I've been getting a lot of articles with subjects like: "For mod.rec.guns" and "Re: For mod.rec.guns"(!) that force me to scan the article and try and decide on a more descriptive title. I'd appreciate it if everyone would try to be a bit more descriptive in their subject lines. The fact that you send the postings to guns@greipa is enough for me to know what's intended (even if sent to me, It's not too hard to figure out!). Now. I've been thinking about getting a 'progressive' reloader for some time and have finally seen something I liked. The Dillon 550 (a 450 with some 'fixes' and user requested enhancements). Has anyone out there used this equipment? My major want is something easy to use, fast and with a reliable powder measure (read RELIABLE). Any feedback on this or other reloaders would be appreciated. Info on cheap brass tumblers would also be appreciated. Thanks.

It sounds like a great reloader. The only negative aspect mentioned is that the powder measure might have problems with some types of powders, either "lincoln log" or "very fine" types. -eric
