I used to with a Dillion RL-550. 38, 357, 45ACP,357SIG, 44 Magnum, 7mm Mag, and 12 Gauge with and RCBS Grand Progressive and AA hulls.


Side note..... I once must've accidentally got a double powder charge or a weak 45 ACP hull from too many reloads and wasn't wearing safety glasses and test fired one mag.... Boom, flash of light and didn't realize I had dropped the gun and was about the steps back. My face felt like sweat was running down. Wiped my face and it was blood. Looked over the truck mirror and little pinholes in my face.

As I drove home, my left eye was itching and burning and as I rubbed it, it got worse, like bull nettle.

That afternoon, a Saturday, I was at the opthalmologist with my eye anesthesized while he took a needle, looking thru a microscope and my chin in a cup, and dug pieces out of my cornea. Covered with a protective patch and it burned and watered all night. Went back in ten days. Retested and examined EVERYTHING. No loss of vision and cornea healing. I was just lucky and blessed. I wore safety glasses for every activity since. W

Just getting back into it.

just got me a Dillon 550b with a case feeder to augment a handful of rock chuckers that I already had access to for all my rifle loading.

I primarily just loaded .223 and 30-06 before the SHTF and a picked up the Dillon for 9mm, 380, and 45acp.


I’m still working on setting up my new to me reloading space in my basement. I have really good humidity control in my basement.

Finding components is a bit tough right now...

I used to work with explosives daily...I always wear eye protection when handling the stuff...habit

If I could also point out, a powder check station is also helpful.

I enjoy the loading Rifle (fun) more than pistol (feels like work).

The old timers kept reminding me to always keep lots of primers on hand. You can substitute or make do with a lot of other things, but that's hard to do with primers. They said primers were hard to get during WWII and Korea.

The small pistol and small rifle primers for me are impossible to find.
