Mark has a 550, but I was thinking about upgrading to a 650, what are your thoughts?
Dillon has an "Essential package" for 9mm, hmm? And an upgrade option for $150 or so.
Any feedback is much appreciated.

I had a 1050 when they came out and was still shooting competitively.
It was great if loading a single caliber. However it had dies similar to the Square Deal that were a pain to change.
I went with the 650 20+ years back. I assume the 750 is an improvement.
I would suggest getting the case feeder with it/ if the 750 doesn’t come with one.
It is no problem loading 5/600 pistol RDs in a couple hrs. with the case feeder.

A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
I love my 650. If you're going to switch primer sizes, I hear it's a PITA, but I only load 9mm and 5.56 on mine. They sell an additional primer assembly so that you can have one for large and one for small. The casefeeder is an add-on, but I think it's absolutely necessary. I load 500 rounds an hour comfortably and produce good ammo on mine.
I love my 650.
The extra station for a powder check die is a big bonus to me. I like the priming system on the 650 and find it quite reliable, not difficult to change sizes.
You will want to get an In-line Fabrication mount, and some other stuff like a polymer ball bearing for the shell plate stop. Case feeder is a must.
Until you get all the case feeder shell plates, and other case handling hardware caliber conversions will be about $250. Fair warning.
I've loaded on a 650 and a 750, I like the 750. The primer system is simple, like a 550, plus a few other small things make it a little better press I think. That said I will never give up my 1050, for 5.56 and 9mm it is the way to go(or the new RL1100).

Anybody have any esperience with the auto loader attachment
