Automated my Dillon 550

[Daver7]

New addition to the reloading room.

Lol, only drawback is that unit requires fuel!

And housing, clothes, probably a cell phone, car, insurance, a good chunk of money for college and a wedding, then there are grand kids to spoil… unless that’s not the OP’s daughter and a girlfriend or wife that’s even more expensive. :)

Maybe I need to rethink my journey with the Lee 6000?

Does this come in "kit" form that can be purchased and assembled at home?
Or does it only come fully assembled?

[GWS]

I just want to know how to brainwash one so useful. For my wife, daughters, granddaughters, it wouldn't be very easy......and certainly not with a happy smile. ;)

Most expensive upgrade you’ll ever make, and it uses half of what it produces! :smile:

[ShooterAZ]

What a beautiful smile! Priceless for sure.

What a beautiful smile! Priceless for sure.

My thoughts exactly! What is up with you folks and these nice big and clean reloading areas. Getting a complex here ( not really but c'mon man).

Thats one of my Granddaughters.
Took 45 years to get her up and running and there was some manual labor on my part at the beginning.
Now I drive 5 miles to pick her up, taking her back home we stop for ice cream so its a few more miles.

I had my presses automated and automatic brass retrievers. But, then the teenage years hit. Now I am back to the old and slow old man way. Keep buying the ice cream. Some dumb boy is going to see that smile and you will be back to square one.

That, Sir, is awesome!!!
That smile is gonna break a lot of hearts.
I had 3 "autos" - male model, for quite some time, even into the teenage years (they loved to shoot - so they worked for the range time)
Youngest was the only one into casting, older 2 loaded
All 3 policed brass - while I sat and had a smoke and a Coke. haha
Best years of my life
Now 5 grandkids - 4 of the female model. All into shooting and understanding the work that goes into the fun
Been working on the fundamentals with pellet guns (amazing the confidence that can be built with an FWB 300)
They visit my house, the phones / games are forgotten; time to shoot/size pc'd bullets/load.
Our best ammo for the anti's is the next generation !

You're a lucky guy.

That is what I was thinking too. Probably cheaper to shoot factory ammo.

Truly awesome! Best thing is the memories that you'll build. Kudos!
