1050 is not covered by the Dillon "no BS warranty"The 1050 will allow for much higher porduction and has a case feed accessory included. Both are very good progressive presses. I loaded 28,000 rounds in 1987 on a Lyman turret press and promptly bought a Dillon 550 that I still use today due to the ease of changing calibers.

Oh well that makes a big difference...
As far as i can see the XL650 can crank out just as many as the 1050. I cant see a whole heck of a lot of differences that justifies the 1050... especially since its soley for handgun ammo and not any rifle..

I love my 650. I can't see the 1050 being better unless you are loading 223s using one fired mil-surprised brass.
A long time ago, I was going to order a 1050. I had a 550 and a 650 at the time. The guy at
Dillon talked me out of it. Basically said 1050 was build for commercial use. Change over takes
much longer. I ordered another 650 and never regretted it.
Xl650 vs the 1050?
Anyone got experience? Im trying to find out which to get...
Loading pistol ammo, 9mm, 40, 44mag, 44 special, 45, 380, etc etc

Holy crap Hoser!! You may have an addiction!! I jest of course! WOW beautiful setup/ups! Simply impressive!I own three 1050s and about 9 different calibers. I got my first 1050 in 1998.
Changing calibers takes about 5 minutes. Add in another 5 minutes if you change primer sizes.
I load 9, 40, 45, 223 and 308 which sometimes have crimped in primers. The 1050 takes care of the crimp every time so none of them slip through the cracks.
After who knows how many rounds through those machines, I have yet to need Dillons warranty. I broke one part and it was totally my fault. I gladly paid for the replacement part.
With a Mr Bulletfeeder I can easily load over 2,000 rounds an hour, without the bulletfeeder about 1,200. And I don't even feel like I am rushing.
The 1050 primes on the downstroke so it is almost impossible to get a high primer. If you are shooting striker fired pistols or reeves with light triggers that is a huge concern.
The 1050 comes with a casefeeder and dies. With a 650 both of those are extra.
I don't know of anyone that has downgraded from a 1050 to a 650 but I know a lot of people that have gone from the 650 to the 1050.
