I've been using a Dillon 550 B for about 20 years now. They GAVE me a new press and about 3 of my old parts back under their no BS warranty.
I've loaded well over 100K rounds. I used to shoot in NRA highpower (200, 300, 600 yds), Palma (800, 900, and 1000 yards), 300 Meter International match, bowling pins with a 45 auto, IPSC with 45 auto, Prairie dogs and deer hunting.
I've never had a problem with my dillon press other then wearing out some stuff.
I just now got into loading the 6.5 Grendel. I am in process of working up a load now. So far, I've loaded various loads with 8028, Varget, BL-C2, and now AR comp powders. Been using the 120 ELD's aand 123 ELD's and SST's. Best group so far is a dissapointing 1 inch group.
I'm used to having groups no larger then 1/2 inch from my prairie dogging days.
We shall see.
After I get the group where it is acceptable, then I will chronograph it and post it here.
Cheers!
