[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 273201, member: 4885"] I've loaded somewhere around 200,000 rounds on my Dillon 650 and it is an amazing machine. I wouldn't however EVER use it for large cartridges, I don't think the shell plate is sufficient for resizing/pushing shoulder's back. My long range rifles (7mmRM, 300WSM, 338 Edge and 338 Allen Magnum) are not the type of rifles that will stand for extended range sessions (I'm not enamored with barrel changes). For 'Long Range Rifles', I don't see the necessity of a progressive press. I could load enough ammo in a few hours using a single stage press to severely erode the throat/barrel on any of my 'big boomers'; why would I spend the effort of setting up a progressive for a run of less than 1000 rounds? For rifle rounds out to 500yds or so (308, 223 etc), I am sure my Dillon 650 would be fine (I typically use it for 40SW, 38spcl, 357mag, 9mm etc etc). AJ [/QUOTE]
