Default Dillon XL650 Instruction

I have ordered a Dillon XL 650 and pieces are trickling in. I have all the components I need to get started but before I do once I receive all of my reloading equipment, I was wondering if there is anyone in the Palm Springs area that uses that press and would be willing to show me their press in operation. I will be reloading pistol cartridges primarily and could use any pointers that someone would be willing to give me. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks guys, I have watched the videos, read books etc., just nothing like having the press and someone experienced right in front of you.

what exactly are you looking to learn? Its a pretty easy press to use. I bought mine and man it was sooo much easier to use than my old lee progressive and far more accurate tossing the powder. PM me you questions I work out of Palm Springs I might be able to help you set it up when you get it.

Yes this is my first press. I feel confident about my ability to get it up and running without any problems. It's the little tricks and things you learn from someone that has been doing it a while. I will PM you guys if I run into problems. Thanks
