    I love the Dillon 750 and it's a huge upgrade over the 650 but the little brass bushing they installed needed to go. I came up with a way to install a sealed ball bearing and boy is it smooth now.

    I did your ball bearing upgrade and it works great. The thread pitch is actually 6/32 and not 8/32 though.

      Mine is 8-32 just double checked with a tap before I ordered a shoulder screw and ball bearing from McMaster Carr. Glad I found the video and that someone else had the same idea. I was watching the “roller” and noticed it does more sliding than rolling.

    I bought some bearings for my vacuum roller a while back, and after seeing your video on how to upgrade this brass roller I said maybe my bearings are the size,and it just happen to be the size for the 750,

    Thanks for the video. When it come to the shoulder bolt not fitting the inside diameter of the bearing, you can simply chick the bolt into your drill press, turn it on, and then use a fine file to reduce the diameter of the shoulder until it fits. But yes, your solution of using a counter sink bolt is quicker and appears to work just as good

    Someone will surely tell me what I don’t know, but here’s what I think I’ve learned. There are permanently sealed / lubricated bearings and there are not. Sealed are used in environments prone to dirt intrusion. As powder has been known to go everywhere it doesn’t belong (at least for me), I would suggest a sealed bearing. I do like the upgrade, and was looking at Arminov’s upgrade option, for a whole lot more. Thank you!

    I wanna do this and a bearing on the end of the rod for the case placer to smoothen things up... i just hate the lil white plastic piece on the fail safe rod. It wears out slowly prolly 15k pulls it might be dead. Wish there was a way to keep that fro. Wearing

      I'm sorry but I don't know exactly. I just went to my local Ace Hardware store and went through their bearing box (there aren't very many to choose from) and found one that match the outside diameter of the one I took off the press.

    Great video. However, some more details would have been helpful. Such as: what size hex wrench is needed to unscrew the bearings? (Minor, but helps). Where did you find the new ball bearing piece? What is it called, so I can ask the hardware clerk for it? How long is the replacement screw that is needed? For those of us who do NOT have a lot of mechanical skills but who still wish to do this upgrade, some "hand holding" is much appreciated. Thank you for the video!
