It's an auto indexing 550 with a case feeder option.

anyone thinking about getting one?

What's the difference between the 750XL and the 650XL?


Very tempted, been shooting cowboy action, and pumping out thousands of .357 is appealing...…..

I don't own one but from what I read the priming system is different as it used the sliding mech from the 550.

The timing of this is uncanny: I was all set to finally buy a press this week.

I just got off the phone with Dillon about 10 mins ago. Here's what I learned:

- The 750 is on the same frame/chasis as the 650, with a few places machined out differently for some tweaks. The big differences between the 650 and 750 are the priming system and how it indexes.
- The 750 uses a priming system more like the 550, with a sliding bar that will hold a live primer until a case is in the station (no more dumping live primers down the ski jump if there's no case present). And this system is also supposed to be safer, because there's more space/separation between the primer magazine and the primer in the station, reducing the possibility of a chain detonation.
- The 750's indexing is supposed to be slower to reduce /eliminate powder spillage. It's also supposed to use a roller bearing to make it smoother.
It also doesn't start turning the shell plate until a bit later in the stroke, to allow for longer cases to be used. (Those are the words of the Dillon sales guy). They've also supposedly redesigned the bearing surfaces to reduce the index ring (I think that's what he said?) breakage that the 650 has.
- Price is +$50 from the cost of an xl650.
- Sales guy said almost all 650 accessories will still be compatible (tool heads, roller handles, case feeders, etc will all still fit).
- 750 is supposed to start shipping next Thursday. When it does, 650 will still be supported (obviously) but will no longer be sold.

I don't plan on ridding my 550....yet

I think this press compares to a Hornady LnL AP. Granted the Dillon costs more but caliber conversion in a LnL AP is cheaper. On the other hand, the resale value of a Dillon is better.

Thank you. Sounds great.

You going order the auto shell dispenser too?  That'll crank em out!

I currently have a square deal, set up for 9mm, and it has a sliding primer bar.  It really is a great and efficient machine. 

I don't have room in my small garage for a case feeder. The case feeder for the 550 only allows for handgun calibers. There is a hack for a 9mm case feed plate for .223 but its not endorsed by Dillon. Still that's a good chunk of change and space. I like the relative simplicity of the 550. The only thing I wish was better is a fixed toolhead like the Hornady AP LnL. A Dillon toolhead is around $20. Hornady bushing are way cheaper than that and faster to change out.
