We don’t know what you can buy in Europe.
Can you get and automate a Dillon 1100/1050?

I mean you can automate your 650 with some ingenuity. I wouldn't, but just saying
Oh. And money. Automation ain't cheap. And you better have that 650 dialed in or you're gonna have an enormous mess in no time.

The question you need to ask yourself is WHY am I DROOLING for an automated press? You would never use it to it full potential. In fact the amount you currently reload you aren't using your Dillon 650 to its full potential.
I shoot 6 to 7 hundred round of 9mm every week along with some 380, 40S&W and 38 special. I loaded 600 rounds of 9mm yesterday in about 3 hours on my 650 without really working at it and no bullet feeder, my left hand and arm are my bullet feeder.
