I use 231 or HP38 for light loads 296 for full power, magnum Note 231 and HP38 are essentially equivalent.

R Rowdy - thank you sir ! Very helpful as I'm trying to get "smarter" on CZ's Dennis

Is this the 75 Shadow that is being referenced in the above post ? https://czcustom.com/new-firearms/cz-pistols-factory/cz-75-sp01-shadow-9mm-91154-black-cz-custom-exclusive.html

I'm looking at a CZ SP-01 SHADOW ORANGE as I have medium sized hands and the S2 might be a little large

thank you !

Good informative post and reply from 45 Raven I too have been thinking about adding a CZ to the stable and I'm looking at a CZ Shadow 2 Thank You

Yes, I would go straight to the 750. I had a 650 years ago, got out of the game for a while, sold my press and gear. I then got back into it and bought a 550 and wish I would have went with a 650/750. Don't get me wrong, the 550 is a great press especially if you are going to be loading several different calibers including rifle but the 650/750 is a nice step up with the auto index and shell feeder.

It's normal for the first load of new brass.. at least in my experience on my 550

AHI is right It's not as "easy" as it could be as one has to add the press and then go to each additional component, package individually. At least, they do have some of the options bundled... i.e.. one can add (strong mount, roller handle, bullet tray) as a kit but it's not at the bottom of the page https://www.dillonprecision.com/xl-750-xl-650-machine-upgrade-kit_8_136_26709.html

Good info - thank you ! When I do upgrade, I will look at the CV-2001 ...

True !!

I'll send you a PM and provide more detail but in brief, the Grand is a might fine shotshell press and I would not hesitate to recommend it. I've owned about every shotshell press at one time or another and still own the Grand and a Spolar. The Spolar is on bench #2

Agreed, in general, I would not go more than 24 deep The exception would be building shelf's or cabinets behind the presses - even then the reach could be an issue.

I've found that I always fill the bench or benches. I'm "wanting" a Dillon 750 so I'll either have to sell a press to make room or build another bench.

Thank's for sharing Dillon is top shelf !

Good Find ! Congratulations !

Wise choice on the 750 ! I have a 550 and "wish" i would have went with the 650 at the time but funds were tight.... nothing wrong with the 550 its a great press for what it is.. I just miss the auto-index and case feed

What he said !

Happy to hear they are getting ready to ship. Perhaps I can place an order after the 1'st of the year. Sadly I had to pass on a nice 1050 a few weeks back due to an unexpected water/well issue. Looking forward to hearing what folks have to say on the 1100 Dennis

Not a bad plan

I talked to the good folks at Dillon a few weeks back and they told me the 1100 would be about $2K... so perhaps the price increase on the 1050 is "setting the stage"

I did the same (donated $25) - this is a good site and I've learned much.

Thanks for the update - just in time for XMas !

Even though CO is or could be in the Factory Pistol I would like to see it have it's own forum or sub forum under Factory Pistol as that would consolidate CO posts vs spreading CO posts across open/factory, etc.
