Thread: Any reason why I shouldn't add a Dillon casefeeder to a 650?

    I did intentionally position mine to be between the joists.

    I'd say Hornady Lock N Load since it auto-indexes. And you can use it to swage primer pockets on rifle brass.

    That was interesting, I was always amazed by that little collator.

    I bought a 650 and case feeder last Christmas. Added the bulletfeeder as soon as I got comfortable with the press. I also reload 9mm only for Production. Can't see having the press without the feeders...

    Different strokes for different folks i guess, I don't do rifle on my progressive. Good idea if you do.

    Depends on what I'm loading. .223 and .308 ball ammo gets loaded progressively. I've also loaded .308 168 BTHP progressively with a pause to electronically weigh powder.

    You'll want the case feeder and then a bullet feeder. As posted, might as well run a 550. Which a great machine BTW. As much automation as possible.

    Oh yes! It works without issue once you get it oriented so your bullets flip properly before dropping. Pretty idiot proof as my (lack of) experience proves....

    I've loaded give or take 28,500 rounds of 9mm in the past 12 months. Can't really imagine loading any volume without the feeders.
