Need a little help deciding
Quote from Reloader on October 31, 2016, 4:37 pmHello all, I am new to the forum, but not new to reloading. I am having trouble figuring out if i should go on and purchase the XL650. I currently reload 9mm, 40 s&w, 45auto, and 45 long colt for pistol and 223 in rifle. These are just the calibers I load a lot of. I have around 3k rounds of each pistol to load. My presses are a single stage RCBS, single stage Lee, and a Lee Load-Master that you constantly have to tinker with. All of my dies are RCBS and LEE. What will I need to make my dies work with the dillon, and what accessories would be a must have right away? Would really like to have some other reloaders opinions.

That way once they are set you don't have to mess around with them. A powder measure is nice but not needed just the powder funnel, again once it is set for the caliber you don't need to mess with it.
Of course you'll need a caliber conversion for each one you want to load.
I'd suggest getting the bullet tray, strong mount, and case feeder.Kevin
