Skinny, if you get a Dillon you will soon find yourself building a room on your house just to store your ammo in. I`ve been loading on a 550 Dillon since the 1980`s. Their powder measure is very accurate with ball powders and as good as any with stick powder. ( I`ve never found one that worked well) The quality of the ammo you load will be as good as with your Rock Chucker, I`ve proved that to a loa of non belivers. I usually don`t worry about the lube, but I have been know to wipe it off and even tumble it.

I've been giving some thought toadding the set up to load .223's on my Dillon. The lubing and sizing of the brass has been where I held off doing it. I think the best was may just be doing the resizing on my Rockchucker, tumbling th brass to remove the lube and do the finish work on the Dillon. It's a couple of extra steps but I think I'd rather do it that way than have to either wip off all those shells at the end or have to tumble loaded ammo. I don't think that's such a good idea. Might be interesting to call Dillon and ask what they think.
