Dillon 750

[Hoss]

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!

 Excellent.

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.

The D 750 will work.  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

A split case. I tell myself I’m going to salvage primer, never actually do it!

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.

I have been told that I can still use the powder checker and bullet feeder but would have to replace station 4 & 5 with a seater/crimp die.

I load 9mm/38spl and have an LNL / AP with six stations

1. Deprime/size

2. prime

3. expand mouth / powder drop

4. DAA POWDER ALARM

5. Roberts bullet feeder / Mr bullet die

6. DAA COMBO SEATER /crimp die 

 

natchezss.com has the LNL AP ammo plant for sale $1,359. With dies and the powder check, your at $1500-$1600

 

A Dillon 750xl with case feeder and dies will push $2200+. Adding a bullet feeder will be another $300-$500 depending on what you buy
