Good solide press. I have owned a couple. Dillon can upgrade it to 550 specs very cost effectively. The manual primer system works, it just adds another step.
Would make a great dedicated .223 press. |

I keep an eye out. I’d like one to set up for 45 only.

Set it up for 1 cartridge and be done with it. Change over time is too long.
Running my RL-450 since 1979. First used to load for an M16 till 2011. Now just 45 acp. My 223 shell plate gave a different head to datum sizing from each station. Check bottle neck cases with a comparitor. |

Forgot to mention the powder funnels are different than current ones.

NICE
Have a couple of partly complete 450 units Plan to restore one at least to original spec. with the manual primer system & manual powder bar as & when parts show up to allow that Had thought about using one as a dedicated case prep unit The other may end up as a dedicated 338 LM press |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Really? 450 is essentially a 550 with fixed tool head (more consistant OAL length compared to 550)... 450 has manual prime feed,, swap it to 550 450 has fixed base measure / manual bar operation... swap it to new style measure 450 uses 550 caliber kits,, disregard the funnel comment I have 2 bare 450 frame myself, bought a BL-550 (cheaper than the bottom parts from DILLON),, might strip if of ram & links to assemble 1 of the 450 frame,, still undecided |
