I think you might be better off with a 12ga pistol. I dont think half of the powder would burn from a 50. Not to mention a nice headache.

I have to disagree.... we have some pretty snappy powders out there that only require a short pipe to burn completely up.

I think one of the best things to do is look for estate sales and garage sales. You will get some great advice and deals. I picked up a rock chucker, rcbs case trimmer and a few dies for $80.

Good job, sounds like what I just said on the other thread.... except I'd still go for a turret.

Get a wheel on your front monopod so it's easier too run in the woods and put a foot peg on the front too control recoil!

A turret over a progressive will give you more control and a decent volume. One could get 3 or 4 single presses with a lock exchange "Lock n Load" once you get your set up.

Never have used the Lock n Load but I do like the turret press and the ease of changing a head out.
With 8 die slots there are a lot of options. Have all of the caliber tooling installed means they aren't getting misplaced. I have a concern will the die tooling fit in the original box for storage with Lock n Load attached?
IMHO!!!

I couldn't find a plate for Dillon on the fn57, so I bought a single stage and it's dainty!

Do you know if you can interchange the 6 and 8?

I toyed with the Dillion, 550. But after looking in to it I found that progressives do take some tuning up to get everything synchronized. Some folks can even relate horror stories on the time it took to set a run up. I figure I can have a couple hundred loaded, at least, while they are tinkering!
I still have the offer of a Dillion 550 for $200. I dislike talking about it as I keep thinking I ought to just jump on it. That way I can be a Dillion owner too. Leave it in the box under the reloading bench!!.

I would have to bet no that they aren't interchangeable.
Different diameter so different indexing.....
