[New Lee Auto Breech Shipping]

Pretty hard to keep a good thing down.
If this press ends up anywhere near as good as their classic cast original single stage and turret they will sell a boatload of them.  

[What are the best upgrades you`ve done 650xl]

I hate spending money on extras.  I assume one is starting with an as it should be set up with case feeder and a mount.
My most productive upgrade was to buy 5 extra primer tubes first off.

The light was like 12 bucks at target. It has a big advantage over the rip off priced  in frame lights, I can point it wherever I need it, like my hands if I need a good look at something, it is LED super bright.  I don't see a light as an option though, it is a must.
FA vibra prime, once cleaned up(molding lines) it works as well or better than the original, for almost no money compared to a rf300(I see it as the same thing on a stand, but hugely overpriced).  I fill up 6 tubes with it and I am set for a leisurely hour of loading. 
I have a bullet feeder, but I just don't need it for most sessions.  

[Alternate Primer Tube Filling Method]

Not hardly the same as a vibra prime.

I'll say. To the tune of about $175 different

Hey, if someone wants to spend that much, or the even higher price for the Dillon version...if it makes them happy. *shrug*

I'll be over here using my $50 Vibra Prime that works great. I am so glad they were brought back to market. I know they have sold boatloads.

[Reload to shoot or shoot to reload, or reload and don't shoot, or]

Reloading is a means to an end for most of us. I'm sure the guys that are comp shooting burn out on reloading quickly. I have never understood the 'reloading zen' thing. Those guys that cuddle a rockchucker in their basement all day are welcome to it.

I don't find it unenjoyable, but loading on an auto-indexing press is not what I'd call fun, too many things going on to have time for fun. Sure does pile up rounds fast, though. The other end of it, a slow and plodding single stage press.........I'd rather pull my fingernails out.

If I could buy factory ammo for the same price I'd be all over that.

[Dimpled 45 cases]

It is not uncommon, resize them and load them up.

[What are these dimples?]

I have three dimples on my 45 slide.

Two far apart on one side and one on the other in the middle compared to the other two.

[Extra Die]

If you are shooting fmj the FCD is almost always okay and many won't load without it. If you are shooting lead it might not be so great, it depends. Some have complaints that it sizes the lead down ruining accuracy, some don't have the issue. Some folks have no problem using the seating/crimp die as intended. Many millions of rounds have been made that way over the years.

[Sending red back and going blue, need a little help though.]

I'm 6' 2", my bench is 36" and I have the 650 specific strong mount. Standing works fine, so does sitting on my 30" stool I use in the loading room(I usually kind of lean on it though, just to take the load off). I can see right down in the cases perfectly. The little red press next to it has an aftermarket handle that makes it feel the same height as the 650.

[Running a ground wire to a press]

Yes, grounding to your wall outlet doesn't seem like a great idea to me. If you happen to have contact with a hot source you are going to be an unrestricted path to ground. Zzzzap! Not pretty I'd guess.

Have something inline that will pop before you do?

I don't know, I'm not a sparky, I'll stick to dryer sheets for now.

[In the Market for a new Tumbler]

I have a Lyman turbo twin 1200, comes with a small bowl for wet tumbling.

I do have the stainless pins, but haven't tried it yet. Another forum poster(somewhere else, I don't recall) said it worked well though couldn't do as large of a load, but did work faster so it evened out.

[Work light for your press]

Target has a similar light to the one in the OP, might be worth a look for those with no ikea close by. Plenty of light and way better than a little flashlight, though any light helps.

[Dillon Warranty Experience]

This is why I did not bat an eye when ponying up the $ for my 650 a few days ago. I had looked over the other manufacturers, and they all make anything right that goes wrong or turns up wrong, but Dillon takes the extra step, and has a huge vocal userbase.

[Xl650 platform mount bolts loose]

You mean it's NEW?

Wow and the platform bolts were not tighten?

I've read every 650 press post in the 100+ pages here in the last couple days. The platform bolt loosening issue and the obligatory 'call dillon for the alignment tool' answer is quite common, hence my previous post.

[Xl650 platform mount bolts loose]

Question:

Can one inspect the tightness when setting up a new 650 and check to make sure they are snug without fouling up the alignment?

I have a new XL 650 on the way(Thanks Mr Enos!) and it seems odd that they just don't throw the alignment tool in with an addendum explaining to check from the start. :/

[Found]

That's hardly enough for a sandwich.

Actually, that little guy is lucky someone found him. He'd drown in a rainstorm and freeze in a breeze.

[Buds Gun Shop in KY]

I have bought two pistols from Bud's. I have bought accessories through them on eBay also, perfect service every time. My FLL guy mentioned he does a lot of business through them so they must be doing a pretty fair job.

[Whats in your range bag?]

Yes^^

Pistol(s) ammo, mags, speedloader, glasses and muffs, a small regular towel. I have a small cleaning kit in there too. I might add a couple bore snakes(Quick and easy). I am looking for a small decent first aid kit.

Anything more is too much, I'm thinking.
