couple 650 Dillon tricks:
1) I used a variation of Vonfatman's spent primer tube-into-large container....no more errant primers everywhere *THANKS Bob!!!
2) I abandoned the 'printed label/masking tape' for powder ID...went to "NON permanent marker pen directly ON the powder measure with ~sometimes~ min&max charges, OAL, fps if I want it, etc. Comes off easily with many liquid cleaners on a paper towel with no trouble;
3) the hassle of changing PRIMER SIZES. After many years of dreading this (and losing the really GOOD little tool idea for removing the primer punch...what WAS that anyway?~~~I have changed my reloading schedule into only needing to do this once or twice a year!!!
How? You ask? Recognize there's only 2 primer sizes: I load everything I have in "large primer" before changing punch sizes. Then I load everything I have in the other punch size. This means that maybe once (or twice) a year I need to switch. No problem, as this is ideal time for press cleaning & maintenance anyway.
