Hello All,
I want to get back into reloading and I'm starting to work through an equipment list; which will probably be put together over the late summer and into fall. Tonight I'm trying to figure out a rifle press; handgun is a little easier. For rifle I am leaning towards a turret or a simple progressive to save space while also not moving dies around as much. The primary calibers I want to work with are 223, 308, and 30'06.
The stage I'm leaning towards is a Dillon BL 550. I like the fact it acts more like a turret since it is manually indexed. It also seems to be overbuilt and will allow each step to broken up, which seems a lot more ideal for rifle.
With all of this said - does anyone have experience using a BL 550 for rifle? If so, what are your thoughts? How do you rank it against stages at similar price points?
Best,
Anthony
