I have a Dillon XL 650 that I've reloaded lots of rifle ammo on, including precision match ammo for a high power over-the-course rifle.
The one change I've made is not to use the Dillon power measure, but instead to use a precision digital powder measure with a powder funnel. I set the powder measure up next to the press, and push the button to get a charge to be measured while I seat the previous bullet, etc. Then I fill the next case, cycle the press, etc. I find I can load 100 rounds in about 30 minutes, from empty cases to loaded rounds.
Of course, using the factory powder measure knocks about half the time off... you can reload a round every 10 seconds or faster, and it's good enough for prairie dog shooting.
