I've had a XL650 for about 25 years, but it's been "mothballed" for about the last 12 years. Just set it up again, ran into problems while loading 38's and I've decided to 'hot rod' it with several "improvements" to the press, such as bearings instead of friction contacts. First run of 38's gave me a few bad loads but it's pretty easy to correct once you learn (or re-learn!) all the functions of the press and the 'fine' adjustments possible, and necessary. If I was looking for a progressive it would be the XL650. Their Lifetime Warranty is beyond good. Have some parts coming right now from just one quick phone call with a highly knowledgeable tech support agent.
