I have had my RL550 for almost 40 years and originally purchased it to produce 44 magnum ammo.
I also wanted to craft 375 H&H ammo more efficiently.
I found out that the 550 made it easy to set my dies and use it as a single-stage machine, loading one shell at a time. Over the years I have tried to improve my rifle loads by sorting brass by weight, individual weighing of powder charges, tightly controlling projectile depth, and now measuring neck and projectile runout.
My 223/5.56mm rounds are completed in the usual progressive method.
My question is: Is anyone else using these techniques to improve the accuracy of their rifle loads?
