Yup! My best shooting buddy had an old Lee turret and it was the bomb. I thought about getting one when my brother refused to return the 550 that I loaned him. But that is another story.

Everyone,
I have been using my Rock Chucker for my means of reloading for over a year and have become quite comfortable with it. However, I am finding that the time I put into my more high volume loads such as .308 winchester, 5.56, 9mm, and 45acp make me think it's time to move to a Turret /multistage press. Since I have the dies, what would you experienced loaders recommend?
running two 650s and a rock chucker
x1 650 for rifle
x1 650 for pistol
on separate benches so I don't get powders and primers mixed up and have an accident. the old chucker I use for load development and small batch hunting rounds
I haven't seen your setup, but from the description, I envy your work space. I am cramped into a 3 foot long bench and have to trade out presses 1 at a time..
I have a 60'x50' shop so its kind of easy.
Dammit!But the walls have ears

i would say, find someone who has the different types and give em a try. at the end of the day they all work the same, the only reason I would recommend companies other than Dillon is that you can get the repair/replacement parts pretty much anywhere and not have to wait on mail order.
that being said, I love my 650s, a bit tedious at first to get setup but the ability to change out toolheads to swap calibers is well worth it.
Looks like something that Norm (from The New Yankee Woodshop) would make if he only had $200.00!!! That being said, the benches are beautiful....Anybody else getting this add popping up between posts?

I'm getting bench envy! American made, and absolutely beautiful.
I'm guessing the 4 piece wrap around set is only slightly less expensive than a new shiny new pickup truck.
