Differences beween the XL750 and the XL650
Quote from Reloader on August 13, 2019, 4:12 pmThe XL750 does not remove the crimp from the primer pocket. You have to go up to the Super 1050 or upcoming RL1100 to have this feature.

Quote from Reloader on August 23, 2019, 2:19 pmAny information on when the new style index block, with the roller and overtravel stop, for the XL650 will be available and cost? Also the stripped version of the XL750. Never had any issues with my XL650 however if Dillon saw fit to redesign, I'm sure it's an improvement. Keep up the great work!

Quote from Reloader on September 12, 2019, 5:37 pmWe expect to have the XL650 index blocks available before the end of the year. It will probably be at least a couple of months before we start selling stripped XL750s

Quote from Reloader on September 16, 2019, 4:37 amExcuse me, but you told me for years the XL650 was perfect !!!
May be was I right and it was not, may be new blood (or disparition of some old blood) did good to your company...
Well, just consider I recovered serenity in reloading since I sold my XL650. I do feel better and I do reload better.
Wish you the best luck with your XL750 but it will be without me anyway!

Quote from Reloader on October 2, 2019, 11:01 amI love my XL650 and have absolutely zero issues with it. I will look into the upgrades but at this time I have no reason to replace my reliable XL650.

Quote from Reloader on October 12, 2019, 8:17 pmI own a 650 and at this time I am very pleased with its operation. Right now I can turn out hundreds of 9 mm rounds with ease. Of course there was a learning curve like with any machine. I did have some temporary primer feeding problems when my primer seater had become losened and went unnoticed. This caused a few jams until I found the trouble. Now I check it every time before starting a run and have had no problems since. As for running smooth, I have installed numerous aftermarket upgrades recommended by the blogs with several roller cam part adaptations at various friction points. With these relatively inexpensive add on's my 650 runs smooth as silk. I am wondering if a 750 would run as smooth as my aftermarket modified 650??? I am sure there are lots of 650 owners out there that upgraded their 650's with these clever add on's. I will be following the blogs to see if a new 750 can equal or outperform a "tricked out" 650; and if not how long will it take the aftermarket developers to catch it up or pass it???

Quote from Reloader on November 3, 2019, 3:59 pmI have used a 650 for years loading for competition and probably have better than 300,000 rounds of 9mm through it with no issues. Great machine. Interesting to hear about the 750 as I was going to do a refurb on mine, I am going to wait for the upgrade parts and upgrade my current machine.
Thanks for a great machine Dillon.

Quote from Reloader on April 17, 2020, 10:30 pmI sold my 650 for a fair price & purchased a 750. Even though I haven't loaded many rounds I'm sure I made the right decision. I don't like the way the 650 spits out primers with every pull of the lever. Even with the primer cut off thingie, I missed some primers spilling down the ramp. That said, my 650 worked well for many years.
I prefer the 750 priming system and if for any reason a shell is not on the plate the primer just remains in position until it's time to seat it, very simple. The roller & spring do-hickey on the left side are good to have too. Almost like a tricked up 650.
My theory was that selling the 650 and purchasing a 750 wouldn't be much different, in price, to purchasing the upgrade kit. Who knows when the upgrade kit will be available? I like my 750 and am glad I traded up to it and I have it to use right now.
