    WTB Dillon 550

    Looking to get a Dillon 550 press, shoot me what you’ve got and what you’d like for it.

    What caliber set up are you looking for with the Dillon? I have one that I rarely use anymore set up with 45acp rcbs dies it is the 550B. Let me know if this what you are looking for and I will consider selling. You are aware that the machine is pretty heavy and shipping/insurance could be pricey depending on where you reside. PM me or respond here for further discussion.

    The widow of a recently-passed fellow shooter has a Dillon 550 with optional roller handle, stand, blue zipper cover, and caliber conversion with Dillon powder measure & funnel, including .38 S&W Special Dillon dies for sale very shortly. I believe she wants $400.00 for the set-up, plus of course (exact) shipping and insurance costs. Post if you're interested. (The set-up is in her house/basement, and I'd need to contact her re my picking it up. I will do the packing and shipping, and simply hand over the money to her. She also has a beautiful Ohaus Dial-a-Grain scales for which, I *think* she wants $150.00, plus of course, exact shipping and insurance costs on this.) While she and her husband were able to make a go of it on two SS retirement cheques, with him (and his cheque) now gone, she's apparently having a very rough go of it. I'm hoping to help a bit with these two sales.) You, mwells72774, in the market, may very well make for a win-win situation for you both. I was not going to post this until the press & scales were in my possession, but I'm certain I may pick them up anytime should you wish their purchase. Thanks.

    Photo add edit: I went to Anne's house and picked up the press and scale -- so they're now in my garage. A bit dusty, but a few minutes of cleaning should have them sparkling. Per mwells72774's request, here are some pictures I just took of the press; apologies re my lack of both clean-up of press (SNOWING & COLD!!!) as well as my lack of photo-taking prowess. I did not photograph plastic boxes which come with it.

    That is an excellent price for what you get, would buy it to up-grade my 450 if OP is not interested...
