I started handloading in 1972.  I have loaded a LOT on a single stage RC press.  Which I still use for an occassional hunting round or low volume work. 

I bought my 650 in the mid 1990s.  Before I got it I went through 4 XXX brand Pro 1000 presses.  Mainly because they were priced a lot cheaper.  But 1 or 2 military crimped primers will really damage the lighter weight aluminum.  Since getting the 650 I have loaded several TENS of thousands of 45 acp and several thousand 223.  I got the complete changeover kit for caliber changes and mounted everything on it's own tool head.  I have got to say that I am more comfortable with this setup for VOLUME work than any I have ever used, (except a friends 1050).

I'm retired now and in poor health.  But my oldest grandson is interested in learning how it's done.  I'm sure he'll enjoy the 650 as much as I have.  He's a really good shot with a 22lr.  When I can afford a left hand rifle he'll probably do fine with a centerfire.

Thanks Mike Dillon and company for making this high quality equipment.
