What do you want for the .38 cases?

yeah now the choices!!!!!! spoilt with the para ordnance 45acp, loved the STI 40S&W, partial to the 9mm XDM, happy to go with the Glock 17, so if you see a gen 3 or 4 about!!!!!

Think there was one for sale yesterday on the nz IPSC Facebook page will have a look for you

@nzfubz thanks

I think there was a Lee Pro 1000 on there too

Bill Wright, rusa projectiles..... great pricing and great projectiles. Think he may sell powder and primers to.

Don't fuck around with the press either. Just buy a 650 and you won't look back. Dillon carbide dies, and case feeder.

+1 for Bill. He does do powder and primers. I just recently bought a supply of primers and projectiles off him.

Oh and do your research when buying a press. There are others out there that are as good as the Dillon which by the way is a great progressive press but are cheaper to purchase and run.

Also if you ever need change caliber it costs around 70 bucks to do so.
I load 9mm, .40, .38/.357 .223 and .308 on mine. Have a look and see what it will cost you to do all that an a dillon.

One of the biggest benefits to the Dillons is the warranty. If you manage to break something, you just ask them nicely and they send you replacements.

On the caliber conversions, you could always do it the American way and buy a separate 650 for each caliber. Although that may just make your eyes water.

Give Kerry at 'The Gearlocker' a hola or check him on FB, he has a range of Dillon stuff might be able to help you out.

Hey @Tertle,

Kerry has just listed this for sale.

I have a set of Lee dies spear if you need some.

Often these come with a progressive press, so if buying new press, best to go with new dies too.

I know people talk about getting a 650 press, but if you want to fork out over $1k, go ahead. I've run a Lee Pro1000 and haven't ever had any issues in 5000 rounds. I bought it second hand with a spare set of dies (hence I have a spare set) and a box of extra parts. cost $200. Yeah, a 650 or even a 550 would be nice, but its just more money. Plus, changing calibre on a 650 is expensive if more than a Lee. Hornady LnL AP is super fast to swap too.
