Don't forget the powder dies, you'll need one to go with each tool head.

I use my 650 for a total of 7 calibers all with their own heads in addition to a spare tool head with a universal de-capping die. Caliber change from 308 to 9mm takes maybe 15 minutes.

If you call Dillon order line they will help you. Look in the blue press catalog for the phone number for ordering. Order the quick change heads, they are easier to deal with.

Dang dude I thought I had a few weapons. I'm no where close to what you got. I love it! I just purchased my first Dillon machine and let's get this out of the way. I absolutely love it I treat it better then my wife. She's sleeping at the moment. I did the same thing you did I dropped around 2600.00 dollars purchased everything I need. I would highly suggest a cover for the machine and a spare parts kit. And I purchased the tool kit, the bullet tray, and 3 quick change powder measure,stand, and toolhead kits it's the only way to go well, it was for me only purchased three as of right now. I will end up getting one for every caliber. You won't be sorry Dillon presses are the BEST!

Scale

Primer flip tray

Primer pickup tubes

Lg or Sm primer system ( depends on what 650 you ordered)

Case gauges

Ex lg powder bar?

Large washer for casefeeder plate (38/357)

Roller handle

Strong Mount

Small parts kit

Is all that comes to mind at the moment. HTH

You're going all in, get the roller handle, strong mount, case feeder and all the plates,( lg and small in pistol and small rifle) maintenance kit/spare parts kit. Go with the quick change tool heads, you'll get powder measures and that makes the changes so much easier. Skip the primer filler, it is too problematic. I did this over a year ago, and then ordered more bins, ammo boxes and didn't get as many calibers as you are, but after a year, I have 5 different ones and will be adding another 2 this year. If you still have cash left, look at the Mr. Bullet feeder, it works great but takes different kits for each caliber as well. Welcome to the madness!
