I started on a single stage several years ago when I was more into precision rifles. After several years without a reloading setup, I bought a Dillon 550 to reload 9mm earlier this year. I've made more than 5000 rounds on it so far. It's great being able to do things individually, advance or return the shell plate as needed. If I feel like the primer isn't going in correctly or there are any other problems, I like that it is not auto-indexing. However, if you had someone to teach you or help you set it up correctly and work out all the kinks, I think the bigger the better. A properly tuned 650 would save a lot of time, a 1050 even more so. If you aren't reloading high volume, might not matter. I'll probably make 15-20k rounds of 9mm this year and I'm already wishing I had went bigger.

I look at the classifieds often and have bought a few things. I thought it was just 50 posts to sell. I can't them at all now.

I picked up a 16" PredatAR barreled upper a few months ago. I have been very happy with it. I really like how lightweight it is. I have about a thousand rounds through it so far; the accuracy seems great too.

Just ballpark numbers here. As the round count gets higher, the more ballpark my guesses become.

Thanks for this. I picked up three.

Thanks

Where is the COPS range at?

Yeah, I work with the guy in the picture on the left when you first open that page. He has told me about that place in the past. I'll definitely have to check it out.

I've been reading and learning here for quite awhile, figured I would finally post an intro. I am in Jefferson City, Missouri, but spend a lot of time in Kansas City also. I have never shot a USPSA match, but I would love to get started after the first of the year. The only match I have shot in is a Rifle/Pistol match for the Missouri National Guard. I am mainly shooting pistol right now, but I would like to get into long range later also.
