RL550 w/Hornady Lock N Load Powder Measure
Quote from Mikhail2400 on September 17, 2024, 2:16 amMight catch a little hate for this one but here goes. When my dad passed I found his old 550 that I hadnt seen since the 1990s and got it running. Dillon sent me a new lower link arm pin free of charge and I basically bought a new powder measure with all the new parts. I never liked the Dillon powder measure though so eventually I bought a Hornady Lock N Load.
It worked like it was designed for the Dillon, gave consistent loads and didnt make a mess. I had never reloaded in my life before then but once I had it running like a champ I loaded everything from 9mm to 257 Roberts, 375Win, 300Blk, 5.56 and more. Now I want to get a set of 25-20W.C.F.dies and brass to reload for a Winchester Model 1892 that was built in 1918.
I was surprised at how much I enjoyed reloading once I had it running right. All the work I did getting it back to new like condition also gave me a much better understanding for when things go wrong. Basically I guess im wondering if theres many of you also using the Lock N Load system.
Have a good day!!!
