You really can't go wrong there. I've used a Dillon that my old man has and my lnl seems to work every bit as well, not nearly as much of a pita to dial in as an old lee I had. I was really torn between a Dillon and the lnl but the pkg I found with the 1k free bullets Hornady offered at the time helped make my decision a little easier.

that's a pretty good deal if they included 1000 rounds your choice to the package deal i doubt they still do that now though being so fare behind! btw i go to school 20 Min's from there manufacturing plant! they give free tours if you happen to be traveling on I-80 by grand island Mon-Thur its a pretty cool place!

graves i bought it from a Dillon dealer in Colorado if you are interested in getting one he is located in boulder he is also a kimber dealer works out of his house i have his phone number.

is there any price advantage by buying local as opposed to just ordering from dillon?

yes you save around 9 percent all said and done with tax. saved me around 50 bucks compared to ordering it straight from Dillon. if you want his number/email shoot me a PM.

basically a simple formula when your wondering what it will cost.

add everything up and times by 78% his dealer cost. than times that by 10% his profit, than 4.75 % sales tax. plus 20 for shipping if its a larger model press like 650 and up it might be 25.

basically he only earns 10 percent per order which is pretty fare considering in the end you save a decent chunk of change better than nothing.

coop, with my 550 just now i just loaded 500 rounds and doing another 500 later today once i take a break and do something else for a while!

please tell my wife[ROFL2]

I need to get my 550 set back up. I didn't move-thankfully-but I'm remodeling the basement. Pain in the ass. And I need more ammo!

I have that same set up!! 550B and I love it!! Had it for about 6 years now and no problems. [Beer]

I have a 450 with the primer upgrade.... Your s makes me want the body upgrade too. very nice

thanks for the posts! i have had it for a year now and all i can say is great things loaded 10,000 plus rounds on it. want to get another one some day so i have one set up for small primers and the other large! for now i'm happy!

again anyone in the boulder area looking to get into a Dillon press shoot me a PM and i can get you in touch with the guy i ordered it from all said and done with shipping/tax saves you 9 percent which might be good if your looking at getting extra stuff with it.
