The Dillon 55C is a basic progressive reloading press popular among competitive shooters. I show how to set up the press and reload 9mm. This is for my reloading students, to show the usual procedures for reloading pistol cartridges with the Dillon 550C. I now prefer to prime off the press rather than using the on-press method shown here, but that is a topic for another future video.
