OT - Cheap Tips and Tricks for Dillon 550B and XL650 Presses

[COSteve]

Over the years I've come up with a number of upgrades and tips to help make my Dillon 550B and later my XL650 more enjoyable for me to use. Some have found them useful. As I updated my tips on AR15.com this morning at the request of a member, I decided I provide a link to my post here in case any of you might want to see it. I hope my ideas are helpful. Feel free to copy any or all of them.

Thanks for the tips. I bought a 650 last year......... I am happy that someone has addressed some of the 'issues'. Needless to say it has been a real challange to get it running correct and smoothly! I gotta say--- I would not buy it again if I knew now what I do.

Dillion must have some really strong koolaid!

I'm sorry that you've had issues with your 650 as that's certainly not the norm with other owners. Is it your 1st press? If so, shoot me an email with any questions and I'll be glad to see if I can help. My post is really just a few tips I've developed to enhance my reloading experience because I'm a bit of a tinkerer. Most users find a stock 650 works great for them or if they have a question, issue, or problem, a call to Dillon Tech Support will get them pointed in the right direction and/or the replacement parts sent free of charge to them.
