I imagine it would be tough getting the seating and crimping die setup on a progressive. I loaded about 200 rnds of 500 on a 550 and decided it would be better to do on a forester coax. I charge the cases with an rcbs charge master. Let us know how that 650 turns them outOriginally posted by elSquidLike Yoda said: "Buy. Or buy not. There is no whine."

I should say I am not using the powder die/charge system of the 650 for the 500 mag.
I am running through the decappers die, then the primer feed, then pop each case off and fill them with exactly the same powder (using my gravity powder scale).
Then i will sit the case back and run it through the flare/size die, then pop the bullet on and run it through the seat/crimp die. seems pretty straight forward to first set the seat depth to the cannelure, back the seating tube out, loosen then crimp die, get the right crimp, tighten the die, then put the seat tube back down and tighten.
Works well for my cannelured 308 that i put a decently heavy crimp on for my AR10.-- I love the mythological significance given to Dum Dum Bullets.

Talk to Ranger Rick in Kodiak Alaska. He'll set you up with some 700 grain monsters. They just barely clear the gap when the cylinder rotates.

One of my favorite rounds to reload, if you want a good selection of different types of heads try Matts bullets. I think the lead is a little soft and leads the barrel but great selections and lots of fun.

I described one of my hotter loads for my 454 as holding an earthquake in my hand. Don't know how I would describe what you're attempting.Comment
