Decided to give Dillon a try. It was a good deal that I just couldn't pass up. Needs a bit of cleaning but I think it should make a decent press. The 2 other presses on each side are pretty PO'd right now. They got an attitude when I brought the Star Universals home too. :roll:

Yep. And it's pretty easy to tell it's a 550 from the picture. Well... for me anyway... :-)
Call or text me.

I thought for sure that you were talking about "San Diego Blue".

I wish. Always looking for those Stars!!
I should have said "Baby blue."

Dillon has a rule against their presses being in the same house w/ Stars. You need to sell me at least one of the latter. :mrgreen:

That poor Lyman in the corner looks like it's miffed, too.

My 4 Star Loaders are sitting on a shelf directly across from the 3 Dillons, can't say they are happy but they are safe from any use...

Woowow that's a heck of a setup. Ifin you get a case feeder fer the blue one & bullet feeders fer'em all you could connect all the handles & make 15,000 rounds in a few hours.

Did someone say blue? Well, my motto is go big or go home, and the B I G Dillon is not blue and neither is the bullet feeder that is on it. :mrgreen:

A couple tool heads for the 550. The 1050 is setup only for 9mm, for now. Down the road, I hope to be able to include a star sizer or similar sizing press. I'm not sure if they are the same as the star reloading presses, but I read that Dillon started by modifying the Star presses.

My first press is/was a Hollywood Universal
88897
Welcome to the world of Dillon. That is the same press I started with.

Sorry, but I HATE the auto indexing. Just my opinion.
