[QUOTE="Rustystud, post: 1615407, member: 9964"] I own one 450B, two 550B, and one one 1050, and one Super 1050 Dillon Presses. My 1050 and Super 1050 have Mark 7 digital drives. Quality brass and brass prep is paramount in quality reloading. Accurate powder measuring is second in importance. Never had a Dillon powder measure throw better than plus or minus .01 of a grain on a 100 rounds. Out to 600 yards that can provide you with a plus or minus 1.moa accuracy. For someone shooting iron sights that may be good enough. I load hundreds of thousand rounds for customers with that known expectation. For benchrest and long range I use my 550B loaders as a turrent loader instead of a progressive. I process my brass in steps and measure my powder on a digital scale, double checking each load to less than .01. My 6 BRX loads 32.6 grains shoot chronograph less than 6 feet per second and regularly shoot sub .5 moa at 1000 yards. I load .223 Rem., .243 Win., 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm/47, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5/47 and .308 Win all on my Supper 1050. All will shoot 1 moa if the shooter and his equipment do their part. I use John Widden's floating tool heads on my most accurate loading. I have considered making a floating die toolhead for my Super 1050. Nat Lambeth [/QUOTE]
