Then get a bullet feeder. Then bearing kit, lighting kits, roller handles, etc etc etc. Look up the 650 tips and tricks thread. Enough stuff there to keep you busy reading for a week.

SCTaylor Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Bullet feeder. Don’t feel the need for anything more. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xdr Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I do have the case feeder and dillon roller handle. I was thinking about the Reloading Innovations lighting system and also their spill stop system as my next investment. Any feedback on either of those? I will install mr. bullet feeder once I get more experience with the press - I've had it for a while but have only loaded ~2500-3000 rounds on it due to work and travel.

I have the lighting system from them. It’s the best system I have tried. Plenty of light right where you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicat30 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I have the spill stops,the lights and the bearing kits from reloading innovations. +1000 on the spill stops and lights. The bearing is good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 (edited) Uniquetek Micrometer for the powder bar. Simply awesome. I've done all the others but this makes life so easy - #1 in my book. Someone needs to re-design the 3 brass case holders/pin so they don't keep getting sucked up by the vacuum. I hate digging around in the vacuum bag. yuk. You'd think I'd learn but noooo.

Currently Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Last time I sucked those pins out with a vacuum, I went to Costco and bought a case of canned air. I use the vacuum on the bench and canned air on the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TANFARM Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Case Feeder should be standard on a 650.....what nonsense. Extra primer tubes Spare parts kit..MANDATORY ! spent primer hose adapter.....gallon jug under the bench....brilliant! Roller handle with foam pad cover Mr. Bullet Feeder....as effective as the case feeder....why did I wait so long...dumb. Zip tie on main frame to stabilize round with MBF..and zip tie to diasable primer arm...cheap and simple. Tons of quality lighting!!!....old eyes.... best of luck!

MemphisMechanic Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Dillon casefeeder Mr Bulletfeeder Kit to catch used primers in coke bottle under bench Bearing for shellplate and lightened detent ball & spring Reloading innovations spill stop & halo-type lighting system EBay parts that replace the palstic indexing ramp and the rod that rides up and down the case feed slide with ones that have roller bearings. All VERY worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Dont not put any money into your casefeeder-equipped 650 until you get a Mr Bulletfeeder for it though. It’s worth twice the $400 it costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moloch38 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Bullet feeder, spent primer chute, and low mass index plate bearing kit were big for me. The LED lights are a Must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moloch38 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I also liked having the wall mounted die plate holders, but not a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
