My Pro-jector is retired: H dies on a 650?


Recommended Posts

650 was my first press and really glad I bought it.....

Just order yours without dies (it still comes with the powder measure) but specify 9mm and it will come with the right funnel and primer set up already on it. Hornady powder cop works just fine in it as well....

I don't have any experience with the Hornady powder measure but if it operates just like the Dillon ie dispenses powder as the case pushes up against the funnel that flares the case it might....

But there could be clearance issues as the Dillon hopper is offset to the front and I think yours might be directly over the funnel, just have to rely someone who has both. But if you are going to get the 650 it comes with one anyway so you wouldn't be put off waiting to mod a powder drop. The Dillon also has a rod to reset the powder bar that you may find helpful....

As mentioned, just order from Brian set up for 9mm and sell the parts you don't need. Sell the H powder measure and use the "blue" one (I'm aware that there isn't actually any blue on the powder measure itself...)

No reason for the Powder Measure to not work. I don't think the old ones flare at the same time. But I would just start with the Dies you have and use the Dillon Powder Measure till you get the feel for it. Then try the Hornady. I prefer the Dillon Powder Funnel setup but Hornady's newer Powder measure with the Micro Meter adjuster is pretty nice.

Your dies will work, the powder measure will not. I second going directly for the 650, just pay attention to detail.

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't a Hornady powder measure work on a 650?

I am sure with enough effort and resources one could get the hornady powder to work on a 650. But my point was it will not a direct functional bolt onto the Dillion. The main difference being the fail safe rod assembly. If you get the 650 it is probably best to the the Dillion powder measure and sell the rest
