I would give up on both Dillon and short and keep the belt with a 300 Weatherby.

You'd be better off loading rifle on a Dillon 650. The 1050 brings nothing extra to the table and HAD A FEW SHORTCOMINGS for loading rifle. OAL variance for one thing, and you cannot properly resized and load rifle on the same toolhead unless you are using a Lee Collet die. The cases have to be lubed, and then it needs to be removed before you lube.

Actually a Dillon 550 is likely a better choice.

Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
