Other than the standard equpiment that dillons sells or suggests what does everyone else recommend that you should have with your Dillon press?

Reloading manuals, safety glasses, a sturdy place to mount it and stuff to load with, at the top of the list.?

Long list. But it really depends on which press.

I got the 550. And i got all the other stuff. I meant stiff for the press itself

Well in that case a strong mount, case feeder and collator and roller handle.

Check inlinefabrication.com, their Mounts, Ergo Handles, and Lights are BETTER.

I suggest just get cranking. You will figure what exactly what you need on your bench.

Start with the basic and add as you see fit. The important part is being safe. I hate buying recommended goodies that get in my way and then giving them away or selling at a loss later when I no longer use them.

I sit when I reload and don't think I need a strong mount. I see everything fine.

Lead, powder primers and brass. Big steaming piles of them!

Non-Dillon stuff: A box of Q-tips to regularly clean the gunk out of the priming area, plus some dry graphite or mica to lube the sliding primer bar. Lube for the ram, as a little extra resistance adds up if you're pumping the handle a thousand times in a day. A digital scale for checking powder charges and setting the powder measure.

+1 what You want will depend on You.

I will bet that Your bench, chair and expectations are different than mine.

I like mounting all my stuff on a board and using a C-Clamp to hold it to the bench. My work space is not the largest and I always thought that if i bolted it down I would end up wanting to move it. Also have some containers to catch all those cartridges you are loading.

Canned air or a small compressor and a soft brush to keep it clean.

Keep the primer slider VERY clean and do not lubricate it.

Strong mount and bullet tray, regardless of model
