Nice video Gary. I've been contemplating the decap sensor, but you just helped me decide. Thanks
I also do not use my de cap sensor I found it to time consuming to keep clean with a pipe cleaner and compressed air. But I also found processing my brass first makes the whole reloading go WAY smoother but I use shitty (free) range brass 9mm
@@snowgorilla9789 Totally agree, that's the way I run it also. It doesn't matter what brass you use. The inherent problem on the XL750 is that case feed is combined with decap in station 1. Run the press too fast and you get stoppage when case feed isn't perfect and the decap die gets stuck. The way to solve it is to separate brass prep, and run empty station 1 when loading.
very nice demo but y is ur press sooo dirty?
I have to ask, how are you using the factory failsafe rod but yet have a bullet feeder and the powder sense. I have the double alpha version instead of the 3d printed option. Is it that much smaller or do you only load pistol calipers and do not need the large powder bar for rifle calipers. I also have two toolheads per caliper, one brass prep and the other loading, just makes it easier overall.
double alpha makes a special short bar and it works well for pistol loads. The maximum it could do was around 22 grains of accurate 2230 which is barely enough for my match 223 cartridges at around 135 power factor. They are good enough for matches but probably not good beyond 100 yards due to lack of velocity.
How much weight did you have to add to your primer follower rod for it to be able to trip your low primer sensor? I just tried setting mine up and the micro switch on the Mark 7 primer sensor is so stiff that it doesn’t get pushed down far enough to trip it. I have the 45 ACP casing on top of my primer follower rod as suggested by the Mark 7 instructions but it would need much more weight than that to trigger the micro switch. I was going to call Mark 7 next week to see if I got a defective sensor with too stiff a switch but I see on yours it looks like you have something taped on top of your follower rod to maybe add much more weight?
If i recall correctly - two 45 casings with one 230gr bullet inside it. It’s heavy.
Mine works without any weight.
Total cost minus decap sensor?
If I recall correctly, around $350 for the bullet sense, $40 for the primer sense, $250 for the powder sense. The decap sense was included when I bought my auto drive, but I wouldn't pay money for it as I think it's useless.
Why does no one post videos of a 750 running with a Audi drive. You only get adjustment/people talking/ limited brass processing. No one show videos of it running for long periods of time. Makes me think these are a waste of money and constant problems.
It does work for long periods of time. If I load pistol rounds, a reliable output rate is around 700 rounds an hour with very little stoppage. At this rate I can usually put on a movie or dry fire, while letting the machine run on its own and stop automatically when the sensors detect a problem. The maximum output rate is 1800 rounds per hour I think, but I slowed down indexing (to avoid powder spillage when moving from station 2 to station 3) and top stroke (for reliable bullet feeding in station 4).
