When I first started reloading, one could get a Dillon 550 - press only - for $248.

I chose a Rock Chucker because it could be had for less than half the price. I still have the Rock Chucker. It's a fine press. I will outlast me. However, hindsight being 20/20 - I whished I had bought a Dillon.

Every time a Democrat is in office - there is a RUN of Dillon Presses, Dies, and Accessories. Last year I priced a Dillon 750 - they were back ordered 12-15 months.

Long story short - If you want a Dillon - get one when you can find one. I assure you - next year - they won't be cheaper.

Buy once - cry once.
