Dillon 650

The Lee Classic Cast is a great investment--pun intended, but it is the best deal for the money in my book.

So did you guys sell your Square Deal Bs? I love mine for pistol plinking loading.

As an FYI:

You can get get Dillon products from Graff and Sons. Their web site is better than Dillon's and the shipping is often free.

There is also a guy on the Reloading for Sale forum that has a lot of new Dillon merchandise. All the prices are about the same. I went withe Graffs because I bought a press setup for 38 SuperComp on sale. The shell plate will work for 223.

i sold the Square Deal for bench space. It worked well but required more tweaking than the the 550 for proper operation.

With the 650, you're going to wish for the case feeder. I'd save the pennies up fast. It makes a huge difference.

I only load a couple hundred at a time and several calibers. The case feeder is too much to change for several calibers. If the 650 had not been on sale, I would have happily stuck with the 550.

All you are going to change in the casefeeder is the plate, 2 screws and most of the cartridges you listed will be the same. And as far as changing primer size it;s a snap. I may have a couple of extra conversions.

you will love it, we certainly enjoy ours.

So far, it is great. I have set it up for forty caliber. Definately easier to use than the 550.

Without the case feeder, I drop 20 cases in the tube and start loading in runs of 15 at a time. I will likely buy the case feeder down the road, but for now, this works fine.
