MissionaryMike Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 Coming over from a Lee Classic Turret Press, the 650 seemed like it would require a pretty steep learning curve, especially with how big it looks w/ the case feeder attached. Fortunately, I got mine used, preassembled, and for the most part dialed in. All I really had to do was adjust the dies and powder measure. Man, this thing is awesome. I was producing about 120 rounds of 9mm per hour w/ the Lee. I starting to find a good rhythm w/ the 650, and just last night pumped out 225 rounds in 30 min. That's a huge upgrade in speed. My wife is going to love having me back, haha. -MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFLcavediver Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 I picked up mine used from a friend who was getting out of shooting, all ready set up. Big difference moving from a turret press. Only no case feeder, that's next. Good luck with yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikelindsey Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I have the 650 and load 7 different calibers. It's the first machine I started with and I'm glad. After reading the manual and watching the DVD I was off and doing well. No regrets here. I would advise all new 650 users buy the video and search tube for good stuff.

dthomas1003 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I upgraded from a 550 to the 650 about 6 months ago. My only regret was that I had not done it sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams30gts Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 I did that same jump a few years back. All I wondered to myself is what took me so long. hahha The 650 is in all honesty a pretty simple machine. Once you change calibers (primer size) a few times you will have the hang of it in no time.
