    Reloading bench construction help (low ceilings)

    low ceiling my ceiling is 77". real old house, anyway, the bench height is 35.5 and the height from the bench top is 44.5. with the 650 mounted directly to the bench i have plenty of room to remove or reassemble the casefeeder. I'm of the opinion you do not need the strong mount, just bolt...

    while we're on the subject I spoke to several folks in my area, one had bought a used Dillon only to find out he did not get all of the parts he thought he would. in this case you have to pay for those that are missing. wood

    What would it cost me to set up with Dillon?

    great move Congrats on buying your 650. I'm guessing that you did not get the case feeder.... I would highly recommend the casefeeder and powder check, over the handle and strong mount.... if you can afford it. these make life much simpler.... and you can reload instead of checking...

    Casefeeder for RL 550B

    650 casefeeder I have a 650 with casefeeder, i have to guess its the same for the 550. I have had no issues with it at all, works as described. However if i was making this decision, i would sell the 550 and get a 650. there are 5 stations vs 4, and the price difference is not that much...

    Some primers not seating properly

    cleaning primer pockets I don't clean them either. It would just take too much time. If i find 3 out of 100 with primers not seated properly i just toss them. If i were shooting a bullseye match, etc. and had matched brass etc that would be different i might consider cleaning them. wood

    opinions on price for a used Lee pro 1K

    almost correct philbo, are you referring to the reconditioned 1000's for $96 plus shipping then you correct. The Price for a new 1000 is $215.98 plus shipping. I doubt that LEE would ever undersell their distributors. wood
