JD45 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 You should get a Square Deal B for your least loaded caliber now. Then get a 1050 for the other and be done with it. That way you can forget about switching dies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I think the 650 has the most reliable primer feeding system out of all the Dillon's. If you see a complaint it is generally that they ALWAYS feed primers. The addition of the swage on the 1050 and positive depth setting can eliminate many "issues" though. If you get a 1050 keep extra primer tube tips on hand and swap them out at the first sign of problems. Edited December 27, 2015 by jmorris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichJacot Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I have had a 650 for 20 years and would recommend it to anyone looking into a progressive setup. As someone else mentioned, get an additional tool head and powder measure if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlmiller1 Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I am sure you know this but reading your first post kind of leaves it in question but the 9mm is a tapered round, the base is not the same diameter as the 38 super & sc. You have to have different dies & different shell plate. Just have a different toolhead for each caliber & the appropriate shell plate & locator buttons. Changeover is simple. Not sure though with a bullet feeder........? Enjoy your new hobby but take it slow & easy at first.

k1llapanda Posted January 2, 2016 Author Share Posted January 2, 2016 Went ahead and got the 650. Love it so far. Got it from a local guy that's getting out of loading. I just finished setting it up yesterday and started to load today. Cant wait for the inline fabrication kit.... Loaded 20 rounds at two diff weights to see reliability and they went great. Tomorrow getting a chrono from a friend and gonna play some more. Thanks everyone for all the help. Now I get to play with diff powders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmorris Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I am sure you know this but reading your first post kind of leaves it in question but the 9mm is a tapered round, the base is larger than the 38 super Incorrect, rim diameter on a 38 super is .406", .392" on a 9mm.

mlmiller1 Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Incorrect, rim diameter on a 38 super is .406", .392" on a 9mm. Corrected my post. I should have stuck with different diameter. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
