Davecoff13 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Ready to upgrade my 550 to a 750. Does Dillon ever have sales? And if so typically when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysrracer Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 No, and never. Scheel's does. https://www.scheels.com/p/dillon-precision-xl-750-reloading-press/4235-750.html 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Tampa-XD45 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Another vote for Scheels. It's where I bought my 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plinker625 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I run are Lee pistol dies on my 750. They work flawlessly. The only change I made to them are Dillon lock nuts. Here's an old picture of me, with Mike Dillon in the background .

HawkEyes Posted January 1, 2023 Share Posted January 1, 2023 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 9mm and .223 use the same one. You only need one shell plate per caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
