650 on a Dillon strong mount, 550 on the Inline Fab mount (quick change) Yeah, the 650 would be a pain to swap out.

I started with an RL550B, and added an XL650 a short while later. I set it up and tried it out, but eventually out it back in its box for a couple of years because the 550 fit my needs better. Lack of bench space is what drove that decision, and then I learned about the quick change mount from...

Midway - CCI Primers w/free shipping and no hazmat. Ends at midnight. Saw this on another forum and wanted to pass along.

Ran through my first case of 5000 SPP, and halfway through the second. No issues, just a few ruined primers from trying to hurry and not pay attention. They all go bang, and they all worked well with my various loads.

Dillon sizing and crimp dies, Redding competition seating die. 1.130" / 0.378" I use Unique for my favorite load.

3 tbsp Armor All wash and wax 1/4 tsp Lemishine 1 gal water 2 hrs in the FA tumbler

I have found some Freedom Munitions "brass" which was actually a magnetic metal of sorts with a nice shiny brass plating on them. The headstamp is "FM" and some are magnetic, some are not. These are about as much fun to locate as .45ACP with SPP. For general plinking, I'll load up mixed...

4000+ SPP for me with no issues, and they work fine through vibraprime.

Great combination. I have used mine for load development, as well as for regular loading. I rarely use my Dillon beam scale these days.

S&B pistol primers are GOOD! I've had excellent performance, and the primers also work just fine with VibraPrime, too, unlike my last box of WSP.

My favorites are the Speer 125 gr. TMJ and Hornady 124 gr. XTP

I use the Lemishine that looks like sugar or salt. Not sure which version of LS it is, but here are the numbers for my loads: 1 gal H2O 5 lbs SS pins 5 lbs brass 3 tbsp Armor All wash n wax 1/4 tsp Lemishine 2 hrs for previously cleaned brass, 3 hrs if dirty range pickup is included If you...

Too many LPP cases in my inventory to give up on that configuration. I'm not a fan of SPP cases, since my setup for .45ACP on my Dillon 550 generally gets setup after I've loaded 10mm, which is also LPP. I save the SPP cases for trades, or for lost brass matches. No love lost if I can't...

The two screws on the bottom should only be finger tight. I had the same issues, called Dillon, and the tech told about that. I used the spare plate from the parts kit, and Dillon sent me a new one to put back as a ready spare. My original plate had some bad gouges and marks from being over...

Powder Valley has some N320/4 lb jugs. I left a few there for you guys... :)
