How Phil reloads on a Dillon:

[sdmc530]

So my prep work is getting everything laid out and ready to go. Get out primers needed and powder. Fill the powder dispenser, fill the primer tubes so you can fill the Dillon primer tube. I have my scale, caliper, have one of each a digital and dial, and I have a go no go bullet check. All the tools I might need for the press. I always have a can of compressed air its handy.

I get my bullets set out as well so I don't have to go digging for anything. I also plan out what load I am going to be doing. And also my stock pile of MTM plastic holders for the finished product.

Next step is to make coffee and get to it. I will post the video as soon as I get it viewable and on YouTube.

Awesome vids. Way too easy to reload like this. Not appealing to me to be honest. Lee Classic Turret Press here I come!

Yep its pretty easy. But not for everyone of course. I wish i knew someone local that had a lnl press now. Would love to go try one just for comparison. Most people here have rcbs stufff its heavily supported ate the lgs here. The box lgs here has both red and blue but they push blue because of the CS. It's really good. Although i have toured the Horaday factory in NE and they too are outstanding people but not sure what the warranty is.

Great thread!

Only addition I would add is that the brass cleans up better and your press doesn't get as cruddy particularly if you reload rifle rounds, if you deprime your brass using a universal decapper and a cheap single stage press like the Lee Reloader ($30 on Amazon)

Absolutely! Sometimes gets messy reloading pistol rounds. When I do reload I do it all at once. So I do my 45 then go right into my 10MM. If I have any 357/38 to do for my FIL I will then do that. I only like cleaning up once. I very rarely do 40 because of the primer change over so I only do that once every 2 years or so. Just save up stuff.

I will someday start reloading rifle again but will not do it on the Dillon. I would get another Lee classic press for that. 20-30 rounds in a single stage is not a big deal. 1000 rounds in a single stage would drive me bonkers!
