Dillon: RL 550 B vs. XL 650

Douglas in CT · January 13, 1999, 10:07 AM

Just got the itch to reload.
Question is which one do I purchase?
Mission: Now: .223 and 9mm auto. Later: .45 auto

All comments welome.

I own a 550B and am quite satisfied with it!

Were I starting out now and could afford it, I think I would buy the 650.

Either way, you can hardly go wrong!

Would have to agree with Michael, started with a single stage and went to a Lee progressive then to the 650, enjoy the 650,
if you load quite alot you might want to get the auto case feed, I've also got the powder checker for each round and the checker for low powder in the hopper. this stuff isn't required but makes life easier. good luck
and be carefull.
