Description

Dillon Precision RL550C Progressive Reloading Machine – Built for Accuracy, Speed, and Versatility The Dillon Precision RL550C is the ultimate reloading press for those who demand precision, consistency, and control. This progressive reloading machine is one of the most versatile options on the market, capable of reloading over 160 calibers, including both handgun and rifle cartridges—from .32 ACP to .460 Weatherby Magnum. Whether you’re loading for competition, hunting, or any other applications, the RL550C offers unmatched adaptability and performance. Unlike other reloading presses, the RL550C gives you full control with its manual indexing system. This feature allows you to pause between stages and inspect each round at every step—ideal for reloaders who value safety, flexibility, and customization. Whether you're a beginner or seasoned handloader, the RL550C gives you the confidence to produce match-grade ammo with repeatable accuracy. Precision is at the heart of the RL550C. Its four-station setup enables you to resize and deprime, prime, charge powder, seat bullets, and crimp—all in one fluid, progressive cycle. Thanks to its case-activated powder measure and adjustable seating/crimping dies, you'll achieve exact bullet depth and charge weights that meet the tightest tolerances. This machine delivers reloading speed without compromising precision. The RL550C also features quick caliber change capability, with interchangeable toolheads that let you keep your dies pre- set. Spend less time on setup and more time reloading. Compatible with any standard 7/8” x 14 dies, it gives you full flexibility to use Dillon dies or your favorite brands. Please note: Dies sold separately. Proudly made in the USA, the RL550C is built to last and supported by Dillon’s legendary customer service. Whether you're reloading thousands of rounds a month or preparing a custom batch for your next match, the RL550C delivers performance, reliability, and craftsmanship you can trust.

  • He loved it!
Size: 45ACP
At first I was disappointed because the 500 series didn’t come with all the bells and whistles....until I realized the step up was basically buying all the upgrades with one less motion. He explained to me you don’t need or want everything at once navies you may be loading a very specific kind of ammo. I would recco two accessories for this at the top of your add on list. 1. the strong mount raises it up and gives a better motion for lots of ammo. It also attaches to the bench better and gives you room for the accessories. 2. The roll handle will help out your hand and arm if you are doing hundreds or thousands of rounds. ... show more

  • Best reloading press on the market today.
Size: 45ACP
The Dillon 550 C is a heave duty press. Runs smooth with very little problems. All of which have been operator error. You can’t go wrong with the Dillon press

Size: 45ACP
The Dillon 550 press is a great press. However it is overpriced on Amazon. You can get the same press directly from Dillon Precision for $589.00 which also includes the dies and caliber conversion.

  • Buy one
Size: 45ACP
If you have the money just buy it you won't regret anything. There's a reason why people like these. If the 550 is out of your range then there are other options from other manufactures. I love the manual indexing and I added a Hornady collet bullet drop in 45 and 9mm they work great one these. Keep the primer and bullet tubes filled and easily load 400+ per hour. With my T-7 200 per hour was max if nothing went wrong but of course that seldom happened. The T-7 is a really good press the 550 is leaps above it. ... show more

I love the machine but the picture on Amazon shows all the trays with it but only comes with one. The others are over 100.
