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.

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.

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

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

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

I'm still waiting on my various pieces from Dillon. But by buying off of eBay and AR15 I've acquired everything I need to load 45acp, 357, 44mag, 380 and 5.56.
