I have a friend who recently bought a 750 Dillion for his first press. Well actually I talked him into buying a Lee single stage at the same time. He’s well acquainted with firearms but has always shot factory ammo but due to the current situation he decided to get into hand loading in a big way. His main focus is 9MM; 223; and 300 Ham’r. He bought separate tool heads and powder dumps for all 3 cartridges. He asked if I would come over and help him get started. I went but told him I’d never worked with a progressive in my life instead use a Lee Classic turret. Well he read all the instructions and looked at several YouTube videos and between the 2 of us we got the 750 running except he did not like the primer feeder (having too many feed problems) nor did he want a bullet feeder. Right now he’s using virgin brass and seating primers with a Frankfort Arsenal hand primer. We raised the expander rod/decapping assembly to prevent the decapping pin from kicking out the hand seated primers. So right now he’s sizing on the first station; skipping the primer seating station; belling and dumping powder on the next station; hand positioning and seating the bullet on the next station; and finally crimping at the final station.
After reflecting on his setup (which works) it seems to me that my little turret with auto indexing will accomplish the same tasks. What would be the best thing we could do for the 750 to improve production speed.
