It would be nice if somebody has owned both a Hornady and an XL650 to tell me if it is worth the extra expense. QUOTE]
Ive had both, I am very happy with my 650.when you spread out the increased cost over all the thousands of rounds you are going to load, theres not a meaningful difference in cost.
THe only way Id say go with the LnL is if theres no way you can afford the extra $ for a dillon initially. -and even then Id say just hold off and save up.
