    I have a 650 that I load 9mm, 223 and 300BO.

    About to pull the trigger on a new 550C. Plan on loading 45ACP, 308, 30-06 and 458. Load less of these rounds cheaper with more caliber conversions and tool heads than the 650. Keep the 550C large primer and use my Redding T7 for more precision loads.

    I have a 650 and 550, 550 I use for my percise rounds, with a powder funnel die and funnel instead of a powder drop
    Shit happens... then you die.

    I have a Dillon 550 that I load 9mm/ 45acp and 556. Just added a case feeder which speeds up the operation a lot.

    I've got 2 550's. 1 set up for large primers and 1 for small. Love my 550. Been loading on it now about 35 years.

    Realistically, what kind of speed did you pickup with that feeder? I have halfway considered picking up a used 550 for this exact purpose, and keeping my other 550C for my larger rifle calibers

    I love my 550 and will probably get another if I find a good deal.

    I just purchased another 650 used with only about 1500 rounds. I will be setting this up as large primer based to load 308, 30-06 and 45ACP. Looking to get into 458 SOCOM soon also. Just placed another order with Inline Fabrication on mount and accessories.

    My current 650 was purchased three years ago and loads 9mm, 223/556 and 300BO. It probably has about 10-12k rounds through her.

    Sure I can swap out the priming system but with work, children and hectic schedule, just easier to use quick conversion and pull the handle.
