rancher5 Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Thought I could keep Lee Load Master going but, but after umpteenth time of tearing it apart to run smoothly, I sold a van, bingo 650 on its way, know not going to ask did I do the right thing, after keeping Lee products going for many years ,Pro 1000 + Load Master, I shoot a lot, I threw in the towel.

armydad Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You won't regret it, you'll love it! I'd like to hear your opinion after you have it setup and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKnoch Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Im about to jump to a 650 from a lee turret. A 550 would've been sufficient, but its only like $130 more for a lot more potential Daniel K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 the 650 is surprising. I have had no real hiccups with my example. soon you will be facing a problem: Where do I store all this ammo!?! miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkheard Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 You will absolutely love the 650. You'll also wonder why you waited so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotRod61 Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 As others have said. You won't be sorry. I went from the Lee breechlock to the 650. I still use the Lee for my hunting rds. I just went from 223 to 45acp on the 650 and it's a amazing piece of technology. Good luck and GoodShooting HotRod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson1each Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Still kicking myself in the butt for buying a 550 instead of a 650! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havfun Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 went form a lnl to a 650 . best move i have ever made. then moved up to the super 1050 all i can say is wow. when i sold the 650 i was surprised how much i sold it for. put it on eBay for 900 with a lot of extras worth maybe 1200-1300 new. sold in 1 hours should have asked for more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Service Desk Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Thank You all, very positive post, yes I shoot a lot and am bad at it, 650 will give me more time to shoot Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Not just more time to shoot...... It will make you 20 lbs lighter, 15 years younger, 4 inches taller and even more desirable to beautiful women. I bought 3.... And still need more !

rancher5 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Good part is Dillon setup was straight forward, nothing weird , like Lee Progressives, Dillon takes less energy to load, and 4x faster, than Lee Progressives. Yes the Lee loaders did the job,if I only shot <1000 rounds a month, probably wouldn't go with Dillon Press Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanks Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 In reality components cost more. Just ordered 10K CCI primers and 4lb of N320 (I order when down to 12 lbs) and 9K of 180 grain xtreme HP bullets. With the amount I have left of primers and bullets that's only a 3 month supply and more than the cost of the 650XL with a case feeder just in bullets alone.

Few yrs for rifle,Compared to a lot of other hobbies ,not to bad if you divide it out. Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelindsey Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I bought the 650 as my first try at reloading. I'm glad I did, I studied the manual and got the DVD. I'm a huge fan of getting the DVD. Awesome machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustybayonet Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Still kicking myself in the butt for buying a 550 instead of a 650! Be nice to the 550! I love mine, and does serve a special purpose, and it does it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3324temp Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Still kicking myself in the butt for buying a 550 instead of a 650! Tons of people I know did as well. I always do my best to steer people that way. I don't understand the 550 when the 650 exists. Unless money is really an issue its the way to go. The difference in conversion times is way over blown.
