    Default Time to upgrade to a Dillon help me go shopping.

    So I shoot a lot of 9mm and 308 below is my shopping list. Does it look like it will do the job.

    XL 650
    RT 1500 and dies
    Case Feeder
    Strong mount
    Bullet Tray
    Powder Check

    Am I missing anything?

    I'm almost there as well... So I'm interested.

    Case feeder?
    Roller arm?
    Audible powder alarm?

    Side not what step are you using the trimmer on?

    Hope I'm not jacking your thread... Tell me to GTFO I won't be offended.

    I'm going to use the trimmer on case prep only. Decap, swage, resize/trim is my idea. I use a lot a military brass

    You're not swaging on a 650.

    How much do you shoot in a week? What press/presses where you previously using?
    If the Odds are equal, you're doing it wrong

    It varies but a couple times a year I shoot up to 10k rounds on a weekend.

    I'm currently using a Lee turret press which is getting old and slow.
