RGA Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Hi, For a project I want to load 6mmBR on a Dillon 650. Who has done it? - Which casefeeder adapter will work? (A 7,62x39 one?) - Which powder funnel is suitable? Thanks, RGA Edited March 25, 2019 by RGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I load 7,62x39 and 6 PPC on both my 650 and 550. For the 650 my case feed adaptor is a modified orange one that I use for 357 MAX and the 7.62x39/6 PPC. For the powder funnel it would be the same as I use in 6 PPC. Not sure if there is a difference between a larger rifle caliber like 243 Win but I am guessing since the PPC/BR cases are shorter they may make a longer funnel for the shorter cases.

RGA Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share Posted March 26, 2019 I played a little with my .308 casefeed adapter and placed a piece of tape covering the top 1/2 inch of the slot in the adapter. It will now reliably feed 6BR cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will now reliably feed 6BR cases. I have done that also for different cases. I found a rubber "O" ring of the right diameter works well also since you can slide it up and down depending on your case length. When I started loading 7.62x39/6 PPC I already had the correct adapter because I was loading .357 MAX so I just used that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGA Posted March 27, 2019 Author Share Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Like the great philosopher Hannibal likes to say: "I love it when a plan comes together!" I managed to combine a (manual) Harrell's powder measure with the press. Let's see if the 650 can produce just as consistent and straight ammo as my Harrell's presses.

RAP Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Not a Dillon press but I have loaded some very accurate loads on my Pro2000 progressive press. As long as your dies are adjusted properly. Below is an example of accuracy I was able to easily attain with my .308. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
