Dillon Single Stage Press?

[Sarge]

Anyone know if the idea of a Dillon single stage has ever been tossed around? I know their forte is the progressive machine but I would buy a Dillon for those pesky little chores that are more suited to a single stage such as depriming military brass, GRX, Udie, etc.

My guess is cost would probably be a factor since you can get a Lee for $25, but still, I'd buy one.

I've broken 2 Lees, one just de-priming. However, I mounted my Rockchucker in a Dillon 550 Strongmount. Works great!

For single stage - I'd go RCBS.. I can't see much Dillon could bring to the table for a single stage..

I have the RCBS Partner press. Mounted solidly it works well for those purposes. Very handy.

Dillon has a press called the BL 550 that might be worth a look. I don't know how long it's been around but I just stumbled across it the other day. It's a stripped down RL 550B without auto primer feeder or powder system. It could easily be used as a single stage, turret, or progressive. Might be worth a look.

rcbs? boo; id totally go for a redding big boss or boss press decent priming system and overall great

I don't think that the BL-550 would be appropriate for a lot of the tasks that we'd want a single-stage press for (GRx dies, simple decapping, etc.) It's pretty expensive for that type of mundane work.

If color-coordination of your reloading bench is that big of a concern, may I suggest two products: a RockChucker and Krylon part number 53523.
