Setting up the Dillon 650 can be tricky at first, but getting the die heights and shell plate adjustments right will make a huge difference in performance. Make sure to follow the manual closely during initial setup.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Dillon 650’s pricing. It’s quite an investment, but if you reload frequently, it pays off. Just make sure to factor in the cost of accessories too.
A tip for newbies: when calibrating the press, use a caliper to measure your cartridge lengths instead of guessing. It can save you a lot of headaches down the road.
I’ll be honest; sometimes it feels like a puzzle! But when it clicks, the satisfaction of loading rounds efficiently is unbeatable! Plus, who doesn’t love a good gadget?
I’ve had my Dillon 650 for about a year now. One common problem I’ve faced is jamming, especially with certain types of brass. Regular cleaning and lubrication can help a lot!
I’ve always found the Dillon 650 performance stellar, but if you’re using mixed brass, watch out—it can lead to seating issues. Keep a uniform batch for best results!
You all make great points! Sometimes, I just wonder if I have the patience for all these adjustments. But it’s definitely worth it once you get it running smoothly!
