barrysuperhawk Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 So I took the plunge and bought a 750. It came set up for 45acp. I also purchased the case feeder, 6.5 Creedmoor conversion, lr, sr, and looking plates for Casefeeder. And then not even having taking it out of the box yet I realized I've already messed up a little.. since my press came with 45 ACP, I believe to convert to 6.5 all I needed to do was buy the powder drop, since I believe it's the same case head. So I go looking around for the caliber conversion app to find out what specific items I actually will need to buy in order to load the calibers I want on the 750. Only to find out that all of the ones I find don't seem to cover a 750 specifically or several of the calibers that I currently load. So I know Dillon is stupid busy, I tried to call them up and go through part numbers, but The Tech Guy simply didn't have time to go through part by part with me on the phone, and I understand that. So what I'm looking for is either updated spreadsheets or an updated app or some manner where I can do this research myself, or feeling that someone who knows alot about Dillon 2 work with me to sort out the same thing. Basically I load for a dozen or so calibers on a combination of Square Deal B and 550 (rifle cals), so I need to decide what calibers I want to move over and start loading on the 750 and what resources it will take to do that. For example I don't load near enough revolver rounds, 38 357 44 and 45 Colt justify getting conversions for the 750 so those will stay on the Square Deal. So any help would be appreciated, I can post up a list of what I already have but I didn't want to seem like I was just trying to get somebody to do it for me , LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barrysuperhawk Posted January 12, 2021 Author Share Posted January 12, 2021 That's great and it was a lot of help but I load for several calibers that don't seem to be included, like 7-30 Waters, 6.5 Creedmoor, 458 Socom, and 45 Raptor. So are the powder funnels all exactly the same between the 550 and the 750, so if I already have everything required to load on a 550 it's just a matter of transferring the dies and the powder drop funnel?

Zane1973 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 And the shellplates for those calibers. 750 is 5 station as to 550's 4 station. But you seem to have everything for the upper part of the press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was for me. I went from a 550 in 9mm and .38 Special to a 750. All I did was swap the dies and powder funnel. (Yes the shell plates are different) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
