I think I would be afraid to shoot those if I went at 1000 an hour. Quality control is #1

Build4U. Could you post a pic of your adaption. Thanks

See above. Can't find in manual anything but lg and small pistol plate

Defiantly get the powder measure for each. There not that expensive and will take 30-60 seconds off your ready to load!

Wish I'd have known about the vet. Discount as my initial 650 and many accessories was around $3K

Glad you got it fixed. It seems that 40s people just have problems for some reason. I know when I do 40s, it's never problem free. Like on my 650, I throw on the 45 stuff and the only thing I have to remember is to place the bullet and pull the handle. Never had any probs with 45. Also question for the responder above. You say stay with the Dillon set up for the flare. I may be wrong but it seems to me that is the first thing I would check and readjust. Dillon is good but when stuff ships it can get bumped out of specs. Am I wrong there?

I leave mine and have 5 rigs set up ready to go. I just mark and date them.

I too am looking for tool head covers.

I just got one from inline today. I'm very impressed. Prior I was using their small flashlight and a battery gooseneck zip tied to the top of the press. No comparison. Should have bought the light a year ago when I got my 650.

I wish I had found out about Brian before I ordered from Dillon. Sorry Brian

Where do you guys find the tool head covers. I can't find them on the Dillon site

Love the blue

You want a new tool head and dies for sure. It's a hassle to start over every time you change ammo.

Congrats. I remember a year ago when I got mine. Had already watched all the utube videos on unpacking and setting up. Utube helped me out a lot but the Dillon video helped the best.

Where can I find this info "Things like the primer chute, and the three of my personal favorites: foam tape on the handle, foam insulation on the front edge of the bullet tray, and the support leg" Tried a search with no luck

Thanks mjohn, your prob. right. I haven't had the need yet to reload a bunch other than learning how to do it. I've got like 6k rounds of each caliber new that I bought 4 years ago before all the price increases. Soon as I shoot up another 1000 of each ill start reloading again.

Sorry guys a typo. It's per about a half hour

Congrats, I got my first Reloader, a 650 one year ago. Very neat once you get over the learning curve.

I had no experience reloading what's so ever. I kept visiting here and it seems the majority here had 650s. After a lot of reading and watching the utube videos, plus the lifetime warranty I went with the 650. I got it, watched their video many times, had a few newbie questions answered here I finally got it. I'm still slow, only a couple hundred an hour but I still stop and weigh and measure every 15 min. Or so. I'm comfortable now and when I get back to it I'm sure I'll be cranking them out quicker. It's fun to go to the range using the micromotomer, seeing the difference from factory rounds compaired to reloads. The reloads are much closer in feet per sec.

I think your at just where I was a year ago. PM me if you want some recent newbie questions answered. This 650 really had me intimidated until I went through the video side by side a few times. I was new to reloading but now I do .40, .45, and .223. I still go a it slow and checking and weighing to many yet but I can still crank out 100-200 rds. Per 1/2 hour.

Thanks

I would say get the DVD. Most utube videos don't go into much detail about adjusting dies. I used mine a lot as that was all I had and was new to reloading. Plus it gives you piece of mind seeing exactly what your doing. I had a portable DVD player and kept it on the bench and set up side by side.

I know you should tumble rifle rounds after reload to make sure all lube is off. Do you have to do the same with pistol rounds?

Don't forget case lube and stuff if you don't have it.
