This may seem like I'm trolling or stirring it up, but I've no experience with the Dillon 550's and 650's, and this topic came up in a roundabout way on another thread... I use a Hornady LNL AP, and don't understand the logic behind the guys who use multiple Dillon presses, so here's my question.
Minimally, a Dillon 550 is in the general neighborhood of $500, setup for one caliber (I know, the 650 is 'way more than that, but for argument's sake I wanna keep this simple). Dillon touts their toolhead setup as a quick way to make caliber changes. On my Hornady, I can swap out and reload in a different caliber in about 70 seconds; I've timed it a couple of times, and my best time from decision to action was 50 seconds.
So why do you Dillon fans who post pics of multiple Dillon setups (550's and better) need them? I mean, a minimal cost of $500 seems pretty extravagent to avoid the caliber changing procedure.
