No, and never. Scheel's does.

I load on a Dillon 750 with a bullet feeder and a case feeder. I'm my opinion the only reason to upgrade from a 550 is the bullet feeder and case feeder.

Scheels also offers free shipping which Dillon does not (at least when I got my 750)- in my research getting one from Scheels is the cheapest way to go.

Yep those are the 2 reasons for the upgrade the case feeder as well as the auto index. Oh and the 5 th station for a powder check

 

 

I don't run a powder check. I run

 

1. Size / de prime

2. Prime / flare / powder drop

3. Bullet drop

4. Bullet seat

5. Crimp

Free shipping is one thing, but the Scheels 699 price is what Dillon charges.  And, when people get caught selling for cheaper...bad things happen.

If you have a dealer acct @ grafs you can get a discounted price.

Free shipping is one thing....like Brian Enos was doing when he sold Dillon stuff, but he had a drop shipment arrangement.

Do Lee and Redding dies work well on a 750 and Dillon Shell plates?

Do you run dies other than Dillon?

 

 

All I run are Lee pistol dies on my 750. They work flawlessly.

 

The only change I made to them are Dillon lock nuts.

Hey Ysrracer,

 

I am using Redding; I just started that way.  No way to get Dillon.  How many shell holders do I need on each caliber for a 5 stage on my Dillon 750?  I am clueless.  Also, one die set calls for #9 shell holder, and I cannot find that anywhere, yet.  I have already ordered the Dillon conversion kit for 4 calibers.

 

Thanks,

 

HEW

If I'm understanding you, each Dillon shell plate holds five shells. 

 

Some shell plates can be used on other calibers. I think 9mm and .223 use the same one.

 

You only need one shell plate per caliber.
