[QUOTE="Engineman1960, post: 3418497, member: 9220"] I started off with a used Dillon 550 I got off of Ebay. (I bought a setup that was 10 years old) He included his original invoice. I paid him what he paid, it came with extras, but I thought I got an excellent deal, compared if I bought new. I wanted to reload 9MM; .40 S&W and .45ACP for handgun and .223 for rifle. The 550 was a great fit for me. Dillon had an excellent VHS Tape (that how long ago I bought it) I believe they have a DVD or even youtube. Dillon's technical assistance is excellent, they even replaced broken pieces (the follower rod and the buzzer alert housing for the primer alarm) for free. The even replaced my balance beam scale housing (it would not zero) I told them I bought all this stuff used -- It didn’t matter !!! You have to look at your budget and your realistic goals; I didn’t buy case gauges initially (I took the barrel off my Glock's and used it as a case gauge). The initially setup came with a Dillon caliper set. I had a NSK caliper set that I bought years earlier for work -- found a used Starrett caliper set at a OKC Pawn shop for $25. My advise, do your research, ask questions -- do I need this? -- Why do I need this? -- If it doesn’t look right or feel right, stop and try to figure out why !!!! Good luck on your quest !!!!!
