Sees Target (5/11)

  1. The dies are case hardened. You will have to anneal the top of the die to be able to thread it, bore out the top exhaust port. It can be done, as that is how the original prototypes were made 40+ years ago. You could contact ch4d.com for customer trim dies. They are slow, but reliable.
  2. call or email us and ask for an alignment tool. If you email, please include your address.
  3. Push down on the edge of the shellplate at station 4. If it feels springy, then the shellplate bolt needs to be slightly tighter.
  4. First, clean and grease the primer disc axle pin. This is the most common cause for the disc failing to rotate fully. If this does not correct the problem, then shim the primer arm cam, the black polymer cam bolted to the upper right front frame strut with a piece of cardboard. If this corrects it, then contact Dillon for a replacement cam, as yours is worn.
  5. I sugest you email Dillon Precision with a photo and your address, and request a replacement pin. The knurling may be marginal on the pin. The smooth surface of the pin needs to be well greased.
  6. Push down on the edge of the shellplate at station 7, the seat die position. If it feels springy, then the shellplate lock rings needs to be tighter.
  7. The handles are a screw machine part, made from round bar stock. Based on the discoloration it appears to have been partially cracked for a while.
  8. NATE40, Have you checked out the various tech videos on the DIllon website? Product Videos| XL750 (dillonprecision.com) Your issues are almost always adjustment-related. Have you called the 800-223-4570 number while you are in front of the loader for assistance? That's why our CSRs are here. If all else fails, we will have you send us your loader, with the toolhead, dies, etc adjusted as is, so we can troubleshoot it here.
  9. Be aware that the 550 case feeder will not feed rifle length cases, including 223. How it works is the case must be short enough to slide under the end of the decap pin. 45Colt/44 Magnum/300 Blackout are the tallest cases it will feed. If you want the ability to feed rifle cases, then go with the 750.
  10. Not that works with a Dillon casefeeder. We tried this years ago.
  11. Fill the hopper at least 2/3 full. Throw ten powder charges and dump them back into the hopper. Weigh the next ten charges and write them down. Now add the second baffle and repeat this. Does your weight variation increase, decrease, or stay the same? Keep in mind most powder scales are accurate to within +/- .1 grain.
  12. We use the "K" (257") powder funnel in the 6.5 Creedmoor conversion, as the case has a thinner neck than most 6.5mm cases.
