I've had both, Dillon 650 and Hornady LnL ap. I'll take the Hornady any day, any caliber over the Dillon. It's cheaper to change calibers, I find it quicker to change calibers as well, definitely has more room for my clumsy hands, priming system works very well and doesn't keep dumping them when there is no case to accept it, don't have to take out little pins to pull a piece of brass off to check it. It just works. I've never seen the draw that Dillon folks do for the 650 over the Hornady LnL ap. Just my experiences. The powder measure is more consistent with more powders. Most of the differences are small and subjective but it feels better more consistent to me as well.
I no longer have the dillion, gave it back to my son in law. The warranties are too similar to be a factor. The Hornady is less expensive to start with and you don't have to spend $65 or more to swap calibers.
The LnL ap comes with a powder measure. I do have the case feeder and love it for high production caliber loading.
