I just got done rebuilding the primer feed system on my 550B. All new primer tube, housing, anti det shield, Primer slide plate and re Loctite the cup screws under the base plate. also added the primer bar extension with bearing to help smoothen the operation. The loader had 20 years on it so it was time.
There is a setscrew? Ooops, I missed that! Thanks for your very useful videos!
Great video, a bunch of small tricks I learned from this one to improve how my 750 runs.
Hey thanks John! The grease trick also works well for a 550!
Having seen the bevels on the Dillon shell plate, I decided to take a dremel and add similar bevels to my Hornady AP. Eliminated the jarring effect as it snapped to the next station. Loading pistol rounds I spilled powder constantly from such a jarring index action. Problem solved with a little bevel.
The black coating that was removed was most likely Black Oxide. It prevents rust and aids in the lubricity of the plate.

I would totally agree and appreciate the comment.
I wonder if it’s nitrided or DLC? If so then it would still be hardened and not have any issues as long as it was kept clean?
Fantastic 👍

Correct me if I'm wrong Mr. John, but with all the money spent on a Dillon 750, the shell plate should not have to be trued. We're not talking about a cheap press.
I guess it’s all relative. The press itself is well under $1000 and is designed for production, not precision the way it comes from Dillon. We are asking it to do something. It isn’t inherently designed to do so. A few corrections aren’t out of the question.
Is it possible for the RL750 to be used as a manual index press or auto index?? Thanks for the info
It's really designed to be just an auto-indexing unit. I'm sure there's ways to trick it into manual indexing but then you'd have other issues to overcome.
@@FClassJohn thanks for the honest answer. I've been looking at the RL550, because I'm not so sure I want the auto index of the RL750. At the same time I didn't want to kick myself in the a$$ a couple years from now for not getting the RL750
@@BigRob345 Well I would say just be honest with yourself how much you care about handling brass. If you really don't mind, just run the 550 and you'll be super happy BUT if you find yourself wishing you didn't have to keep hand feeding brass then consider the 750.
Yes, you can actually just remove the pawl and it won't auto-index. Some people do this to setup dies (by filling the shell plate) so you don't keep having to eject brass.
Stiction 😉
