I am seeing BLUE!! - The Firearms Forum

Gahunter12 · 12-30-2011, 07:12 PM

My RL550b is on it's way! Should have it by the end of next week. I got the press, Strng mount, extra primer tubes, dies. I passed on the bullet tray and empty case bin. All I need now is a tumbler and ammo components.

Good deal. Did you get it locally or did you mail order (online)? Did you ever get over to Sporting Arms?

woolleyworm · 12-30-2011, 11:50 PM

Congrats !! What's your first load going to be?

ozo · 12-31-2011, 06:14 AM

Did ya get the roller handle ????

There's several options for that press and it will only be a matter of time before you opt for bullet tray, roller handle, extra bins, etc. These items "do" make reloading easier. The important thing is you got a great press that will out last you not to mention the excellent warranty and outstanding customer service. Have years of enjoyment.

I ordered it online. Sporting Arms had one cheaper, but it didn't come with the Cal conversion kit. He will be getting my business on guns and some reloading supplies. I am carrying my wife shopping for her EDC. We are going check him out first. Thanks gdmoody!

40s&w to start with. Once my wife figures out what she wants, I will add that cal. Once I get going with them I will add my 4 rifle cals also.

I don't see a powder scale mentioned or a loading manual. Those two are essential items BEFORE YOU LOAD A SINGLE ROUND.

Congrates on entering the field of handloading!

Now get your read on!

I agree with that 100%
I bought the blue long before the red was as good as it is today.
6 of 1, half dozen of the other, these days.

Oops. I guess I should have added I already have the Lyman 49th, and Lee's manual since last Feb. I picked up the Hornady manual two weeks ago. I also ordered the Dillon Eliminator balance beam scale when I ordered the press!

I should be receiving my bullet puller, primer pocket cleaner from midway this week. The only thing I have left on my list is a tumbler/ media, and ammo components. I plan on starting on my bench Monday!
