Overview
The Dillon RL550C is the progressive for the reloader who loads many calibers rather than one in bulk. Its four stations index by hand, which sounds like a downgrade from auto-indexing but is the source of its versatility: manual indexing means the shellplate, toolhead, and powder die swap as a unit, and the machine supports more than 160 pistol and rifle cartridges from .32 ACP to belted magnums. A reloader who runs 9mm, .223, .308, and .45 ACP changes between them faster and cheaper on a 550 than on any auto-indexing press. Output still reaches about 500 rounds per hour once you settle into a rhythm. Dillon backs it with the no-questions lifetime warranty that built the brand, and the machine is direct-only through Dillon and the Dillon Amazon storefront.
