BL 550

Dillon, et al,

I am glad to see the BL 550 being a new option for reloading.

I have a question - how much will it cost to eventually upgrade a BL 550 to an RL 550B?

Thanks,

I just did the math on upgrading a BL 550 to an RL 550...about 60 bucks more than to just buy an RL 550. RL 550: $420. But when you buy the upgrades for a BL 550, the cost is $480. So, RL 550 makes more sense.

Must've made a mistake - I did the math too and came up with a value that was less - I will redo. It is nice though (I think) that Dillon has introduced this. A lot in California really gut-wrench on the starting costs of reloading - this will hopefully help them make their minds up easier. A lot don't want a progressive initially because they are 'scared'.
