My single stage press is a PIA for pistol calibers. Do to the fact that I shoot more pistol than rifle during a range session. I’m thinking about a new reloader for pistol calibers.
I have been looking around and like the Dillon SDB. I like price and the auto indexing (I’m less likely to through two charges, into the same case. Removing the Operator error factor.) the only thing I can’t seam to get a grasp on, is the caliber swap. Dillon’s web site is not to clear on what the kits come with or what’s really needed. Looks like I will need the Caliber Conversion Kit, and the Quick Change kit. The latter, if I don’t want to set up the powder measure between the different calibers and have separate tool heads. Wright????
At this time I will be loading 45 LC, and 45 ACP. Adding later 44mag, 38 S@W, and 357 mag.
The 550 looks much simpler to swap calibers, but is manuel indexing and the dies don’t seam to come with the Caliber Conversion Kit. The 650 seams to have primer feeding problems, and the 1050 is to much money. I would considder the 550 if the calber swap is easier. I would enjoy the views of all you Dillon owners.
Regards Mike.
