Now, that is also assuming the reloading bench is in the garage near where the other tools are.

    Congrats.
    Yea my tools will be right on the other side of the garage but id like to have them readily available.

    Yep. Keeping primers flowing is probably the biggest hindrance to your ammo production on the 650

    Very good point, found the same scale but a 300g limit for $30. Thanks for the tip!

      Woo hoo! Placed my order. I ended up getting (2) 4 packs of small primer tubes and (1) 4 pack with two large and two small, so ill be getting 11 small primer tubes and 3 large primer tubes. Ill get more large tubes when I start loading rifle rounds. I ended up not getting the scale because thanks to Eargasm I checked online and found a slightly larger limit scale for $30, the powder tray for $11, and the 100 gram weight for $3. So for under $50 I have all three shipped to me and save $25.

      Thanks for your help fellas I appreciate it! Time to hurry up and wait!

        If you don't have a tumbler and media separator system already, I cannot recommend the Dillon ones enough, get the big boy version, the smaller one will not feed a 650 fast enough

          That's one of the things I'm going to be checking into while waiting for the press. Thanks for the recommendation!

            You can add the tumbler/separator system to your order with Brian if you let him know soon enuff.

              Thanks for the feedback from the other side of the coin.
