My favorite progressive reloading machine
Quote from RB85 on November 30, 2023, 7:14 pmIn my over 50 years of reloading with progressive equipment my new XL750 with case feeder and Mr. bullet feeder is my favorite. My first progressive loader in the early 70's was a Star that loaded some very good 38 spl. ammo but was very slow I then moved to a C&H auto champ that had a issue with the primer tube exploding. My next reloader was a Dillon Sq. Deal that I traded for a RL550 that still use today for 45 Colt and 44 Magnum in the early 90's I bought my first XL650 that I still load 45 acp on. About 2018 Dillon introduced the XL750 that seemed to fix most of the issues I had with the XL650 so I added the new XL750 to my loading bench and have loaded a couple hundred thousand 9mm rounds on this excellent machine. The only parts that have failed on the XL750 is the wire that operates the primer system and a small plastic part at the bottom of the primer feed tube. A call to dillon and I had new replacement parts in a few days. I like to tinker so I have added a few parts to make the machine smoother like a bearing under the shell plate but other than that and the Mr. bullet feeder it's much like it was when left the factory. There are many reloaders that will make good ammo but the Dillon's are machines that will make match grade ammo and last a life time.
