Nice Top end setup.  I have slowly worked up to a very similar setup.

Add:Rapid Polish 290 (8 oz. Bottle)Stock Number: 13804

You can for now probably remove (if you want to save some cash)
Super Swage 600 - only need if you are going to get military cases.  There is a huge amount of non mil cases.
Dillon Low Powder Sensor - Just refill the powder after each 200 cases loaded.

I always wanted a Dillon RF 100 Lg. Primer Filler.  But instead I will the extra tubes around the TV. Make sure you use up all Rifle before switching to Pistol, etc.  I figure for $300 I can load a lot more cases.

Always remove excess powder at end of reloading session.  Keep from powder degradation and keep the plastic clearer longer.

ADD:  Friend that has done pistol/rifle reloading, hopefully on a Dillon to get you started.

Load safe.  congratulations.  I started my shotshell loading with a Mec 650, moved to 366's.  A friend started me on his Dillon 550.  I started with a 550B and moved to a 650. Rifle/Pistol is less forgiving, but very similar once you know what to watch our for (bullet seating, case length, overall length, proper power, bullet crimp).

Fosgate,

You sound like me, last week. I took the intellectually lazy, yet far more expediant route. Call the phone order number and talk to the guys at Dillon. Very professional. 

 

The gentleman I spoke with was very knowledgeable on all things reloading and Dillon equipment. Also, he didn't leave any stone unturned. A new SWager that will make my 5.56 crimp issues a much less imposing endeavor. He provided me advice on things I need to consider and recommended everything I'll need to get started on 9mm and .223/5.56.

 

Give 'em a call, you won't be sorry.

 

Jeff

Add a set of calipers, either 13462 or 17171,  a reloading manual, #10330, case lube #13733

Thanks for the input everyone. I went ahead and added the lube. Already have the calipers, speer, lyman, nosler, Loading for the AR15 and the .223 One Caliber one Book series for loading. Added an electric case trimmer to the package and now just have one last question. Is there any discount code (Disabled Vet, Student, Lions International, other) or other sellers that offer a discounted price or is everything pretty much full retail with Dillon?

I am kinda in the same boat, but have never reloaded, have friends that do, and one is using a 550, but I am wanting to get the 650, but have questions and tried calling customer service,(busy signal all the time). I am probably going to print your topic and go frm there since you have a good selection of what I had already been looking at for purchase.

Add a huge order of patience.  Sounds like they are swamped.
