n517rv Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Hi, I'm just getting started in reloading and I'm really excited about it. Ever since I was a kid I've enjoyed looking at ballistic charts and reloading manuals... call me weird! My 11 year old son has been having a ball polishing brass, so he's following in my footsteps. I purchased a used Dillon RL550B with Lee 40 SW dies, Dillon 9mm dies, and a 45 conversion kit. I plan on loading 40 SW first, then 9mm, and eventually getting into 357 SIG, 223 Rem, and 6.8 SPC. Looking forward to participation in this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpyOne Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Welcome to the forums! You've come to the right place! I load on a 550, so if you have any questions about setup, or loads, shoot me a pm! Have fun and be safe, and wear your eye protection when loading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twodownzero Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Welcome. Do yourself a favor and download the manual and use it to set up everything. You'll be making ammo in no time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Welcome to the forums! Like Grumpy, I too load on a 550B. I just CAN NOT find a flaw in the machine. Good choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSteel Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 My first and only loader has been the 550B. No regrets and will keep even if I move up. Simple set up, easy operation and very adequate thruput. Very accurate loads can be had if you do your part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
