I just blew a hole in my ceiling with my new Dillon 650 reloader. The machine seems to have a host of problems. Dosen't feed primers (they consistantly jam), didn't come with the correct components that were ordered for a 45-70. Has a primer stuck in a loading tube. Powder loads are inconsistant, ie 48 to 52 grains. Pretty big range. The primers twist in the feed, the last one causing a large explosion, blowing a hole in my ceiling, shredding the low primer sensor, the primer tamp rod, jamming the mechanism that feeds shells.

This is supposed to be a top of the line machine, but what I have seen so far is a sub par piece of junk. The basic design is sound, but the parts are made out of low quality white metal, stamped parts that lack precision, and horrible tolerances. If made properly, out of quality, precision parts, I could see a good machine, but what I have experienced so far is a total dissapointment.

ANyone else had a similar experience?
