Hopefully the decision making [on buying a label maker] will be less taxing than pulling the trigger on a 650XL.....


The label makers come in green, purple, and yellow.

This may take me a couple of weeks.   ;D

Toolhead fit between stock and Jofer without the pins in place is VERY close, but I think the stock toolhead has slightly less side-to-side play.  With the pins in, they seem to have identical and minimal play. 

I am not disappointed in any way.  I'm just not seeing a better fit.  Only equal.

When it comes to appearance, however, these new ones are infinitely better looking.

Prices jump all over the place on a nearly daily basis. Red, blue, and clear are usually the lowest price. I'm waiting on a good price on purple, green, and yellow.

That way I can do "mood reloading".  ;D

Funny -- You've mentioned purple, green, and yellow twice now, and those are my top three, as well.

I REALLY like the purple on it's own, and I REALLY think the yellow will look super sharp in the press.

That's the second "purple" for you too.   ;D

I never thought much about the color until my cute young niece started wearing only purple. For years !!

Dig the purple. I also like/have/use 4 of 650 these toolheads (green and silver) and plan on buying more in the near future.
I buy rifle calibers in pairs (one being a dedicated prep/trim head and the other being a dedicated load head).
I think Blue and Red will be my next colors. Price / quality is hard to beat.

One other thing that I LOVE about these is that they are totally flat on the top, where as the dillons have a 1/16" lip around the die stations. Why does this matter? So that I can mount Lee quicktrim mount brackets directly to the toolhead for cheap, caliber dedicated, hot-swap trim toolheads.

Green means Go!
I use to hate prepping 30 carb brass.
