[QUOTE="Viggen, post: 270611, member: 16623"] I have been using Dillon 550's for the past nine years for various pistol calibers and 223. Great for pistol, OK for rifle. With the standard setup you are not going to get a real consistent powder charge. Can't say why but after years of using them that's just the way things are. The rifle ammo can be accurate enough for things like High Power or or 3-Gun - staying under 500 or 600 yards with big targets but it's not near the qulity of ammo made on a single stage. As for Tubbs and the 550 - he is a great shooter and can maybe run looser on certain things than most folks because of his great ability. And with the 550 I still do resize and deprime on a single-stage, then case prep. For bigger medium calibers I would stay with the single stage instead of a Dillon. A friend loading 7-08 on the 550 ran into problems with the shellplate bending or tearing out. [/QUOTE]
