Mine has turned into an expensive de-capping machine. I never have been able to get my sizing consistent on the Dillon. Congratulations, Happy Birthday and enjoy.
Not sure what you're tried but that sucks for sure. I hone my shellplate, run bearing washers under the screw, a hold down die and a couple other tricks and I can get tight enough consistency for what I need. I'll be doing some videos on it soon, maybe it'll help.
i’m planning on getting one but a little worried about military crimps. i’m mainly loading 9mm. i’m able to seat the primers on military crimps with a little more force. but how does that equate to the autodrive?
I honestly couldn't tell you if it's capable of seating military crimps. I would suggest calling Lyman/Mark7 and asking them if they have any information on it's use on military crimps.
@F-CLASS JOHN i live in salem and want to get into f class shooting. How would I go about that? Im new to Oregon so I don’t know many of the ranges but have wanted to get into it since discovering your and Erik cortina’s videos
There's Douglas Ridge Rifle Club in Estacada, COSSA out in Bend and Rattlesnake up in Tri-Cities Washington. You just need to get a rifle that meets either the TR or Open criteria and then you're good to go. I would recommend reading the www.rulebooks.nra.org/documents/pdf/compete/RuleBooks/HPR/hpr-book.pdf to get familiar with the rules for each division so you can decide which is right for you.
I own a Dillon 750 and I am thinking about this autodrive. You talked about a new bullet feeder for the Dillon 750 with autodrive in a previous video. What bullet feeder are you contemplating?
Do you run any surge protection/filter on your power? I bought a chargemaster link and it would not stop endless drifting. The numbers just wouldn't stop so I couldn't zero it or throw a charge. One suggestion was "noise" through the power line. Ended up returning it and getting a beam scale. Ever experience that with your electronic devices?
I've run line conditioners and surge protectors for my scales in the past but I've found that just running the surge protector units are enough at this house.
You have to drag down the little menu button in the upper right, then hold down the little rotating tablet icon, that'll open a menu. Then scroll down and lock the rotation button. The only problem is it never seems to hold so you may have to do it each time. I'm pretty sure it has to do with either their software interfering or just the brand of tablet they use.
I can seat long on the 750 for matches and then final seat at the match. Speeds up the process for sure but for local stuff I'll probably just seat as I go with an arbor press. It gives me a lot of flexibility of how I want to load for sure.
I cover it here ruclips.net/video/XeNnLzZlgMQ/видео.html but basically I needed to reduce impact to my body. I've just been hurting a lot lately and needed to reduce handling my brass.
just recently got an autodrive for my 750. did you experience it crushing some cases during depriming? the case seems to move back after it’s being pushed into the first stage
You may need to adjust the 'push'. I've seen that happen and it's usually because the big black piece that pushes the case into the shell holder needs to be adjusted a little.
I turn 63 in a couple of weeks. So when your done playing with it you can send it to me. Thanks Mrs. F-Class!
🤣
Love my XL750 on the Auto Drive. Happy Birthday John!!
Thank you.
Thanks John. Just got a 750XL. Once I get the hang of it, this might be an option to explore. Enjoyed the video. Great work
Glad it was helpful!
John, can you make a video on any changes you make to the machine using it with the auto-drive vs manually. Great content as always
I'll see what I can do. Thank you.

Try Mighty Armory dies? I set up my first ever reloading press, the xl750, with these dies and so far so good.

@@FClassJohn I honed the plate and added thrust bearings like you used on your last Dillon, but i couldn’t hold dimensions tighter than .003
Happy 50th! What an awesome present.
Yes it was! She's awesome.
Man, u get all the nice toys! Happy 50th!
Thank you.
Happy Birthday John. My son turned 50 in February of this year too. His wife gave him a bad ass 3D printer.
(He doesn't do reloading)
Very cool, I would love to figure out how to 3d print.
congrats. Mine arrives today for my 1100
Nice!!
From a 60 year old HAPPY BIRTHDAY from Va.
Thank you.
Does she KNOW that she bought it for you for your birthday??? Lol!
🤣
Good Job Mate 👍
Thanks 👍

I ended up with the Mr Bulletfeeder. I didn't end up pursuing anything else.
Your wife is definitely a keeper. Hope you took her out to a great restaurant for dinner!! @@FClassJohn
@@gorillamotors Yeah she's great. We've been together the better part of 31 years
Is that the Dillon bullet feeder?

Hi John. How did you get the tablet to rotate? I can't get mine to rotate. Called mark7 and they couldn't figure it out.

@@FClassJohn Thank you
Very nice! So your seating precision ammo on your 750 or is the bullet feeder for bulk stuff??

Happy bday. I just turned 40 myself
👍🏻
How high is your In Line Fab off the bench, and how much higher is the Mark 7?
To the top of each mounting plate the Fab is about 10” and Mark7 is just under 13”
@@FClassJohn Thanks much…very helpful!
Do you load your F-Class match ammo on the Dillon?
Happy Birthday! I hope I'm shooting half as well as you by 50!
Thank you and I hope you're shooting twice as well as me by then!
Did you true up your dillon press?
oh yeah.
@@FClassJohn thanks John could you elaborate or make a video on truing it up please please
You're back to running a 750? What happened to the zero press?
I cover it here ruclips.net/video/XeNnLzZlgMQ/видео.html but basically I needed to reduce impact to my body. I've just been hurting a lot lately and needed to reduce handling my brass.
Im sending this video to my wife.

What's old is new again, huh?
What can I say, my body told me to come back. Just so much easier on my neck and stuff.
Do you need a brother husband?
