Hornady Reloading App
Yi Pressimone
Brass is the foundation for what could be the most memorable shot of your lifetime. Extra time and care is taken in the creation of our cases, producing smaller lots that meet strict quality standards.
Our cases offer reloaders excellent uniformity in wall thickness, weight and internal capacity. We measure for consistently tight wall concentricity and even run our cases through a pressure calibration test to ensure uniform case expansion during firing.
The art of reloading requires the use of many caliber-specific tools and accessories. Many of our tools offer multiple sizes that must be aligned with your reloading efforts. Find out what dies and accessories you will need to complete your reloading project.

The Lock-N-Load Iron Press loader is built to be the heaviest, most rigid press in its class. Tight tolerances in manufacture and assembly combine to provide consistency and precision that will deliver match accurate ammunition, round-after-round, year-after-year.

What I would have happen: would be loading great for about 75-100 rnds, then I would have the shell plate not index correctly (just barely, not exactly noticeable at first), causing powder to miss a case, ruin the lip of the case to be sized, put powder underneath the shell plate since it missed causing more issues etc. (this was when I was loading 45 for single stack)
Cost for cost; did the 650 save you much over the 1050 if you could do it over again? At this point I'm ready to buy once and cry once, recoup my investment over (less than?) a year of shooting. I get factory ammo dirt cheap, but not reloading cheap, and its starting to add up.
Far enough off to tear up a case is pretty far off. Check pawls for damage, go through adjustment procedure again, very small changes on the screw make big changes in indexing. I had to fiddle with mine for a bit every few hundred through the first 2k or so, but haven't touched them since, but it was never that far off and mostly on the downstroke.
I picked up a Dillon 650 XL in 2014 in a sweetheart deal. I wasn't able to actually start using it due to a move from Oregon to Texas and some health problems till 2016. The Dillon just flat worked. I picked up a case feeder for it about 9 months ago. I sold the Hornady last month. I'm very happy with my 650 XL. I don't shoot as much as some but more than most, around 500 rounds per week. That boils down to less than an hour sitting at the press. I've had one problem due to a weak spring and that was quickly solved and cured with a call to Dillon. I always hated calling Hornady as the CS there was luck of the draw.
My only gripe is that changing the primer size on the Dillon is more involved and takes longer than it did on the Hornady. However, the Dillon primer system WORKS. After years of fiddling and some aftermarket parts I had gotten my Hornady priming system to where it as 96% reliable if it was kept spotlessly clean, let it get dirty and it went to hell.
IMHO the Dillon 650 is head and shoulders above the Hornady LnL AP. The case feeding system on the Hornady seems to have been an afterthought and the Dillon 650 was built around the case feeding system. There's also a much better aftermarket support for the Dillon. Lots of little upgrades that can make a big difference.
3 shooting friends have LNL presses. All complain about all the fiddling and adjustments it constantly needs. The only thing they like on the LNL press is the micrometer powder measure adjustment. I've been trying to get them to drink the blue koolaid. I started out on the Square Deal B and upgraded 18 months later to a Super 1050. I only reload 40cal for competition so the Super 1050 is a no brainer. Added a Mr Bullet Feeder to speed uo the reloading process even more.
Thank you to everyone else on their input vs the Dillon's... Ill be saving for the blue 1050 koolaid.. but in the meantime, this weekend will be trying to get that LNL to work properly or find out the reason its failing me.
I don't know your friends, but its simply not that hard to keep a LNL running if it was I would not have them. I am not going to say they are better than a 650 but I do think they have some advantages. The LNL index is smoother, and the powder measure I think is better. The effort to change calibers is pretty minimal but there usually is some adjustment required after a change. The case feeder on the 650 is better from what I have seen but the Hornady does work it is the part that does require some tweaks to make it work right. As far as CS goes I would not know as I have not needed them. I have loaded thousands of rounds on the LNL without issue, I usually clean it off every 10-12k but that's about it.
