Title: If you could own only 1 press
Post by: crockett on August 15 2025 09:00:23 PM MDT
What press would it be? Money is no objective.

Love my 1050, but it cranks out way more ammo than I will ever shoot. My 550 makes more sense for range sessions with 200 rounds or so.

That beings said, I think I'd stick with my Redding T-7 turret. It's very tight, and I can still go semi progressive.

Well, I have made do with the RCB Big MAX and Jr. for years. My Dillon 550 that sits on the sidelines with several setups and could be put into action if and when needed. I even have a tool head with spacer for the 10mm/40S&W.

Most of my loading these days are more for precise loads and those which are at the upper end performance where I hand weigh each and every load.  I never really rush my loading processes.  Benefit of being retired...

I have seven presses for cartridge reloading plus a shotgun press.  If I had to only have one it would be a cast iron "O" press, ideally my Rock Chucker.  That is because I use a press for reloading both pistol and rifle as well as sizing bullets, swaging from time to time, reforming brass, etc.

If I had to pick one progressive, it would be the 1050, but any Dillon would be fine.
