how much use has this seen?

Appears minimal based on the spots that typically evidence wear. Set up for large primer and small powder bar now, the small primer arm and large powder bar look to be unused. Its a really nice, clean press with everything they come with new, including a working low primer alarm.

These will do hundreds of thousands of rounds with minimal care.
If something wears out or breaks, call Dillon and their service department is superlative.
From my eye, it looks hardly used. Whoever owned it left powder in the hopper, which causes the discoloration of the plastic.

I have the exact same press. I am considering a second. Having a hard time keeping up with demand.

I have the exact same press. I am considering a second. Having a hard time keeping up with demand.

It is nice to have a couple Dillons if you have the bench space. I leave one set up for small primer, and one large primer, and generally keep each set up for the calibers I most commonly load. I have separate tool heads with dies and multiple powder measures for the various handgun rounds I load for, so it is quick and easy to change over either press as needed with the swap of the shell plate/locator buttons and tool head.

The 550 I load on is well used. My Dad purchased it in the 1980s and it is still going strong. This one is in really nice condition and hasn't been used much. Was thinking I would give it to my Brother, but it turns out he isn't as interested in getting started reloading in the near term as I though he may be, so I'm offering it up for someone who will put it to use.
