Wie gewünscht eine kurze Zusammenfassung der Punkte die ich angesprochen habe: - Die Hülsenzufuhr muss über diverse Schrauben und Muttern an das Kaliber angepasst werden ohne klare, wiederholgenaue Referenzpunkte. - Hülsenhalterplatte kann sich lösen (direkt einen super Tipp im Chat bekommen wie man dem super vorbeugen kann!) - Ringfeder bzw Gummiringe zum Halten der Hülsen sind keine optimale Lösung und Verschleißteile bzw haben Pflegeaufwand - Beim Entzündern führt es zu einer harten Funktionsstörung wenn ein ZH mal in der Zündglocke feststeckt. Schlimmstenfalls beschädigt man den Indexing Mechanismus - Das Schlitten-System zum Zündern kann sich direkt nach dem Entzündern mit Schmutz zusetzen und zu Beschädigungen führen. Muss auf jeden Fall regelmäßig gereinigt werden! - Das LockNLoad System hat seine Schwachstellen. Es ist mir ein Rätsel wieso es keinen "Werkzeugschlüssel" für die Buschings gibt. Feinverstellungen der Matrize im Bushing sind echt nervig sobald man gegen den Uhrzeigersinn drehen möchte. - Die Geschoss-Drop Matrizen von Hornady sind eine Zumutung bzw eine Frechheit. Um jeden Preis vermeiden! Stattdessen DAA Mr Bulletfeeder Matrizen verwenden! Glaube das war alles ...
I just bought AP press ,it suppose to be set up at factory ,mine was not ,not even close but lots of video on setting up so not big problem .If I had time back I would not have bought .its a good press but I can see if going with ammo plant Dillon is better I think Great Video ,I like when people are honest about products
Thanks for the honest review & comments - they are appreciated. It’s amazed me how criticism of what’s nothing more than a ‘tool’ can be taken personally by more than a few people - it stifles discussion on how to get around problems or improve presses etc. Even the best equipment can have niggling issues & I find it satisfying to try to do small improvements where I can. Without a doubt Dillon know how to design a not only a press but also a reloading system. Mike Dillon was an amazingly innovative; even more so was Richard Lee who went for a different segment of the market of course. I greatly admire Lee for their innovation but I wish they’d introduce a ‘premium’ product line which had the build quality of Redding.
Thanks, your feedback is greatly appreciated as always :) I have no doubt Hornady would be able to fix a lot of the issues just like Dillon did when they went from the 650 to the 750. Also agree that Lee should have a special place in the heart of every reloader! Have you seen their bullet feeder? Used one in 9mm on a Pro1000 and it's just crazy engineering...
The spring loaded de-priming dies from Mighty Armory & FW Arms should solve the problem of a primer sticking to the end of the pin. The de-priming pin receives a jolt from the spring which shakes off any stuck primer before the pin is pulled back through the flash hole.
Indeed - will be ordering one of these beauties if I get a chance. Not worth it getting them individually shipped across the pond though. Dillon dies work similarly but afaik they don't have a dedicated depriming die.
Hey, really enjoy your streams/videos! Finally someone who goes similarly crazy when it comes to reloading 😂. I’m currently planning to buy a progressive press and can not decide between the Dillon 550C, Honardy LnL AP and the 750. I will use the press for 9x19, .45 ACP. 223 and 308. Maybe you can help me out?
Thanks so much for the feedback :) It's very difficult to make a DEFINITE recommendation for ONE press but I've used all three of these models and really like the 550C as well as the 750XL. The Hornady LnL is overall a good bit cheaper especially when it comes to multiple calibers. But it's a press that makes me spend way too much time with the setup and the press itself (as probably explained in the video) so I gladly pay the markup for the 750XL and spend my time on loading ammo. The 750XL adds a lot of complexity to the process and has more stations than I would need for rifle reloading. That's why I prefer the 550C for all my rifle reloading. The 750XL is an absolute beast when it comes to output and progress. Once setup properly, your biggest concern becomes filling those primer tubes up faster. It's the one press that REALLY meets the manufacturer claim of loaded rounds/hour for my use. But it's also a press that I wouldn't bother setting up unless I'm making 500+ rounds.
Ich finde es Schade, dass es immer noch keine deutsche Version von diesem Video gibt. Auf Englisch gibt es unzählige Videos. Aus meiner Sicht gibt es keinen Bedarf solche Videos auf Englisch zu drehen. Sorry..

You’ve viewed Highboys RUclips channel? He has fixes for some of the problems you’re experiencing. Great video!
