I have decided to buy a Dillon, either Square deal or 550. The 550 can use my regular dies, which I have for everything I load for, some I don't, but 50 sets or so. I am mainly needing to use whichever one I buy, for loading pistol ammo, .38/357, 9mm. 45 colt and 44mag/44 special. Since I already have dies, the 550 seems like the sensible thing to do, would cost less to switch calibers, etc. I could sell my regular dies, and buy the Dillon turret set up to change, recouping part of the money that way. I am a accuracy nut, so rifle loading on a progressive does not seem feasible, since you would have to measure/trim rifle brass before loading. I usually load my rifle ammo, in 50 or 100ct lots.
Also, what extra besides primer pickup tubes do I need to buy when getting a Dillon progressive, in one caliber to start with. Give me some feedback guys, never been steered wrong on this forum!
