[QUOTE="223 Shooter, post: 999745, member: 10781"] Loaded a couple of thousand rounds of .223 on the 550 that Santa left under the tree this Xmas. Had everything to load 30-06 (M1 matches), 9mm & 38 Spl, but had not gotten around to pistol loading. Did notice that if one was not careful, was easy to throw (or at least attempt to) a double-charge with the manual indexing. Nice thing about loading rifle ammo is that a double-charge makes a mess you can't miss (unless you are loading in your sleep). Then a fellow competitor in bullseye competition destoyed his .32 match pistol with a double-charge. He also used a 550. At that point I decided I need auto-indexing. Gave Dillon a call and they gave me an RMA # and full refund on the 550 for a similar 650. I can throw a double-charge, but hopefully, the 650 won't. I found the 550 to be an excellent, high-quality machine and expect the same with the 650. Obviously, my view of Dillon's customer service could not be higher. Take care and keep 'em in the 10-ring.
