Rocky, and others
I work up loads for alot of different gun and and the 550 Dillon is far faster than a single stage press. I load 5 round and fire them out the back door. I go back in and set the powder for 1 gn. more and load 5 more and shoot them out the back door. I really set up a table outside the garage to shoot from and it works grear. I check the groups with my spotting scope and the cases for presure signs. If no signs of presure and the groups are getting smaller I walk about 50 ft to the press, turn the powder adj. screw 1 flat and load 5 more rounds. This gives me just about enough time to keep from over heating the barrel on most guns, but with some hotter rounds the burn alot of powder I still have to wait.
As for accuracy I'm convinced that the Dillon press will do a better job for most reloader than they will do on a single stage press. IF you stay with ball powders, powder measures don`t do well with extruded powders.
