I am wanting someone who has used both to give me the
pros and cons of rcbs vs dillon automatic reloaders.
I have an rcbs piggyback but it seems to be rather rickity.
And I would also like to know if all my rcbs dies will work with
a dillon set up
Thanks
Eric

  Eric,
  
  First, I haven't used the piggyback RCBS. I do have a Green Machine, and it has its problems (guess that is why they quit making it), but, in my opinion it is still a good machine. I also have a Dillon 550. I have less problems with the Dillon. RCBS dies will work on a Dillon head.

  Eric.... I have used both RCBS and Dillon. Although RCBS is a good machine, Dillon is even better and carries a no-nonsence warranty. If you break it, even out of stupidity or carelessness, they will replace it.
  
  I have 2 RCBS Juniors I have loaded thousands of rounds on over the years, and they still serve well for small jobs.
  
  I have a Dillon XL 650 for rifle and handgun ammo, and a Dillon 900 for my shotgun ammo, and they are both awesome machines.
  
  My wife bought the 900 for a christmas gift 2 years ago, and I have been very happy with it.
  Dillon has a help line for answering your questions and helping to solve any problems you might have.
  
  Your dies should fit the Dillon machines. You can call them at 800-223-4570 to make sure.
  
  Happy loading

  i also have had both. the dillon is faster and a bit easier to set up. their warranty service is great. i still have my rcbs with the piggyback kit tho. ive never been able to break it. also being able to remove the piggyback unit and load for my barrett is a plus. either is a good machine.
