When you opened the box with the SD in it.....how much assembly did you have to do before you were up and running? Did you have to adjust the dies much?.......how do you like it?

having previous exp with a SDB, it took me 45 min to set up. I'd say that with reading through all set up and adj first and then doing the set up, you'll spend and 1.5hrs of well invested time. Die adjustment is a snap and I love the SDB, the propietary dies are a bit spendy, but work very very well. I mostly load .45 and .327, it's been excellent for 200-300 rounds per month that I shoot.

You attach the powder measure, loaded cartridge chute-bracket, spent primer bracket and cup, install the failsafe rod on the powder measure, then tweak the die seetings and adjust the powder measure.

If this is your first time with a progressive loader, allow most of an evening to go through the owner's manual then set up the machine properly. There is a minor amount of assembly and adjusting the powder measure, seat and crimp dies and being sure the priming mechanism is adjusted correctly should be done carefully. It's not difficult but don't rush yourself.
You are going to have this thing for a long time. Learning to do it right from the beginning is time well spent.
