I have been reloading 38 Special on an RL1050B since 1988 and 38 Super on a Super 1050 since 2006. I also have a couple of XL650’s for 9mm and rifle. The quick answer to your question….the Super1050 has a longer stroke length for rifle cartridge reloading and has a different bottom crank assembly. I have not heard of a 1050XL. They are all great presses and will not disappoint.

Thanks Richard…your response is outstanding…I really appreciate it. Cheers, Greg

Looks like these have grips have some really good potential…anyone tried them out ? They certainly have an aggressive looking texture.. https://www.shootingsportsinnovations.com%2F1911-bite-grips%2F&usg=AOvVaw0v2Epv09Z57EabY3sYvPuS&opi=89978449

I have a couple of XL650 tool heads setup that way and find that the ammo produced is fine…I even use a FCD on one 9mm setup !

Hey !.....that looks like mine do. I just give them a quick file and polish....and then load.

231 and WST will do the job for you.

Well Smitty.... I am glad that I am not the only one who has this issue. From time to time it seems that one needs to clean out the casefeeder bowl and re-seat the plate. I have fewer issues on one 650 with 9mm if I clean every 3 months or 3000 rounds. YMMV

Sounds like Emirates has struck again..

I have had great results with Dillon Case Lube…the lanolin seems to retard the leading and cleaning is a bit easier. I use it in my NRA Action guns when I cheap out on non-jacketed practice ammo. YMMV

No return springs needed on that bullet feeder die ! Looks impressive.

Yep…I hundo them and set any failed rounds aside. When I get to the end of the bin I just run the fails back through the FCD and try them back in the hundo. Two time fails are treated as rejects.

I have Grand Slam kits on both my XL650’s and could not be happier with the results. Great products.

Anti-spatter spray does not do anything better than DCL or OneShot ….Even straight Lanolin spray (Lanotec) works just fine at reducing the rate of buildup and makes cleaning easier. I guess it just comes down to convenience and cost. My home brewed case Lube (Lanolin and alcohol) works great for Minor and Major loads.

If you give the comp ports a quick squirt of Dillon Case Lube every 50 or so shots… The comp shows less buildup and is easier to clean. Hornady OneShot will do much the same…

The double return springs on the older style powder thrower will squeak, a drop of oil on the looped ends makes the noise stop.
