As well thought out as the dillon 650 is, the powder bar adjustment is as dumb as it can possibly get. I was thinking of buying one large for different loads in my ar. What's your thoughts?

Looks similar to the MEC for shot shell loading. As long as you spot check it every once in a while with scale I see no issues with it.

I would spot check it. I use a lot of cfe223 it meters really well. Honestly though I haven't found a powder that didnt meter well yet, through the 650

Unless your supper concerned with measurements right down too the single grain,save your $$$ and buy this. I have them on mine and they work perfect. Just a thought and me being a cheap ass they work great.

Have to agree with scoutguy, I use MRDial that runs $25 but that Taylor Tactical for $10 would be hard to beat for the money.

I'm a little OCD on powder measuring, lol. I saw the Taylor tactical knob and was interested in it as well. I will probably have about three different ar loads after I get one figured out for my new upper.

Oh yea I hear ya,I'm not to far behind ya,,LOL I gave one to a buddy who is a why did ya buy that kinda guy,my "stock" Dillon works just fine. I said shut-up and take it. Anyways he installed it and said it works really good ! Hey for a third of the price give it a try and let us know what ya think. Now I just saw the MRdial last night, that looks cool also, but I'm cheap and my TT-dial works great and looks really like the same thing only different,:),LOL just a bit fancy with the brass dial.

No kidding! The Dillon powder measures are pretty good when using ball powder and some of the small cut extruded powder like H322 and XBR, but any longer cut powders it’s a no go. Varget.. oh hell no. That’s going to be a .6 - .7 accuracy range and also a mess. It’ll get all stuck up / bridge on the drop then spill out all over your press.

Alternatively... Just buy several extra powder bars, and change them out, rather than making adjustments.

Especially changing calibers, it saves a lot of headaches to just have a pre-set powder bar with the toolhead.

Or IMR 4064. Holy smokes, that stuff is rough. I have a buddy who runs it in his Dillon. So I tried it. I got bad bridging, and ended up spilling powder all over the shell plate when the bridge let go. Hell no.
