Dillon Reloading Machines BL 550 Basic Loader Specifications: The BL 550 is essentially an RL550B without the automatic priming and powder systems. Capable of loading more than 160 calibers- just like the RL550B- it uses any manufacturers' standard 7/8"-14 reloading dies. It's priced comparably with other manufacturers' turret presses; yet unlike them, it's fully upgradeable to Dillon's Progressive RL550B loader! The interchangeable toolhead makes it quick, easy and inexpensive to change calibers. For example, if you load 30-06 for elk,.243 for deer and.22-250 for coyote, you don't even have to change the shellplate. You simply pull two pins and swap the toolhead with your 30-06 dies to another toolhead with your.22-250 or.243 dies in less than 30 seconds! Once you get your dies set you'll never have to re-set them. the BL550. A powder measure adapter is available if you want to use a manual measure that you already own. Or, if you want to weigh every powder charge you load, it's easyyou can use a powder trickler with the powder die/ funnel assembly that comes with Options: RL550B Caliber Conversion Kits - See listing of available calibers under 550B Conversion Kits. - Roller handle - available in plastic, or aluminum grip, reduces fatigue during long reloading sessions. - Strong mount - if your bench is either too low for comfortable use, or you need to access drawers underneath, the strong mount elevates the entire machine above your bench top.
