They are usually my first look for brass or bullets.
The heavy loads, while they can take them, would use them sparingly, if at all.

Yeah buddy! I've accidentally made flash holes in berdan brass with my Blue.

Cops don't normally call, they knock. And you're lucky nowadays if you get that courtesy!

Instead of lanolin and alcohol, try PEG75 lanolin and alcohol. Works better for me, cheaper, AND best of all, it's water soluble!

I've had that happen when the case hits the crimp shoulder before the bullet is fully seated. A seating only die, no issues. A seating/crimping die, die adjustment will get ya.

I have that issue if I have nickel and brass mixed, if it runs for longer than a minimum amount of time. That being said, it's done with a magnetic stirring tumbler I made, and cleaning time is...

Never heard of it. But what I read, and the 2 ytube videos that exist, I decided to order one. Need something that can do mid sized batches, and this looks like it would fit the bill. Going to run...

Hopefully this is the right form to post this in. Have a chance to get a tin roof off of an old carriage house that was built back in the late 1800's. Looks like modern corrugated "tin" roof, but...

Absolutely! Have the big blue, and have decapped at least 50k LC 5.56 with it, and the pin is still going strong.

Check out a sellar on ebay called snowshooze. I think that is right. He makes some really cool stuff for a 650. I bought his primer stop, case feed stop, roller index, and even his single stage...

Stuff rusts in Baytown fast. I'm 40ish miles from the water, and with our humidity, I have a hard time even without the salt!

Not saying I'm trading my 650 in, far from it. It already has the most reliable priming system I've ever had on a press. Might ought to buy a spare or two just to have on hand in case they start...

Looks like Dillon just discontinued the 650, and now has a 750. Not much info have I seen on the differences, except the 750 has a different priming system, and comes with a roller shellplate...
Still have my first one. First year production, in 45 colt. That is one gun that will never leave my grasp!

I'm torn between Mark7 autodrive (in the future) and the drives from fast and friendly brass. I'm leaning toward the later. I like the idea of being able if needed to fix things with off the shelf...

What will probably do you well is a Lee collet crimp die.
Finally got to take mine to the range today. 300 rounds later, I am convinced that it will take at least 300 more to really get used to it. Longer cartridge than the 40 I have been carrying for a...
Forgot to mention he has some 200 grain lube groove molds left.
