Do you have many issues loading 380? Out of all the calibers I load I seem to have more crushed cases with 380 than everything else put together.That's just the 380 we need to process, looks more impressive in the drum. Fiber drums are full too, it will take a few days to run it all.

Wish I had three machines to run it like 9mm.

Stood up as opposed to sitting down and got started on the new to me Dillon RL550B. Ran thru a little over 200 rounds with only 2 hiccups. One my fault (didn't seat primer) and the other a case fault (primer would not seat all the way). Didn't get in a hurry just going slow and figuring out how to do it and get a rhythm going. So far pleased. I was wondering how the manual indexing would work as opposed to automatic and I think I like it. It's not much slower but allows you to back up the cases in case of gotchas. There were several as I got used to it.
Standing because with the Strong Mount the loader is in the clouds. My head is just above the main part and no way to check the powder in the case visually. My bench is a standard workbench 36" tall and great for working on but the Strong Mount raises the loader 8.5". Minor problem for the convenience of having the bullet tray, case tray, and loaded round tray all attached to the loader.
I caught it after weighing completed rounds
They make this light for the top of the Dillon tool head:

But I just bought this one at Academy and ran it up the back of the press so I could see the powder.

Probably could make a killing selling turrets and caliber conversions if you had the right stuff. Charge 10% less than Dillon and everyone would buy them.
