Processing 223/308: Dedicated 650 or 1050?
I have two 650s currently. One I got used and should send to dillon for a service and the other is new. Both have case feeders.
I have a lot of 223 and 308 brass that need sized, trim, swaged etc. about 1.5 5gal buckets of each.
I have the Swage It tool and haven’t used it yet. Thought about making one of the 650s a Brass process machine with the Swage It, manual operated. Keep the other 650 for pistol reloading.
Or...I can look into the price of a used 1050. I reached out to the guy I bought the used 650 from and he’s gonna give me a price, likely $1200+ I’m guessing.
What’s are some thoughts on either way? I know the swage it voids warranty. I should try it and see what I think first really. That could sway my decision on a 1050.
I typically don’t buy retail when used tools that aren’t beat up work just fine. I know dillon has two new presses coming up (excluding the 750) but they’ll likely be more than I wanna spend.
I might be able to sell processed brass as well once I determine the proper setup.
