Dang, man! You got the whole shootin' match there.
I've been adding to mine for 4 years now and haven't gotten that far.

Congrats. You're gonna love it.  ;)

Well done, my Lee Pro 1000 now collects dust on a high shelf.
I have both a 550 and a 450 Dillon,
just the other day i needed to load a few with a different powder and oal
i marvelled at the speed of producing 30 odd cartridges
with little effort.
Good on yer' mate!

Now how do i position myself to operate both at the same time ?   ::)  ;D

You know, of course, that the human eye can't focus on red and blue at the same time.

So one of those has got to go !   ;D

Not disrespecting your house cleaning abilities or any such, but in 6 months I bet you'll be able to measure the dust layer on that Lee unit in inches.

Hi Max
I have been reloading for a while and I have tested these sd reloads extensively. So, yes the first batch of ammo on my Dillon where sd rounds.  ;)
