This video put me over the edge... I was on the fence between this and the hornady ammo plant (which gives more features for the buck) but Dillon is a 25 minute drive door to door.

I got the basic XL650 setup for .45 acp, the optional powder check for station 3, the strong mount with trays, and the aluminum pull handle. I didn't get the case feeder, but I'll put it on my xmas list.

Thanks for making these great videos!

Do you have to use Dillon dies? I have Lee dies already, can I use them?

@GeneralG1810 Awesome, thanks.

@poik12 Yep every cal has a different die no matter which press. Dies usually come in a pair 1 for decap and size the other for bullet seating. You might find some that have a crimp die also but not always. However most dies will fit in most presses comon thread is 7/8 UNC. There can be quite a bit to reloading for accuracy but never ever take someones word on powder weight charge always refer to a manual or the powder manufacturers website. Hope this helps

Noticed you said the caliber change kits don't come with Dies, bit new to reloading, do you need new dies per caliber? (I.E .303 British and .308)

@Strothy2 the station number 3 is open and not a mandatory station but you can put mutiple different things in that station such as a mr. bullet feeder or a powder check die but it does not have to have anything in it

I've been loading on a 650 for a few years. Awesome press, awesome company. I bought my 650 used, and its an original 1994 machine. Dillon has sent me parts anytime something broke no questions asked.

Dies - I have dillon dies for .38/357 and 45. I have lee dies for .40. Both seem to work fine.

For the first press user - not a good choice as a first press, very complex machine that works great, but for a first time reloader it might be a bit much to grasp. Safety is key, speed comes later.
