And all those who shoot it..... 
I'm a newbie reloader. I'm the one who's had issues with his brand spanking new 650. Some of those issues have been resolved (due to little-to-no help by Dillon), but some remain.
The biggest issue? .40 cases which have been shot by Glocks. Their unsupported chambers create a ridge which my case re-sizer cannot smooth out. Out of an average of 150 reloads, I'll invariably have around 25-30 rounds which don't pass the case-gauge check (yes, I check every round afterwards). I then proceed to pull the barrel from my Walther and use it as a gauge to verify the balance of these cartridges. At the end of it all, I'll have 5-6 rounds which won't seat fully in the chamber. All 30 of these cartridges exhibit the now-frustrating outward ridge found on half of the cases' circumference, about 1/16" from the extraction groove.
Let it be known that I now officially hate Glocks. I never found them aesthetically pleasing, which in and of itself is a poor reason to not like what is supposed to be a reliable firearm. But now that I reload myself, I hate the sum##### even more. My close shooting buddy just bought a Glock 22 a month ago. We shoot together, side by side, every Tuesday evening. I fear that our friendship will definitely suffer unless he starts to shoot from a stall further away from me so as to prevent our mixing up of our spent cases.....
Did I mention that I hate Glocks?
