My only request is that Dillon grind wrench flats at the base of the roller handle to make it easier to cinch down.

Can you say ergonomics?
I have the roller handle on both my 550s - purchased from our host I might add.
And as I think about it I believe Brian asked this question when I ordered mine.....
I used the ballhead handle for "Several" thousand rounds. I purchased the roller handle upon the advise of a friend who has one. I do not lube my cases before loading and the apparent effort of the "stroke"seems reduced by over 50% with the roller handle.
I am a believer!
The brass ring is not in reach everytime the merry go round makes a circlebut...when it is, be ready to stretch way out and GRAB IT.

Brian, thanks for ALL of your HELP getting me up and running!
In case any of yohaahve not ordered from Brian, he is AWESOME. I had a major SNAFU, and Brian seriously took care of me, even though it was my mistake.
I am a customer for life, hope you guys support our host too!
Thanks again Brian!!!!!

As much as everyone here respects Dillon, I think they charge a little too much for the handle and the various accessories. They should make it a stock item.
I did buy them from Brian. Service was topnotch.

The strong mount and the bullet tray have also improved my loading process. Once again though, I didn’t know what I was really missing until I got them.

Two bottles of Celebrex, a week of phys. therapy, 5 months and a new bottle of Glucosamine Condroiten and it's almost back to normal.

Upgraded the 550 with the strong mount and bullet tray when I built my new bench. When I ordered, Brian mentioned that there was a new item that hadn't made the web site yet, a brass bin. Oh heck, throw that in too, and while you're at it one of those roller handle thingys with the metal roller.
The strong mount, bullet tray, and brass bin are nice additions. Speeds up the loading process by economy of motion. The roller handle however ...whoohoo. No more blisters. No more sore arms after long reloading sessions. Well worth the money for me.
People who order a new press ought to have the choice of ball or roller as a no charge option.

I told him that's the part of the press that he is actually holding/handling all the time while he is reloading. I feel one can skim on other features of a Dillon but a aluminum roller handle is a "Must have".

You might not be able to guess how many times I've heard that.
And on the subject of "overpriced accessories/machine options," my feeling, and this is just my opinion and does not in any way have anything to do with Dillon's marketing strategy, is that they do everything they can to keep the initial price of the machine as low as possible, with the hope of recovering a little profit with the sale of accessories. Really, the 650 "should be" sold with the Casefeeder, Roller Handle, Strong Mount, and Bullet Tray; however, after selling their products for several years, I do feel that would reduce the 650's sales.

It all seems "overpriced" until you're the guy writing the 20, 50 and 100 thousand dollar checks to launch new products.
