[QUOTE="TexSavage, post: 1155221, member: 6245"] Not sure how you came up with $4,200, but a few comments. Myself and 2 buddies wen in and bought a 650 with case feeder, Dillon dies, shell plates for case feeder, die heads, spare parts kit, case powder sensor, conversion kits for .45ACP & .40SW, & a few other miscellaneous items and our cost was about $325 each. That also included freight, and we got it from Powder Valley which saved us freight costs because they gave us a 5% discount and it was dropped ship to my office. We typically load 600 to 800 .45 ACP an hour and usually load several times a month. Also I'd look real hard at the Lee Factory Crimp die as your final die if you'll be shooting the same handgun round in various handgun makes and models. It sure has erased the headaches. So far we have about 50,000 rounds that have been run through the press. Now maybe those costs would be upped big time if you do the .338, but I am thinking not quite that much. I am also unsure as to if the 650 will load .338 Lapua although I do see the .338 Win Mag and Ultra Mag, but I have no experience with that beast. I would make a phone call to their technical pre sales support and see what they say, then call the guys at Powder Valley and ask them. My 2cents for what it's worth. [/QUOTE]
