Loading for F-Class with a Dillon 550 & Prometheus 2

^^^^ Life changing right there. My buddy @Chris Few turned me on to Scotts methodology. Like many it took several conversations and questions before I switched earlier this year but it was the best thing I've done. It does cause a strange and uneasy feeling however when talking to other shooters because it's easy to feel like 'less than' when you see the looks people people give you when you tell them how you load. I've had people tune me out because I'm not using an arbor press which somehow makes me a lesser shooter in their eyes or that I don't know how to reload properly. It's like they feel I'm cheating or not taking it seriously because I'm not using in-line dies...but scores matter more to me than peoples opinions. That being said I've been a huge proponent of using the Dillon and have helped people move that way too if they ask how.

I have more time back than you can imagine and I'm shooting better than I have in the last two years. Even for remote matches I'll still load using the Dillon but load long and use a portable arbor to do a final seat. I can't thank @Scott Harris enough for his help which has in turn made me a better shooter in many ways.

This is great article. My wife and I are high volume shooters in both F-class and PRS and we adopted using a automated dillon 1050 a couple years back just to help in some of the simple stuff like De-priming and priming. I do resize my brass for our PRS guns on the dillon as well.
