I’m thinking of replacing my Dillon 550 with a turret press. What are some pros/cons? What is your favorite? I’m not too concerned about press priming as I use a hand primer for that. Thanks

I would think twice about replacing the Dillon if I were you
a 550 can make very precise ammo With that said, if you're looking for the best turret press, the best one I know of is the Area 419 Zero Press |

I have the old Lyman T Mag turret press. Works well and I like having to only set dies one time.

Looks like I’ll go for the T7. I think they’re $399 new. I’m looking for a lightly used one at this time.

The biggest factor in reloading precision ammo is the reloader themselves. That is for sure 100%.
I load on my T-7 very accurate ammo. But, when I shot NRA HP XC. My dillon 450 turned out ammo that was just as good as the M852. Manually cycling of the PM I think helped a lot. And, perhaps having the sold toolhead may have helped? By far the Redding T-7 is the best. Lyman came out with new Turret press a few years ago, and it you look at sort has the looks of a T-7. |
