  1. Hi, I've been out of reloading for many years now. I have a Star, a RL-550 and a RCBS Rock Chucker that I have set up. I also have a Dillon XL-650 with case feeder in .308 that I bought from a guy needing money but have never set it up. So I've been thinking about setting it up to load .38/.357 revolver ammo and started looking at Dillon's web site to see what it would take. Boy, was I surprised at the cost of dies and conversion kits! Did they just go the way of everything else with the cost, or am I missing something? I'm not that guy that is always trying to chisel a deal, but do want to feel comfortable that I'm not over paying without benefit. Second question - I see that the 650 has been discontinued and replaced by the 750. Does Dillon still support the 650 with repairs, etc? Would one be advised to not fool with the 650, sell it and buy a 750 instead? Thanks in advance!
  2. I guess my finger was just at the wrong place at the wrong time. I looked all over the serrations with a 10x magnifier and couldn't find the culprit. I gave serious thought to remachining the serrations to a straight line serration like a 1911 has, but I think I'll wait for it to happen again before I do it. Heck, maybe I already had a small cut already and just ripped it open. Thanks for your reponses!
  3. Has anyone found that the M&P slide serrations are too sharp and they're getting cut by them? I got a big divot chunked out of my weak hand index finger while power-stroking the slide from slide lock. I don't really see any particular spot that crazy sharp, but it got me to wondering if others have gotten cut by them and if anyone had gotten the serrations melted a little to soften the sharp edges? TIA!
