Dillon 650


Recommended Posts

You kids today have it too easy.

Back when I bought my XL650 in 1993 all I had was a poorly copied pre-manual as Dillon didn't have the published one out yet.

Got my rig at a Houston Gun show.

We dindt' have no stinking fancy internet thing other than a dial up 4800 baud modem connection to Stargate in Houston, using

OS/2 and a TCP/IP SLIP modem connection to access a Unix host. No fancy pants YouTube for us back then. No, we had

Telnet text clients and Netscape was just a smear on pappies dirty underwear.

We had to stumble thru the poorly copied manual with foggy pictures and guess at what we was doing.

We dint' even have no VHS tapes.

Now you want DVD's .

Yah, YouTube is chock full of stuff. Don't need no steenkin DVD.

If you follow the video don't completely remove the set screw for the shell plate as shown. Just loosen it enough to be able to uncrew the bolt. If completely removed it's a bear to get back in and is easily stripped. Ask me how I know.

Good luck and happy reloading. I see a case feeder in your future.

Thanks for the heads up
