[QUOTE="Termite I, post: 3096502, member: 115860"] I the way I reload rifle rounds on my 550's isn't the way Dillon intended them to be used but it works and is still faster than on a single stage press. I deprime on a Lee APP press then tumble in either SS chips or corn cob with Nu Finish. Then I resize and trim to length if needed. I run the cases in corn cob with Nu Finish again to get the lube off then prime the cases using a bench top primer, not the Dillon. For plinking ammo I'll use the Dillon powder measure with powders like TAC, ones that won't bridge and give inconsistent throws. For precision loads I use a V4 to measure the powder. I have two tool heads for each caliber, one for sizing the brass and another for seating the bullet and crimping if needed. [/QUOTE]
