Setting up my first Dillon. I know...

I've never been attracted to them. I can run a couple hundred of anything in about 2-1/2 hrs. on a single stage and not need all that proprietary tooling. I see anything painted blue is crazy high right now too. It'd be easy to drop $1000 to get just a few basic calibers going. I have close to 100 die sets and use about 1/3 of them sort of regularly.

I've almost gotten the courage to open the box and see what I actually have. I think it's new in the box, RL550 A,B,C whatever it takes.

A late departed friend left it to me. I'd like to set it up for .38/357, .40/10mm, 5.56, .45 ACP, .45 Colt. I'll eventually learn all about the dies and "conversion" parts. My time is getting more precious and it would help. Plus I can set it up and put a little monkey on it.
