Thanks for the video. I just ordered a 750 and case feeder after finally getting fed up with my LNL AP. I could barely get through 50 rounds before something would go wrong with the LNL so I shelved it and have been loading on a single stage for the last couple of years. Hoping the 750 has been good to you since posting this.
I think you should do a setup video. Your good at explaining things without getting too academic. Perfect for the average joe.
Thanks, great video!
Fixed case sticking on my 750 by chucking the funnel in the drill press and removing about 0.003” form the diameter with sandpaper...without touching the taper that bells the case...just the cylindrical portion below it. Started with 180 grit and worked to 1000 grit. Finished with metal polish. Sticking problem gone...even with wet tumbled cases.
Good Job! I just bought one.
Hey I wanted to let you know I really enjoyed your video. I recently purchased the XL750 but have net even set it up yet. Your video gave me a good look at what to expect.
I did purchase a bullet feeder as well. After years of a Lee Turret press from 1989 I decided I’d splurge on myself before I’m dead and have no use for any press. Lol. Good luck with your reloading. 👍
Thank you I appreciate it, there is a ton of good 750 set up videos, but I just followed the included instructions and it came together good
Don't die George live a long life and reload a lot.
You could try to polish the powder funnel with some Flitz or give a quick spray of Hornady One-Shot on the funnel before a loading session to see if that helps with the sticking. Just a thought! Great video!
For sticky powder funnel/flaring just use steel wool and polish it in the part where it changes it’s shape to conical. It will fix it.
Oh changing out the whole die set and the powder is so smart I have watched a ton this last few weeks figuring what to buy and none of them said that
1) Thank You for doing this as I contemplate purchasing an XL 750 as well...
2) What did you use for video and audio..? Quality is fantastic..! 👍🇺🇸
Just my iPhone 11 Pro
Good video, but if it were me I think I would check that powder charge maybe a little more frequently.
I did for awhile but began to trust it more and more, I check every 50 or so now but didn’t feel it was necessary to do more than that. Some people do every 10 or so which isn’t bad practice
you're absolutely right , i thought the thing
So how is it so far? Do you wish you would of got the bullet feeder? How many rounds an hour can this produce? looking at one now. dillon dealer just got 3 in holding me one. Still trying to decide.
Shelbyville, greensburg, where you at
FYI I used to tumble for an hour with SS media. This does in fact clean too much of the carbon off of the cases. What your calling residue, is carbon, and actually helps the bullet release from the case neck. SS media is still superior, but you only need to tumble for about 20 mins.
Well thanks I’ll give that a try, at 20 minutes does it still clean it as throughly.
@@TheGunBench what you want to do is find the correct combo of lemishine/dawn to get them shiny, and wash just enough to clean without removing all the carbon inside the necks.
Question: my 750xl is on the way. The die kit has a depriming and priming die. However l, the Lyman manual says to deprive before I clean my brass and use a pocket tool. So do I deprime prior to cleaning if so do I omit the stage where it deprimes the case??
That’s all dependent on how picky you are, when I used a single stage I would deprime then clean but with the Dillon it would be a waste of time just to have clean primer pockets. Unless you are loading some high precision stuff I don’t really see the need in doing that
spend the money and buy the press mount, you'll be glad that you did
Is this a good buy for a beginner? I’m looking to get started in reloading but I have little to none knowledge
Some will say yes some will say it’s better to learn on a single stage so you can learn each of the different steps separately before you go on to a progressive. I started on a single stage, you can start on single and then upgrade later. You can always keep the single stage for rounds you don’t load bulk of or for precision accuracy
You can always get this and only use 1 die to mimic a single stage
Yes, a 750 was my very first loader. Be prepared to spend WAY more money than you were thinking.
Get the UFO light setup for the press.
i'm in the same boat , but my mind is made up its going to be a 750 package good luck !
Silly question but ive never seen one of these in person... are the blue parts molded plastic or painted metal?
May Trix metal
@@TheGunBench awesome...hard to tell from photos and such. Guess I'll be buying one soon 😁
So, about $200 to outfit individual heads?
To quickly swap yes, you could get just the conversion kit for whatever caliber for about 85$ and use the original tool head and powder drop, but you’ll lose al your settings each time. That’s the cheaper but harder way.
The Gun Bench there is one other option without having to spend $200 to switch calibers. You can purchase just the tool head $35 and a powder charge die $14.99 and once you’ve set up the dies the only thing you’ll have to adjust each time is the powder charger itself. It can be disconnected and moved to a new tool head (of course you’ll need to adjust the powder drop each caliber. I’m going to get one powder drop to leave on my 223 all the time and one to use as a pistol charger for several calibers
damn! its HornaDY not HornaDAY. WTF!
Go back to dry tumbling? WTF? You just made a rookie mistake based on a false assumption.
I like wet wash way better as well.. no need to deprime before washing and they come out nice and clean.
