Quick change kit
9mm carbide dies
9mm case gauge
case feeder small pistol plate

My 650 shipped with the caliber kit installed. I would imaging that if I ordered it with an out of stock caliber, then I would have been waiting longer.

hAkron · February 26, 2013, 06:40 PM

Still waiting on my pickup tubes and my wrench kit.

Today (2-26) I ordered myself a Toolhead, a Toolhead stand, and a 38/357 caliber conversion. Hopefully it gets here.

Kind of off topic, but I just ordered the basics this time around. I really like the 9mm Dillon Dies, but I plan to transition over most of my existing dies for other calibers. I have a good mixture of RCBS, LEE, and Hornady dies, as well as some Redding competition seating dies. In addition, I have a Hornady LnL AP press, and for most of the caliber for which I reload, I have a Hornady powder die and a universal expander. I also have the a few (not enough for all of my calibers) of the quick change metering inserts. Maybe eventually I'll decide to completely migrate over to the 650 (so far I think it's quality is far superior to my Hornady LnL...but it's still new and hasn't had any issues yet...time makes fools of us all). But I want to take advantage of my current equipment as much as possible.

Wow! Can't do much better than that!

hAkron · February 27, 2013, 05:13 PM

The balance of my original order showed up today - pickup tubes and wrench kit with stand. Just under 4 weeks for a Dillon 650 with all if the trimmings.

GT1 · March 4, 2013, 04:49 PM

Did you order 223 dies, and a case gauge too? Just curious because the .223 dies were supposed to be 8 weeks out. Hopefully this is a very good sign that they are starting to get over the hump.

GT1 · March 4, 2013, 05:25 PM

Nope, I already have a Dillon .223 case gauge and I own a couple sets of dies, thankfully.

The dies are a killer right now, any brand.

Eb1 · March 4, 2013, 05:41 PM

Ordered Feb 23. from Brian.

Received 550b press setup for .223 in about a week.

Still waiting on:
Brian Enos "As it should be" kit
Case Lube
.44 Mag deluxe caliber conversion

bobinoregon · March 5, 2013, 12:16 AM

Ordered a 30 m1 cal conversion for the 550 direct from Dillon last thurs, got email sat that it had been shipped. Buying direct was about 1/3 the price the conversions are going for on ebay. Even paying shipping on just one item it was still only about $55 total

Hartebreak · March 5, 2013, 02:03 AM

Eb1, are you saying you ordered a RL550B on FEB 23 in .223 and you already recieved it??? How is that even possible??

hAkron · March 5, 2013, 07:06 PM

My 357/38 caliber conversion, tool head, and tool head stand arrived today. Exactly 1 week.

MikeS. · March 5, 2013, 11:48 PM

Im need to call Dillon and cancel my press. I bought 1 off of AR15.com, used.

2bfree · March 6, 2013, 03:13 PM

Ordered on 2/21 some extra pickup tubes, ammo boxes, case gauge, and even a calender this time.Got it today. I should have gotten the calender a long time ago

FatboyHD · March 14, 2013, 01:23 PM

Tomorrow will end week number five, no word yet on my xl650

MikeS. · March 15, 2013, 01:07 AM

I recd the used press I bought. Dillon shipped a .223 shell plate, pins and powder funnel. Still have several other items I'm waiting on from them.

HighExpert · March 15, 2013, 08:58 PM

Got my .223 dies Wed, March 13. Now, if my primers would come, I would be in business.

FatboyHD · March 19, 2013, 08:15 PM

Got my notification today my XL 650 shipping has been initiated. Press is due in on 3/22. If it arrives then will have been 42 days or right at 6 weeks for delivery. I ordered directly from Dillon.

Boomer4570 · March 19, 2013, 08:54 PM

On 03/15/13 I ordered:45 ACP dies, 45 ACP caliber conversion, toolhead, toolhead stand, and a powder measurer for my 650xl. We will see how long it takes to get here.

boomeradf · March 19, 2013, 09:06 PM

Ordered a pair of 550 caliber conversions on 3/13 billed today.

FatboyHD · March 22, 2013, 07:44 PM

XL650 arrived today 6 weeks to the day from ordering.

hAkron · March 22, 2013, 10:16 PM

Congrats! Let us know how you like it once you get it set up. I love mine so far. Way better than my Hornady LnL AP

FatboyHD · March 22, 2013, 11:24 PM

Thanks, yeah real sturdy piece of equipment.

MikeS. · March 23, 2013, 06:59 AM
