Dillon XL650 Reloading Tutorial for 9mm Luger 

This is way better then the casino. I win every pull

I've had a Dillon Square Deal for well over 20 years. I have load 1000s of rounds with that machine. In the very, very few times anything has gone wrong or broken, Dillon has stood by their warranty with NO questions asked. Dillon has even sent parts to update my old reloader to be compatible with the newer version at no charge. Dillon is a top notch Company with outstanding products.

Thank you very much for the video. My brother and nephews just ordered one of these machines and will be reloading primarily 9mm and 5.56. This is perfect for our needs. I appreciate your thorough tutorial.

Everytime my primer loading tool goes missing I know to look under my wife's side of the bed.

Cleanest the man cave I've ever seen. Hat off to you for that!

No need to lube the pistol cases...but, I do find a difference while reloading, the action is much more smoother (as you would expect). I prefer it.

You came up in my feed as I'm looking into a Dillon press. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally, a quality video to show the reloading process of the Dillon XL650! I'm so glad I came across this wonderful video. Well done!

Simple and straightforward, best introductory video to Dillon I have seen so far. Thank you

You have a knack for videos! Nice clean work space as well. A+

Thanks! I used this as a refresher. I have learned to use a notebook and keep notes on every reload session. There are so many things that can happen that I benefit by noting them and tracking if they are random or need to be fixed.

Great video! I can't believe no one has commented, "phrasing" yet on that bit around @10:28.

Nice video, You do have a knack for making videos, and now I have to clean up my work space.... Thanks for posting!

awesome work sir. I never considered reloading till I saw your setup, very impressive work area!

Nice, clean explanation, which is very useful as I'm a total beginner on how that process goes.

i cant even own a gun, havent shot one prob never will but reloading ammo looks kinda relaxing ive been watching loads of videos on it lol

Wow, what a well put together video. Very organized and super informative. Good work man!

Wow! You and I started on a 650! Almost around the same time and I just found your video! I can't count how many people told me to start on a single stage. Take your time is the best advice!

Thanks for the great video. I cannot wait to start reloading. My dad already has doubles of everything and is going to set me up nicely.

Where did you get that nifty little device that loads the primer tube? Picking them up individually has been the bane of my existence for decades!! That's a great little tool, I need one!!!

would you please do this on a loop for about 10 hours? I'd watch it from start to finish.

I have a pair of 650's. One set up for large primer rounds. One set up for small primer rounds.

Thanks for the excellent demonstration, you really helped me !!! Many could take the lead, great.

Very good explanation of this type of progressive press, thanks.

Brassmen...excellent video and super nice, clean, and organized loading room. OCD in action. :) Thanks for the step by step. I think I found my next progressive.

If I had the money I'd definitely buy one of these, I just dont have the patience to reload manually. I guess my wallet would thank me eventually but I just cant afford the initial investment not have the room for it.

I love your reloading room/Surveillance :)

Great video. Was looking for a no nonsense video on reloading on that type of press. Was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to film it. Great job!

Thank you, video easy and clear!!! Really nice the XL650, really really nice!

By far the best explanation of a reloading press yet. Well done.

I'm from europe any i don't even own a gun but that was a very clean and informatial video. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Great pro tip on the zip lock bag to lube cases. I find I use a lot less lube doing it this way, rather than the cookie sheet method that dillon recommends.

I know this is a little OCD but the end product is not a bullet. It is a round or a cartridge. A bullet is a projectile (those metal objects you put into your bullet tray), while a cartridge is the package consisting of the bullet, primer, and casing containing gunpowder (a round or a cartridge). Great video. I have been looking at maybe buying a Dillon.

Tighten your wing nut to compress the spring about 1/2. Will give positive reset of powder measure belcrank. Nice video.

So satisfying

Nice video. I used to crimp but than I found out 9mm head spaces off the edge so you only need to "crimp" to remove the flare. I would also reduce flaring, it seems excessive. What I ended up is getting NOE expander instead, it's so much better! Instead of creating a funnel that gets dragged on the die edges of your seating die (you can see inside it's all yellow) it partially expands the case top so you can seat the bullet with your fingers straight and that's another advantage is that your bullet will always go up in to the die straight more concentric, better accuracy.

You normally don’t lube pistol brass if your using carbide sizing dies, but to each his own I guess. I have a Dillon XL-650 and 10 caliber conversions. I like your light and primer tool.

great video man thank you for sharing and taking the time to make it

Nice operation you have going. Thanks for sharing the helpful info. Good job.

I use H-6 w 9mm 6.4 gr. Hodgdon Titegroup only fills the case 49 percent at 3.8 gr. You must use to squeak more rounds per pound of powder. HS-6 its harder to over fill and reach dangerous levels. just 5gr of titegroup and you will be over 37000 psi and the Dillion alarm might not go off as its not close to double charge.

@ 5:02 I live in California and this part reminds of the major highways when an accident happens and we all have to get into one lane. The only difference is that, It takes 4 to 6 hours just to get to the single lane point! LOL!!!

Very patient person well done safe shooting👍👍👍👍👍

One of the best videos Ive come across. Thank you.

This setup is fancy AF 🔥

Dude with a little bit of music I could do this alllll day!!!

Great video....love the primer filler thingy.

