Not a beginner. I have a Dillon 550 that I have reloaded on for the past 2 years and reloaded on a lee classic turret for about 10 years before that. Also as stated I picked up the 650 exactly because it is the same press I reloaded on from about 12 years old to sometime in college and I reloaded 10s of thousands of shells on that old press.

I found this comment by another poster on this forum and am currently trying to research its feasibility.

"If you pull the bolt that holds the mast in place, and lower the press 1/4", you will see there is room to drill and tap and new hole in the mast. This will lower the whole machine, and still allow adjustment back to 2 3/4" or 3". You will have to re-adjust the drop tubes.

I have a 650 with this done to it, and it works perfectly."
