Well, wasn't today, but bought a Dillon 1050 about a month ago. Just hacked together a trim die for way less than dillon wanted, so I can load 223 or 308 bulk ammo with two passes through the machine....
Very cool mat. I've got to pull the trigger on the 650 xl
I swear I burned a 10,000 calories trying to decide between a 650 and a 1050. But I was upgrading from a Hornady Lock-N-Load, and the 1050 swaging the primer pockets turned the tide. It is way more expensive, but once you've played with one... holy crap.
If you do end up with a 650, there is an aftermarket attachment that lets you swage on a 650. It swages on a the upstroke, and Dillon says they will void your warranty if you use it... but I can't imagine they would ever find out.. swageit.com
If you happen to be in Bixby, you are welcome to swing by and play with the 1050.

Was it difficult to setup/dial in your 1050 for .223?

No, I bought it in 9mm and since they share primer sizes it is about a half hour conversion. The 1050 is not nearly as complicated as people make it out to be.
Been picking up S&W Chiefs Specials when I can.
We'll see if anyone knows what these will be installed on...
I'm betting a S&W 617-4. What do I win?We'll see if anyone knows what these will be installed on...
