for now and down the road ( more hand guns, AR etc.)? Thank for the help and any and all advice. Tom
