Made a big mistake......now I want one!

So I made the mistake of looking at the Dillon Super 1050 and now I think I need (well, not really) one of these. Anyone have one they am chime in and tell me if it's worth the heavy price tag? The built-in swager looks like a really cool item.....does it work well?

The swager and priming on the down stroke are worth the price of admission.

I looked at the 1050. The cost of the caliber conversion kits turned me away. I went with the XL650.

Got one and love it. What do you want to know?

Worth the difference in cash compared to a 650? Also, I know the caliber conversions can run some serious coin....if I have my own dies for calibers can I simply use them? I saw one in action...simply awesome

I was going to buy the 650 as well......but, after loading it up with all the bells and whistles, it was pretty close to the 1050. Going with the 1050 was a no brainer for me. Toolheads are a bit pricier, but you can find a deal on a used one here and there. I currently have 5 toolheads w/dies (9mm, 40, 45, 223 & 300BLK). I wanted the best money could buy and I wasn't really concerned about price.

Just like any other loader, you could switch your dies anytime you wished.

I personally don't think you could go wrong with wither loader, but hey I'm a touch biased and would tell you to pick the 1050. Good luck to you whatever you do.

I still have my 650, but yes the 1050 is an absolute pleasure to load on and worth the extra coin.

I've never had much trouble with my Dillon that couldn't be fixed by a phone call to their tech support. Another difference between the 650 and the 1050 is that the 1050 does not carry the lifetime " no BS" warranty. Dillon considers it a commercial machine and only warranties it for one year.

Whaaaaaaaaat? No kidding... that's kinda screwy.
