Sfisch0311 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Like the title says, asking what people think if I should buy an XL750 now or wait until the RL1100 comes out and get that. Pros and cons would be most excellent. I know that the swager makes it almost a no brainer to buy the 1100, but at the same time you only get a year warranty and it is also quite a bit more expensive. Thanks everyone!

EEH Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I like my 650, would not think of changing just for primer system, basically that’s all they changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4n2t0 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) To me the 750 looks like a cheaper version of the 650 but at a higher price point. It's probably a cost cutting measure by Dillon, too bad. P.S. The sliding primer system sucks. Edited August 5, 2019 by 4n2t0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF I were to upgrade to anything it would be to the 1050/1100 but I just can't justify it right now. I can load a years worth of ammo over Christmas vacation or a couple of long weekends.

m700 Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It all depends on what your using it for If your not loading five thousand rounds a month in one caliber you'll be fine on the 650/750. Once tubes are filled and you find the rhythm you can load 800 an hour. If you want the 1100 you may have to wait. I was hoping dillon would have called me and told me they are giving me an 1100 because I'm awesome. But it hasnt happened yet, confirming my suspicion I'm not that awesome.

verla Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The major difference between the 1050 and the 750 is that the former swages. Changing out the tool heads for each caliber is MUCH more expensive for the 1050 vs the 750. My 650 works like a champ loading 800+ rds/hr in several pistol calibers and several hundred rounds/hr in rifle calibers. Do not see a need to spend $$$$$ for the 1050 if the 650/750 will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and that before anybody actually has a 750. Imagine the discussion over real presses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudeRick Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I bought a 650 to get away from the 550 primer system, thats a deal breaker for me with the 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauza45 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 I started with a 650 upgraded to a 1050, for me the 1050 is a lot better to load on. Yes you have to tweek it to get it running but well worth it in the end. Either one will do but if you can swing the 1100 I would get that.

Perhaps their email is down? sigh...I suspect I won't get a free 1100 either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is the 550 primes at station one and the 750 at station 2, that means you don't get all that crud in the primer system. That being said, I'm glad I have my pair of 650s.

Butterpuc Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have a 1050, get the 1100... you will not regret it. Forget about the warranty issue, that really should not be a part of your decision. I have never had to buy replacement parts for my 1050, and if I did... so what, pay for what you broke. Dillon is excellent to deal with. Like I said I already have a 1050, if I were to buy another press today it would be an 1100 (or another 1050, someone is selling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igofast85 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I have a 650 and a 1050. I understand the argument for the 650, but loading on the 1050 is just a better experience. If you are not cost sensitive, I would definitely go with the 1100.Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. I had a lengthy discussion with a Tech at Dillon. From what I understand, the main difference is the priming system which I like in my 650. I also have a bunch of the aftermarket upgrades installed on it. (Rotocam follower, Rotocam actuator, Bearing upgrade, primer stop switch) why change it?

The xl 750 priming system works as good and better than other presses including the xl650. The priming is done on the second station not the first like the 550. I didn’t like the rotary priming on the Xl 650 because of the dumping of primers if there was a glitch. But that was just more of an inconvenience, than a major problem. If you have a 650 I wouldn’t upgrade. You might check out snowshooze on eBay he has some great add ons for the 650.
