Come on down

I might just take you up on that!! Wonder how much it'd cost to reload a couple hundred rounds of this stuff..

Its just older technology. That light was introduced around 2006 IIRC. It was crazy bright for the time.

I wonder if I can get an LX2 with the dimmer light. Hmmm

I don't have dies though unless they take the same dies as .45acp which I highly doubt

They make one. Its called the L2.

Seriously though, you could look into swappable parts, as many Surefire parts can be swapped and moved around.

No, they don't -- which press do you have. I'd just buy my own dies.

Mind you, I have no clue how to set them

I didn't see anything on their site. I might have to email an authorized dealer or something. I'd rather have the longer battery life with the lower power light.

Dillon RL550B, I'm betting the conversion kit is different too.

Conversion kit?

That's the same press I wanted to buy!! I love everything I've heard about Dillon.

Some light reading *snicker*

Surefire L2 vs. L4 runtime

I see what you did there

I have 9mm dies

You would really only need a toolhead and not the tool head stand (I'd recommend it though) and the powder dispenser can be easily switched. to the other dies.

But, if I was planning on buying my own press... would I be better off buying all that, for each caliber that is..

For all my calibers I only have the toolhead, stand, dies, conversion kit. I swap the powder dispenser. It really only takes about 2 minutes. But if you bought it you could leave powder in it and just swap toolhead which would take about 20 seconds

 

[tonhe]

Where do you think the best place to find a used Dillon press would be? I may be up for buying one this year...
