Well I am tossing around the idea of investing in a progressive press. This probably won't take place until some point this summer (I am going to wait until I teach a few more classes and use my proceeds from that to buy the press. I am trying to keep my shooting a self sustaining hobby).
I am a bit confused about what exactly I will need for the 550B. I plan to reload mainly pistol and .223 on the Dillon. I am probably going to stick to the classic cast press for the 30-06. By the time I buy the Dillon, I will already own the Lee Deluxe Carbide die sets for .38/.357, .40S&W, and likely 9mm and .45. I also have the 4 die .223 set from lee (Includes factory crimp). The whole various shell plates, locator buttons, etc stuff is confusing me. If it is ok, I will probably continue to use my Lee Pro Auto-Disk for pistol powder charging (with the lee charge and flare die), and use the dillon powder measure for the .223. Would there be any problem with this?
Thanks,
Mike
