    Anyone use this?

    http://www.uniquetek.com/product/T1231

    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.
    https://www.taylor-tactical-supply.c.../dillon-pb.htm I even found a knob that presses onto the end of the adjuster nut on the powder measure for like $5bucks,also works great. Will have to find that for ya if your interested.

    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.

    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.

    No I haven't. I've used n350 and ar comp but not varget. I only load that in my bolt gun, and measure each load for it.

    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.
