Thanks for an honest review, been loading for a lot of years now and have had all kinds of presses (progressive) and they all have their own little quirks. The top two is Dillon and Hornady in my book. I personally prefer the Hornady, it seems to be more user friendly, easy to set up and easy to dis-able functions if needed during reloading, case feeder flawless, powder drop perfect. but I do have a Dillon powder checker on it! To be honest, the case feeder is quite noisy!!
The plastic indexer breaks due to cases hanging up just before dropping in the bin. CLEAN/POLISHED brass will make it run smoother and stop breaking the plastic indexer. There is an ALUMINUM indexer available aftermarket. With the warranty Dillon provides, give them a call whenever something breaks. They readily replace it for you.
Besides the Inline Fabrication mount, I really like my aftermarket roller bearing indexer from Armanov. Reason being it has an adjustable primer depth stop that helps with crushed primers.
Roller handle, bullet tray, case feeder, and the light unit are things that I feel were well worth adding to my 750. Some other mods I have found useful and some haven't been. What is great is that you can choose to keep it stock, heavily mod it, or anything in between.
Thanks so much for the info I am looking at a used 750 or a new Hornaday ap I watched an assembly video on the Dillon an it look 👀 like a nightmare 🤡 I had almost passed on the 750 I just want to load pistol so is the powder measure a problem with flake and ball powder 🤔
STRONGLY recommend the Dillon Powder Check - it will tell you if you missed a powder drop or in my 45acp and 9mm, it will let you know if you double-charged!
I have a Dillon 650 and I've only had a few things break so far. 60,000 rounds later. The indexing spring, shoulder washer and a resize/decapping die clip. Dillon backs their products and I've never paid for any replacement parts. Now granted all I reload is 9mm so maybe that has something to do with it??
Looks like the majority of the issues are with the new priming system... seems like instead of sticking with what works, they decided to change it just to say "look, we innovated". I've had my 650 for 30 years now, set up for 9 different calibers, and easily pushing a quarter million rounds with ne'er a primer problem... had parts wear out, but the only thing I've ever had outright "break" was that same indexer return spring under the turret.
Lol I don't make much past bills but ima be the same way here in a week when i make me order. Ill have the press a few weeks before I'm reloading too, But I'll be making 300 blkout for 24 cents with the deals I found. Worth the wait
The plastic indexer ring was included in my spare parts kit. I’ve had the press about a year now and love it. Great videos!
Thank you. Good to see you.doing reloading vids.

Its the same priming system used on the 550 press which has worked flawlessly on my 550 for 34 years and 12 calibers.
no need to purchase. Just call Dillon they will send out fed ex for free 750 is lifetime warranty for life

How many rounds ya think before springs and such started to break? 8-10k is my guess
