Hoss Posted November 23 Share Posted November 23 (edited) I started reloading with a Lee Loadmaster. Loaded thousands on it. Wanted to be able to run a powder check so upgraded to a D 650. Good press, but I did not care for the priming system. The priming system on my D550 was much better. Then Dillon came out with the 750, with linear primer system I bought one, sold my 650. Cost me about $100 to upgrade. It was worth it! today , I noticed the in-service date on the 750. 11/23/20. Checked my primer count hashmarks, I’ve loaded 20K plus on the machine in exactly 4 years. . It’s worked very well!

Woodchuck Willy 114613 Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 I need to move to a progressive press also. I currently use the Lee classic turret press. For progressive I would like 5 die slots and auto primer, case, and bullet feed. Would something like that Dillon 750 work well? I will be loading 38 special. what kind of cost can I expect for that set up? Thanks and don’t mean to hijack your post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But depending on the bullet feeder, you may lose the slot to run a powder check station 1 deprime & size station 2 prime and powder station 3 powder check station 4 bullet seating station 5 Lee factory crimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackwater 53393 Posted November 26 Share Posted November 26 The XL750 is really versatile, but it’s not inexpensive to buy and set up. If you’re wanting to use a bullet feeder, you COULD use a combination seat & crimp die. That would allow you to keep the powder check or other die in your system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
