Dillon's automatic-indexing progressive reloader designed to load moderate quantities of common handgun calibers from .32 S&W to .4f5 Colt. 

It comes to you from the factory set to load one caliber. 

Dillon's Basic Loader 550 is the  RL550B stripped down to its most basic form. 

The BL550 adds a whole new dimension of versatility for the shooter/ hunter who wants to feed several rifles.

The most versatile reloader available, capable of loading over 160 calibers. An automatic casefeeder is available for handgun calibers. 

Manual indexing and an optional magnum powder bar allow you to load magnum rifle calibers. 

Truly the state of the art, Dillon's XL650 features automatic indexing, an optional automatic casefeeder and a separate station for an optional powder-level sensor.

Available in most  pistol and rifle calibers.

Dillon's commercial machine, the Super 1050 evolved from the original RL1050. 

It now features a lengthened frame and new crank assembly, increasing stroke length for rifle cartridges, with minimum handle stroke for high production.

Dillon's SL900 is the new standard in shotshell reloading! 

The SL900 features easily adjustable, case activated powder and shot dispensing systems that eliminate troublesome bushing changes, along with spilled powder and shot.
