My Dillon 550B has been ordered and should be here Friday. I have powder, cases, primers and bullets. Now I have to figure out the whole reloading thing. I may dress up the bench with a drawer or two and some pegboard. Once I start, I will see what has to go where.

VERY nice

Looks better than Matt's. And it has it's own room. :thsmiley_deadhorse:

And I bet it didn't take 8 months to build.

Are you reloading or working on engine blocks?

Congratulations Mike! Looks great!

Awesome Mike! looks really good.

Looks awesome.

Mike awesome job man! Glad you finally got around to doing it, know you have been talking about it for a while.

 

Only thing you gotta watch out for is that florescent light with beam scales. I don't know how close it is but I know in beam scale manuals it tells you how far they need to be away.

 

Need any help reloading give me a call

Here's my reloading/junk bench I got from Craigslist for $10

I have heard that but no problems. I have an electronic scale. Thanks for the offer of help, I may take you up or at least ask some questions.

 

To Coldsolderjoint: That looks like my workbench and I am sure it works fine for a single stage press. But for a progressive press, everyone including Brian Enos says it can't be too strong.

 

To Shane45: I told my wife if an earthquake every hits, get under the bench.

It works for me as it is, I'd like to get a better one, as once in awhile on a rifle round.. ill move the whole bench.. But.. its a rental house and we don't plan on staying too much longer.. so I don't want anything too permanent.

 

At the current Time, I only do Rifle Rounds, and It's basically for precision. I still have plenty of 9mm left, and its cheap enough where it almost wouldn't be worth it to reload (I don't want to go to lead bullets)

You spent all that money on a 650 instead of a 1050 why?

You know, if this was in the 1950's, there would be an ashtray on that bench, along with a glass of questionable brown liquid.

 

And I don't see any GOEX on the topshelf.

Warranty Cheif! I break **** all the time. At least when you shoot as much as i do.

Do they? I always hear good things. I got a Lee Turrent, and it's broken, and the cheap replacement parts didn't work. Lee told me that's all they got. I might bump up to Dillon though.

lol i crank out about 20,000 rounds per year; Stuff breaks
