That is correct. And never again. Lol

My 550c came today and just got it set up and while doing the 556 kit first, I noticed the funnel for the powder drop was different than the one I had in the 750.... It caught my eye instantly.. thought hmmmmmmmm.... Got the 550 up and running and not a dang drop of powder spilling! Im kicking myself because I got that 223 conversion kit for my 750, second hand and trusted the person.. guess he got the parts mixed up because he had A LOT of kits for sale. (getting out of reloading) Lessons learned for sure... and though the 750 was a beast when it comes to speed, I do love the 550c and Im pretty sure after all this, I wont part ways with the 550C again, and just keep it and get a 750 next year if my shooting increases. Thanks again for all the replies and help... I let my temper get the best of me on this one, but in the end, Im glad to have the 550C and a little money left over compared to the 750 and case feeder.

I appreciate all the pointers, I talked to scheels today and am sending the 750 back and buying another 550C. I know the 750 was super fast for sizing, but I’ll just put my sizing die in 3 on the 550 and load from there to size/deprime my bulk brass. That way I can load in from the left and pull with my right hand. I need an annealing machine too and sending the 750 back will free up enough cash to snag an annealeez. if I start shooting more in the future, I’ll get the 750 another go.

I did speak with dillon and was instructed to polish the powder tube funnel that comes with the conversion kit, and try another powder. The powder thing isnt even a possibility. Maybe you guys are right on taking more time to try and make it work correctly but Im just not that patient I suppose. I think what Ill do is probably just send this back and go back to the 550c. Its slower, but comes with less problems also. I LOVED the 550, a lot.. and then having issues from the get go with this 750 just kind of broke my spirits towards the machine... From my research and talking to others, doesnt seem theres really any progressives out there that work as well as the dillons do, so thats why Ill most likely just order another 550c. I lost very little money selling it compared to what I paid a few years ago.

This is the craziest crap that Ive ever heard.... Ive got $1300+ in this machine, case feeder, dies... change kits.. and I need to gut it, polish crap, flick cases, pause 3 seconds when the case inserts the powder measure lol... Ill just give Scheels a call tomorrow and send this POS back. The point of dropping this cash, was to speed up loading, not to have a hunk of metal that I have to refine and sell all my powder and wait years to find a powder in stock that works with this picky ass machine.

Can someone please guide me to a solution... Im about to call dillon and send this $1300 headache back. My 550c was fine.... sold it for this and every damn powder charge drops some amount of powder down, and it doesnt take long before its all over the ram, getting gummed up with the oil thats on it, and then my press isnt indexing... so taking it apart, cleaning it all and re lubing every 50 rounds is about to make me throw it out the window. Is there a fix??? Im using the dillon powder measure, all dillon parts... press runs like crap.

I learned this morning that I’ll have to use the separate head to size. Sizing and then trying to drop powder on a lubed case makes a mess.

I just sold my 550c to pick up a new 750 with the case feeder to handle the bulk stuff better.... Ive got a few questions for you guys with more experience than myself. Ive got 5 gallons of range 223 brass that I've cleaned, trimmed half of it.. I ordered a 3rd tool head to just throw a decapping die in, and run through the brass to decap it all and then swage so that I dont run into hang ups with primers not seating. Some of the necks are dinged, so I cant chamfur that stuff until its been sized... Just seems like Im missing something to make this a little easier? Is it fine to then spray ONE SHOT on everything, dump it in the hopper and start loading ammo? Will the lube cause isssues on loaded rounds? Just trying to figure out the best way to go about doing this. Im used to doing all of this on a single stage.
