Would you consider a reloader unbalanced if he had a Dillon 1050 set up to load 45 ACP with large primers, a Dillon 550 set up to load 45 ACP with small primers, AND another Dillon 550 set up to load 45 Auto Rim? Looking down the bench I see a Dillon 550 set up for 9mm, a Dillon SDB set up for 38 Super, a Dillon 550 Set up for 38 Special, a Dillon SDB set up for 32 S&W Long, a Dillon SDB set up for 38 Short Colt, a Dillon 550 set up for 300BO, and a Dillon 550 set up for 44 Special. Didn't happen overnight. My first Dillon was a 450 that became a 550 when they came out. The rest seemed to just slowly seep in. Last week caught myself looking at the spacing of the loaders on the bench and wondering if another might fit. Maybe just one more....

Are they in order by caliber and equally spaced?

Unbalanced? No.... Blessed? Yes.

Sounds like some reasonable challenges have been put forth here.
You know - if you have to respace and square things, any extra mounting-hole showing might necessitate a sheet of stainless on the bench-top to keep primers from falling through. I'd have the supplier break the front edge up just a fuzz so they cases and bullets don't roll off.  |

Frankford Arsenal seems to turn out some special stuff but I'm too deep into Dillon to turn back now... Of course I do have the required RCBS Rockchucker from reloading day one and a Redding Ultra Mag from back before they enlarged the Rockchucker. Then somewhere there is a Lyman Turret for 458 SOCOM and 32-30 and a Hornady Progressive set up to process 556 brass.. Ooops, forgot that Hornady 12 gauge loader back in the back...  |

Only 10 Dillon presses? Heck,, I don't think that's OCD at all!  I knew a guy once into competition who had 5 Dillons set up so he'd never have to change any adjustments. I was always in a bit of awe at his set-up. |

I have loaded from a Rockchucker since the 70's. Just got my first progressive a few weeks ago. Pro 1000. Love it so far.
Sounds like I need to avoid Dillon if blue is that addictive!

Setting up one for 45acp with a small primer is a bit much. Toss those cases in the trash!
