To buy or not to buy, Dillon RL450
I have a chance to pick up a Dillon RL450 with dies for 9mm, .40, 30-06, and .357; comes with tumbler for $150
Is this a good unit?
How hard is it to set up?
Anyone have one of these?
I need to get back to him today.ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ

I don't have a 450, but I do have, and love, my 550B. Check with Dillon Precision before you buy, because if it is important to you, they sell an upgrade kit for use in turning your 450 into a 550B.
Very nice machines, those Dillons."We arm folks and supply cases of ammo to the landed gentry!"

Custom gun sales, and ammunition sold by the case. Price is distributor cost, plus 20%.

Check the price on a 550, subtract the cost of the upgrades, and then figure if it's a good deal.
Myself, I would buy it at that price, assuming it's in good condition.
And, if you don't want it at that price, I'll want it.Appleseed Chief Master Instructor

Ted is a good guy to ask too, but it is a safe bet that you have a good deal.Last edited by GTOShootr; 03-27-2006 at 10:14 AM.

I think the dies alone would be worth it - and you get a free press and tumbler.
