Dillon 550B or XL650?

[Wizard]

I love my 650XL, its been great to me. I bought it used on here for a steal and had to spend a little to get setup and running but every time ive had an issue with it I call Dillon and they walk me through th efix or send out a new part asap.

But I have been thinking about getting the Honaday single stage press to reload my rifle stuff with so I can be more percise because I dont like the way the dillon powder measure works on it. I want to be more percise with my long range rifle stuff than I have to worry about with my 9mm loads.

Hi Wizard,

They make an adapter so you can put a Redding benchrest stype powder measures on top of a Dillon powder die. I think you have to actuate it manually, but those Redding measures are great for accuracy, even with long extruded rifle powders.

Good luck,

Alan

Ah thank you for that info, I will have to check into that.

I should have been more specific than "they"!

Here it is:

I'd call Dillon to make sure it is 650 compatible...

Thanks,

I've been looking at getting into reloading for a few years now and haven't been able to make up my mind between the Hornady LnL AP and the Dillion 650XL. What I thought would be an advantage for the LnL AP is that you can get the Single stage LnL and all the LnL adapters interchange.
