650 or 1050?
Quote from Reloader on January 26, 2009, 9:20 amI have been looking at Dillon Presses for some time now. I am now retired and able to spend some money.
I can afford either the XL650 or the Super 1050. What do you people recomend?
PS: I have been loading with a Lee Progessive 1000. It is time to get the best. Thanks.

Quote from Reloader on January 26, 2009, 6:08 pmDepends greatly on which calibers you wish to load, and what type of brass you have. The stroke length on the Super 1050 limits you to 30-06 as the largest rifle. However, if you have a large quantity of military brass, the Super 1050 does include a primer pocket swager. The warranty on the Super 1050 is one year.
The XL650 offers a much wider range of caliber conversions, and has a lifetime warranty.

My only advise is this. Spend the extra $200.00 and get the case feeder. It is kind of tedious to stop every nine or ten rounds and fill the feed tube with cases.

I also have a 650 that I have been using for 4 years.
The 1050 is more robust and smoother. I prefer it to the 650, but realistically both do a ver similar job.
I particularly like the 7 stations on the 1050. I use one as a poweder level checker and another for a cartridge counter.
