I run a 550B and just notice something.. I keep having the urge to pick up another quick change.. my original plan was to have one powder measure set up for pistol and one for rifle... yet I find myself questioning and then buying another, now I have a total of three... one in 40S&W, one in 223, and one in 45ACP.. the two sets on Dillon stands looks super nice on my shelf.. almost reminisence of a trophies.. the odd ball idea is formulating of getting one for 308 and 9mm.. I think laziness is the culprit but had to ask...is it just me?

Dillon Quick Change.. is it just me?
Collapse

-
I have 8 toolheads and 2 powder drops. Can't bring myself to pay $75 per powder drop. Plus setting the dies is much more annoying than dialing the charge. -
I have 3 complete heads for my 550b. One in 9mm, one in 223, and one in 38spl. When I want to load another caliber I just wait until I have enough money to get the complete head with powder measure. It's expensive but worth it IMO. I mean come on let's face it, I spend over $200 a month on my cable bill. I suppose a couple hundred bucks for a conversion that I'll hand down to my grandkids is worth it.Chris

I like your way of thinking, I have 10 tool head with powder die and all of the funnels... it's the stands and powder drop measure that's costlyI have 3 complete heads for my 550b.

$200 for cable.
Not to get OT but I pay $125 for premier digital, HD, DVR, and internet.Comment

I really have no idea how much our cable bill is, I was just guessing. My wife pays all the bills. I assumed it was over $200. We have pretty much every option you can get, pay channels, etc..Chris

Just called home. The wife said our cable bill is a little over $170. I stand corrected (but will continue to buy full caliber conversions
)
She said our last water bill was over $150
We need to cut back...Chris

This always happens when you drink the Blue KoolAid. Wait till you get tired of changing over the primer system, so you run one 550 for large primer & one 550 for small primer. But wait there is still a greater degree of sickness. You get a 650 also and to make matters worse you buy extra Dillon die sets so you don't have to readjust dies. Ask me how I know?Comment

You hit it on the head! I'm thinking of getting another 550B for the same reason (Primer), though the should not as I do not have the space. Just sold my 650 because I did not like the Primer change system but now wishing I possibly should not.. good thing Dillon hold 85% of their value, so acquiring another one is not too costly. 650 was ideal for the 223, 38, 9, and 40 for small primer..This always happens when you drink the Blue KoolAid.
