1 550 for rifle 30/30 winchester lol
1 650 pistol large primers
1 650 pistol small primers
1 lee classic single stage press
maybe next year ill have 5 and pick up the sl900 for me and my father in laws shotguns

Im a rank novice compared to almost everybody here. But I'm going to pipe in anyway.
I just finished my first caliber conversion on my 650. I've done it before on my friend's 550.
Generally speaking changing out the primer from large to small is a real pain in the butt. Everything else is quick and easy.
So I've been thinking that the ideal setup might be to have 2 - 650s. One set up for large primers and the other set up for small. Not cheap, I know.
But with those two, you can convert to just about anything is less than 10 minutes and you can really fly once you are set up.

that is exactly what i did! and i will use my 550 for my father in laws rifle! shit next year im aching for a sl900 shotshell reloader

heh believe it or not just picked up another xl650

Believe it or not, I have a friend that has this: Workbench for his reloading bench. He has a Rock Chucker mounted to it and loads .338 Lapua Mag on it. He says it is quite stable and then he just rolls it away when he is done. Also locks everything up in it. I got the large workbench made by the same company and it is rock solid.
Maybe this would work for you as well.

that is a nice bench there! a guy on this forum named boxerglocker has one with a dillon xl 650 mounted to it check it out maybe ill have him post a pic or two

id still rather have a gsi; then that expensive homemade ghetto looking thing

Try Harbor frieght tools.... they make a clone set of snap ring pliers that are just like the snapon/mac one for less than $20. While I don't endorse them to be just as good, for this application definately cheaper and will work.
dont you have an airplane to fix mitch?

Regardless of history, a wonderful machine, I consider is the best machine in Dillon line today and a great buy at its price. Have three of them in addition to the 1050.
+1. Dillon definitely did a great job in developing the 650.
I want to know how the decision to go with the rotating plate of primers rather than a slider such as on the 550 and other presses? The lower speed makes sense, but why have unused fresh primers fall onto the ski jump when they could just go back under the stack to get used again?
Maybe its a safety thing for simplicity! if it would rotate back around while arm is full of primers kaboom. But to keep it simple with a flat rotation of the primer plate it just ejects into a little off ramp. If in actuality you wanted it to rotate back into commission there would most likely be more of an advance in moving parts in that department. But that is just my opinion

I just ordered my 550B from Enos.....can't wait to get it!!!
Good Choice i have the 650 and 550 both great machines
650 in ten millimeter and 550 in nine millimeter
-
i think wcc brass is the very best brass you can get! keep it all!
-
If you were to by a XL650 right now... in the grand scheme of things the casefeeder with the needed shellplate is an extra $212.95!!!
The new Blue press is out, price increases are on the way... plus if you order the casefeeder with a press you get the whole thing shipped FREE.
I agree... XL650 without a case feeder... just silly.
Mitch is the man and i agree as stated before.

rcbs? boo; id totally go for a redding big boss or boss press decent priming system and overall great
-
Roger That; BEnos!
do they really raise it that much more?
-
I regretted selling my Lee Classic Turret. It was cheap to do caliber conversions on and it worked great. I wish I had just kept it and got the 650/casefeeder for 9mm. I would get the 650 for the caliber you want, keep the 550 for at least a year. You will get the urge to sell it but once that passes I bet you will be glad you kept it.
lol you regretted selling a 80 dollar piece of equipment? my redding dies cost almost double that!
but to the op i would keep my 550 and keep the 650 also plus its always a hand me down or what not
-
just wondering?
-
might as well buy a 550 and call it a day if you dont want a casefeeder
-
either or i dont mind either
-
what up mitch!!

I am pretty sure Dillon Fixes their prices. I buy from Brian and Dillon and have seen Dillon stuff in a gunshop that has outragious prices on eveything but the prices were EXACTLY the same on the Dillon stuff.
Don't count on black Friday but if there is going to be a price increase for the new year Brian will let us know here so we can buy before hand.
I would just order it from Brian whenever you are ready!
Thanks guys!
Free shipping for orders over $400 is my "caveat."
In a sense, buying a loading set up from me before 5 PM, Dec. 31st, is a "discount," because you will beat Dillon's first of the year price increase.
i have heard dillon cost is like 100-150 under the price of each press or so i have been told!

i like n350 for my 9mm and also i like wsf for medium to fp loads
p.s. do they cycle well in your glock? they just look kinda long
