    More leverage for a dillon

    I was talking with one of my shooting buddies and he is disabled due to back injuries .
    He currently loads mostly on a dillon 550 or lyman t-mag depending what he is loading . He is having problems when he is forming some wildcats and full length sizing some brass .
    What we were talking about is adding a air ram to his 550 and a way to control the speed of the stroke and be able to stop at any point .
    Looking for suggestions or if there is a kit for sale ? If not then maybe a press with a huge machenical advantage ?

    Thanks for the quick response and That would do the trick ,The only glitch i see is the price . It would be nice to have one that would adapt to one of his excisting presses . I think if somebody came up with a simple and affordable setup maybe run on air there is a true market for it.

        I think his best option is more lube and figuring out what height for sitting and standing works best for him.

        He should also look into the different types of handles. I know inline fabrication makes a couple. Dillon has roller handles too.

          I think a longer handle may be the simplest solution. Longer lever = more leverage.
          I will share my opinion and my load data, BUT I am just a guy with too many cigars and too many guns. Whatever I say is probably wrong.
