Video for new reloaders

This is reputedly a useful vid for those new to reloading or planning it. Part one for a 550B Dillon.

excellent. I'll probably be ordering one within a couple of weeks here...

Very good video. I also found another on YouTube that I found to be very useful. It showed setting up the dies on a 550B for the first time. It was a four part video.

Here is a link to the first one: YouTube - dillon 550b toolhead setup 1/4

Wow... thanks for the videos! I watched all 5. I've been thinking about getting into reloading. I'm sure its cheaper over time, it would give me a hobby at home and I'd probably go shooting more since it won't be as expensive.

I have a Dillon 550B. Anyone having problems setting up PM me and I will try to help out if I can. I might add that some people do not like progressive loaders because they say they are not as accurate. I make it a habit to reload 9, then check the 10th round. If the 10th one is good then I proceed with 10 more. But if the 10th one is bad, then all I have to do is set 10 to the side, not 100. Also one must be careful as the only problems I encountered with this is the primers wanting to set sideways. Then when you try to remove the round and start over, you must watch to be sure you do not get 2x powder charge. Other than that they are great. And yes, it is cheaper. I can reload 300 rounds for the same cost as 100 at WalMart

If you set a bullet on the case in station two after you charge the case, you can't double charge. Here's a video I made on the procedure. This is when I had strep throat and a sinus infection so I sound weird.
