Right, and reloading becomes a hobby in itself. When you need some quality quiet and alone time, go to the loading bench. Also, cooking up some exotic loads with different projectiles gets fun too, then you test them and see how accurate/hot you can get them. Its addicting. One thing I do enjoy very much about the 550B is the ease of caliber changes. Get yourself a new tool head for each caliber and changing from one caliber to the next takes seconds.

Amen to that.

I had a lot of fun loading some 100gr .380 bullets in 9mm cases since they are the same diameter. I made them super hot with Power Pistol powder and the fireball they make is quite impressive.

Once I have enough space, I will be investing in a Dillon. Everyone who uses a Dillon seems to love it but I just don't have the space for a progressive press right now unfortunately.

Very true. I don't recall the last deer I killed using factory rounds. In addition, a LOT of my pistols are not loaded by the factory or they're unavailable even when supplies are normal. Case in point, two of my favorite prairie dog hunting guns, XP-100's in 22 Rem Bench Rest and 6mm Rem BR.
