Gary, you use Dillon 550's for your normal handgun ammo?

And do you hand prime with the progressive presses? I think it's time to invest in a Dillon. . .

I have 23 feet of reloading bench with 8 of the

Dillon 550s. I do all my straight wall reloading like 45 LC, 45 ACP, 10mm, 44 mag, 357 mag etc with the Dillons. I have 2 RCBS Turret presses for the necked down stuff like 41 GNR, 429 GNR, 356 GNR etc. I also have an RCBS Ammo Master for the large stuff, 470 nitro, 500 nitro etc. I have to reload every night of the week for test firing the next day so I use the RCBS Auto Prime for priming any of the ammo that is going in the Turrets or Ammo master. The priming tool on the RCBS presses is not the best in the world, so remove that from all the RCBS presses and go with the Auto Prime.
The Auto Prime is fast and as quick as you can pick up a piece of brass and put it in the shell holder it is done.
Here is the RCBS Auto Prime

I have added 2 Dillon 550 presses since these pics were
taken.
