 ... you don't have to sell me on a 650. If I was working, had deep pockets, raising a family and had very little time... I'd have one in a heartbeat. Fact is tho... First, there are a bunch of people that just can't afford $1154 (today's price for a good version of the 650) or $1159 for the comparable LNL. That would be with the bullet and case feeders. Even at base levels, to get into reloading for $150 or so for a Lee... or have to spend 549 for a Dillon 550B, can be a huge stretch. And so, I have to stand by my position that for many people, single stage or a turret press is the way to go. Not to mention the learning curve/safety issues for new reloaders. And I also understand your position. If I lived in California, I would want to have a 650 for when the secession comes about. You will have a skill that will keep you safe. You'll be an ammo maker! (Just kidding, I DO understand your love of the 650! But there are alternatives.... Secondly, if you load more than two or three calibers, you would have to agree that the cost goes up. Large and small primer tubes, shell plates, etc...I load for 380,38,9mm,38 Super, 357mag .40 and 45 cal. In addition, I load for 7.62 x 39 7.62 Russian and 5.56/.223. I'm not loading 1000 rounds at a time, which.. btw.. I have plenty of since I'm retired.

AND...... for you folks with really deep pockets.... No 650 or 1050 is truly complete without this add on from Ponsness/Warren. It's only $950... just a house payment... or a case of really good wine... scroll down the link to watch the video....
... you're gonna drool over this one!https://www.reloaders.com/products/d...650-auto-drive

I hear ya padre on the initial cost of the set up. But that being said, what is your time worth? Not you persay as you're retired. But let's say mine. My free time is starts at $50 hr. Now, that being said, why would I want to waste my time and money doing the same thing over and over again?
We drop serious coin on our rifles and pistols, so why not into reloading equipment? That always baffles me. I'm still a firm believer in buy once, cry once. Wish I would've Known that statement years ago and bought the Dillon and not the RCBS.