Hickok 45 recommended if your gonna be shooting a lot of rounds to not invest in a single stage press, just take the money and put it in a progressive press and be done with it

You lube pistol cases??????????? Lol I hit mine with a little Hornady one shot and go. It definitely does make sizing smoother. Probably more noticeable for me right now, as I use a ultra cheap Lee single stage press, like $25 on cheaper than dirt. Gotta love being a relatively broke college student. 3.8gr of titegroup was exactly what I was using when I got some 124gr bullets on the cheap. Normally I load 115gr for 9mm tho and if I recall right i'm using like 4.3gr of titegroup for that I think, maybe 4.5, but definitely no more than that. Cant wait for the day I pick up a Dillon.

It reminds me of those contraptions at the plattsburgh mall where the ball is constantly going

Great quality work. Can I use the same system to reload rifle cartridge ( only changing dies)?

Kudos on that video and your pristine reloading lab. Nice set up.

I've been reloading fro almost 25 years, I've never lubed pistol cases?? I don't think I would want to get the lube in the case feeder but that's just me.. Do what works for you.. Just my opinion man.. Nice Dillon setup & reloading room :)

Great tutorial. I learned.

Good video. Saving it for future reference.

This looks like so much fun... I'm not kidding

just bought a xl750 still in the box. waiting together primers. might be another year.

Crinkling plastic sounds GREAT on a microphone.

Why i was born in Europe WHY.

Nicely Done, keep up the great video's

well done and awesome setup !

I hate this video. This machine seems so easy to use and high quality. Now I have to get one. Thanks a lot...

First thing I noticed, you are wearing safety glasses. I preach this every time I comment on you tube reloading video's. Can't stress enough you only have one set of eye's. Kudo's to you for wearing them! Second thing I noticed is how neat and clean your entire work area is, a place for everything and everything in it's place. Nice tip on adding only enough powder to do the number of rounds you intend to load. And your lighting set up is very zoot. I have one question about your system Sir. Do you wipe the loaded rounds off after you finish a loading session? I do agree that lubing cases, even with carbide dies is the best way to go, however I read a comment on another web page that dropping a lubed round in a case checker can leave residue inside eventually causing you to get false readings. Not sure if that is true or not, just something I read on another post. Above all, thank you for taking time to make and share your video. Everything about it is easy to understand and very professional.

Excellent tutorial - thank you. 🙏🏼

great informative sit

That’s the best set up I’ve seen. How much does it cost? I’m sure it pays for itself with the ammo prices nowadays! Thanks for the video!

Is it just me or was that a lot of belling? Great video though. I like how you set up that lamp to make checking the powder load easier. I’m going to have to give that a shot.

GREAT video!! Just got my 650 today!

Real great video, real professional set up you have there. Im curious as to the cost of that setup and how much reloading ine would have to do in order to make it cost effective.

Great video loved how much information you gave

Awesome video and setup!

Great video and fantastic camera work!

Suggestion. Zero your scale with the primed brass casing on the scale. Load the brass casing with powder and weigh. Weight the brass casing that is now loaded with powder. No "stuck" or "lost" grains of powder to throw the weight off.

A more accurate way to weight your power is to zero the scale with the brass on it. Also, i usually put the spent primer in backwards. That way no stray kernels get caught into the primer itself.

I really enjoyed your video. This is the second one I watched that one of your parts is being miss identified. There are 4 units needed to make 1 bullet only. Unit 1- primer 2- casing 3- powder 4- ball-- the ball that you refer to as bullet is nothing, it is just a ball. The complete assembly is a bullet. The press that you were using is amazing. I was special forces (Navy) 19 yrs Terminology must be used accordingly.

I need to get me one of those

Great video one of the best out there thanks

When you use the caliper, you want to take the measurement at the tips when possible (where the tapered area is).

Great video! Thanks. Bad ass reloading room too. What light are you using?

Great video!

Do you prep your brass before you spray them down in that plastic bag? I had imagined you'd use a ultrasonic cleaner before using the bag and spray techniquethose look more like 38spl

How long to do 100 rounds.Thank you for the video

Excellent video and workflow. Can I ask which dies you are using (types and make?)

I want your reload setup, it’s very nice 👍🏼

Great video... that looks so relaxing and therapeutic. I know what my next hobbie is gonna be. Do you have a link for the 9mm press?

Pretty slick

Excellent video

Wow! This is even more truly Progressive stuff! I sure'd like to get one; please email me how! Thanks!

Thx for the video/ the best one I’ve seen so Far thx u

Do they sell an accessory that loads the Bullet by itself as well or do you have to put a bullet every time?

Awesome setup and great video! That TiteGroup, though....is it nasty stuff or is that just me? My 9mm Luger stuff is DIRTY!

Tried the link for the primer tube filler, and it goes face fillers, lol. Can you fix that, please?

Just wondering the powder sensor. Does that just sense low powder or can it be set to sense a maximum? Also can the powder sensor be set to a range with a minimum and maximum powder? Thank you.

It comes already specific for 9mm? Or do you need to set it up like for lever of powder coming out ?

Do u need to bell out the rim of the 9mm cartridge ?? Sorry I know it’s a stupid question

Wait? You buy the 100.00 power warning system and choose to ignore the buzzer? Why use it if you not going to listen to it? How do you know it did not get a light or heavy load on that round without weighing it?

Why is there a little white pixel on the bottom right hand side

for 124 grain bullet , do you have to put 6 grain powder ?

How many different calibers can you load with that machine?

I have a question when you make your own bullets like that is those around traceable by the police…???

Nice video! thank you.
