It's here (Dillon Casefeeder)....

[AggieMM]

It arrived yesterday!!!! Got a casefeeder for my Dillion 550b for Christmas (late present from family). Can't wait to install it this weekend.

Any 550b/casefeeder folks out there have any installation tips they'd like to share? Any "gotchas" that I need to be looking out for? Thanks.

I got one for Christmas too!

I love it, you'll be cranking out a lotta ammo now that ytou don't have to stop to feed the brass tube.

One think I've done is to mount a small make-up mirror over the hopper to allow me to see into it. Helps me see when I need to dump more brass in.

That's one thing I don't have on my 550... Make sure y'all have the roller handle, as it makes a big difference!

I need to get one of those on order... although I still can't load 32 H&R because my new case feeder wouldn't have any cases to feed.

I have been thinking aboutone of these, let meknow howyou like it!
Can you load faster

[AggieMM]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Don't know how I ever loaded without one. Here are my thoughts:

• Initial setup/installation was easy, but took several hours to "fine-tune" it. I had problems with the case in station one bouncing out of alignment after getting resized, prior to getting the primer. After getting it adjusted, it works great, but allow yourself some time that first time you load after installing the casefeeder.
• Loading 500 rounds takes less than 1/2 the time it did before, I'm flying through it. Now I think it takes me longer to setup and teardown, than the actual time to load.
• I'm not as tired after loading 500. Used to be I'd be worn out after 500, but now my arms and brain are MUCH more relaxed. In fact, I usually only load 500 at a time, but this weekend I did 1200 rounds with no issues.
• Your right hand never moves from the handle, and you only have to focus on station 2-3. These two factors make it very easy to load now. Because you never take your eyes off station 2-3, the odds of double charging are significantly reduced. This to me makes the loading process much less stressful.

I highly recommend it, and wish I had bought it sooner.
