[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1886654, member: 59036"] Get a Dillon and be done with it. I've owned and used a RCBS Rockchucker for over forty years. I bought my first Dillon 450 inthe early 80's and upgraded it to the 550 and later to the 550B. I have since bought another 550B and a 650. My Rockchucker has since be relegated to mostly case forming and trimming. All my loading is done on my Dillons. When I want to weigh individual loads I still do it on my 550. I size, deprime, and prime on station one. Station two has a die body that secures the powder funnel so I move the case there, weigh the powder, dump it, move to station three, seat the bullet, and move to to station four and crimp if necessary. Or after you prime, move the cases to a tray and weigh all powder charges and then put them in station two or three to seat the bullet.I try to use ball, flake or fine grain powder as much as possible. The Dillon powder measure is surprisingly accurate with these powders.I use my 650 mostly for high quanity reloading for pistol or .223 because of the case feeder. I believe that the 550 is more versatile and if I can only have one, that's the what I would have. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
