You all seemed to have missed the point that I have sent this 650 back to Dillon, who adjusted it, and it still operates the same way.
If the 650 somehow loads all of these rounds, without a problem, I will also post that. I chose 500, maybe 1000 to be a large enough sample to properly document the problem. Dillon sent me a new primer system, so I am starting with that (the old one blew up). Dillon's warranty is not in question, they just keep sending new parts, no charge, they check out the machine for free, they align it, but that dosen't decrease the danger from primer detonations.
Their 550, and 1050 uses a differen't primer system, is far more popular and probably is the basis for their reputation.
I build race engines for many differen't cars, they do not fail because of any workmanship problems due to me, in fact they have not failed, period. I have built many microelectronic devices, using thick film, thin film hybrids, monolithic integrated circuits using equipment in a lab that I have set up from scratch. This stuff is much more touchy and difficult mechanically than any reloading machine.
I have lawyers that work for me, they can be sicked on people for defamation of character. What I will be posting is simple my observations, carefully documented. I don't care if a company puts out a somewhat less than optimum piece of equipment, but if it can blow up in your face, people need to be aware of that possibility. I will be reviewing the Dillon 650 and post my opinion of what I saw. People can take it or leave it, its just my opinion.
