45LColt Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I purchased my first Dillon Press. I ordered the XL750, I have been reloading for many years with Lee equipment and I am looking forward to seeing what all the hooplah is about concerning Dillon Equipment. I also ordered the CaseFeeder, I am really looking forward to getting the press on the Bench! May have some questions along the way so I just joined the forum.

MadBomber Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Now you can use the Lee press for a door stop or a boat anchor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I wet tumble with primers so when i deprime it may just be cleaner to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterpuc Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 You will be giggling while using it. Then wondering why you waited so long to to buy a Dillon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iflyskyhigh Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I’m curious about how people (including OP) like the new/old priming system on the 750?I’m one of the crazy ones who prefer the 650 primer despite the added effort. I find it to be more robust and “smoother”.For instance I have noticed on my 550 when seating primers in formally crimped 5.56 brass, if the swage is just a little too light or the primer is off center just a micrometer it’s a bear to get it seated. Whereas in the 650, same brass, same senecio, goes right in. No damage to brass or primer. So, I know the primer on the 750 is same concept, but is it “beefed” up for higher and faster 750 production? Those that have actually used it, and maybe even used the 650/550 as well to compare?I played with the 750 the other day in the Dilllm showroom, but seemed about the seemed about the same.

iflyskyhigh Posted January 25, 2020 Share Posted January 25, 2020 Great looking reloading bench!!!!Thanks! I’m a tinkerer and love reloading. Probably spend to much time at it, but hey it’s my therapy. Before you know it, you will blink, a couple years will have passed and your bench will look like. And you’ll ask yourself “how did I end up with so much crap?!?!?”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
