Gary, I have been using Dillon Presses since 1989 and today I learned something new. Rowdy Yates
Ross Seymour, me too! Never knew to have a case in the die when setting them, great tip!
Wanted to say thank you for the video. I used it to setup my new XL 750 this weekend. Loaded up a dozen rounds and ran to the range to make sure I had everything correct, they worked perfectly! Your video made for much easier setup.
Gary you explained a couple things that I did not know. The crimp is something I have struggled with and now it all makes sense. Just mounted my 750.
I really like how Gary makes everything so simple for people like me. I knew nothing about reloading as of 2-3 weeks ago. Now, I am looking to start reloading my ammo, and the machine that I am looking at is the Dillon XL750 package for .223/5.56 and 9mm. Thank you, Gary.
Good to see a newby getting his feet wet with reloading. So refreshing. Been doing it since 2008 and I have never been able to get anyone into reloading but I sure have tried.
I love how a seasoned pro makes it simple and easy to understand!!
I just ordered the XL 750.
Can’t wait to set it up.
Please keep these videos coming
I understand having the backward capped likable guy that is there to learn, but I’d like it if Dillon did a full in depth setup/tutorial on setting up the XL750 by himself.
It would be even better if they would put the in depth tutorial on a dvd and include it with every press sold, especially for what they're charging.
@@TXH1138 do they still make those
@@jeremysmith7374 lol, i need mine on VHS or laser disc
They have a very good video on their website. www.dillonprecision.com/xl750-product-videos.html
@@thastinger345 I got one on VHS😂
Appreciate Dillon going through the step by step on die setup. Once you get them setup, years can go by and you will forget the procedure.... which can easily happen.
But in my 750 manual, on pistol case resizing, it does point out to back the sizing die up a "1/16 of a turn or less", which turns out to be important.
Had a problem with case crushing on station one, which was solved by tightening the shell plate a bit ( had some slop ) and backing off the die a little. Almost had to call Gary... but the manual is pretty good. Would have liked to see the angle of the powder failsafe rod in the final position because it can vary by a lot.
I cycle the action a few times prior to tightening down the 2 lock ring allens, this lets the rod find its own alignment.
Had my 650 for years and learned a few things from this video, WOW and made hundreds of thousands of varies rounds. This is the best reloading machine regardless of the price so worth it and headache free!!
Thank you Gary for the information on how to set up the die’s on the XL 750. This is great help for when I get my XL750. Thank you so for sharing.
Excellent video. I am in the process of cleaning my XL650 and changing 9 mm bullets from 124 to 147. Very timely information for me. I learned a lot. Thanks.
My father in law and I are in the process of setting ours up. These videos are awesome.
My next press. The 750 will compliment my 550 quite well.
Love to see some detailed content like this on the RL1100!
Awesome!!! Dillon is first class company with first class products!! Thanks again!!
Very Nice video , So cool to hear how the factory Dillon guys do a setup!
Great how to -- as a beginner, this is a great video ... waiting for my gear, and I'm taking notes.
Very informative video!
Great videos,helped me out alot.thank you guys
Loved your video made me want to buy this product over the one I am currently using
Great video Thank you
I’m about to install my Dillon XL750 tomorrow And because of this video I know I can do it 😐
The goob said "we made a bullet!"
where can I find out what the maximum reading on the calipers should be for crimp, flare, etc. for a particular caliber
If you put a factory round in the seating die you can screw the die down until it touches the bullet to make the seating depth easier
With the same bullet you are reloading. Yep!🙂
I am liking this video for the wonderful tutorial by....(I understand his name is) Gary...not from any contribution by backwards hat boy.
welp guess i gotta redo all that now. lol. really good info.
Excellent video. I am not sure I understand how small variations in bullet or case height will change the OAL. I would think the press/die is going to force the outcome by seating the bullet into the case further or not as far to achieve the OAL to what the die was adjusted to.
The die has that tapered conical cavity the bullet fits into, and any variation in the nose of the bullet will mean colliding with the walls of that cavity slightly higher or lower. The cases can cause some variation based on the tolerance of the web/rim portion, they all have an acceptable tolerance. The rest of the brass doesn't matter since it's just a tube and the bullet is pressed inside it, but the base having slight variation means adding or subtracting a few thousands. Combining both of those is tolerance stacking, if the bullet reaches further into the seating die and the case happens to be slightly longer from the base, it could be enough to put you over the max OAL if you don't leave a little extra space setting the dies up. Say your max OAL is 1.26, you'd want to try a few and get it to average 1.25 or something lower knowing you'll likely have one or two occasionally come out longer close to 1.26.
Can you use RCB dies or Lee that I already have and also they have lock rings with set screws so would I need to reset them every time I change them?
In the box for the die, in the corner there's a black pin and a retaining ring, but I can't tell what they're for? New to reloading and am just setting up the press.
So the decapper/sizing die is not backed up 1/4?
Is this the same process for bottleneck rifle cases? Or does this only apply to handgun cases? Should I have a case in the die when I’m adjusting for loading 223 and 308?
Well I got the dies but no press as it was ordered 3 weeks ago and still no press. But I guess it will all stay new longer.
Learned something new today. I’ve never measured a crimp before. Where do you even get those measurements?
Reloading manuals
Can I use other brand of dies in the XL750. Such as RCBS and or Lee dies? Or do you have to use the Dillon dies in the press?
I was wondering of you found the answer to your question on using other dies?
@@tombo552001 I did not. I ended up just buying Dillion dies.
My XL750 is on the way. Does it come with that tool mount on the back of the press or no?
Mine did not, but I already had one for the outgoing XL650. 🙂
“It’s not a small lock Chevy” 🤣🤣
I wonder how many times Gary has walked someone through this whole product setup/calibration. I feel like he could go blind and it wouldn't effect his ability to do this. Lol
Ok minute 5:05 you say its close, whats the ideal size?
12-15 thousands. but .39 is good
I've only reloaded bottleneck cartridges. Apparently sizing die adjustment for handgun is not as intricate as rifle .
45acp brass seems to age-out from work hardening during the flair... less flair = more reloads for the brass...
(Every 45 brass That failed for me over the past 10 years was split at the mouth)
Why did you skip station #3. You went 1,2 then 4 and 5
Could have it set up for a powder check sensor
It's not a small block Chevy 🤣🤣
YOUR NOT Jade Struck and Chrysti Ane this is blastfamy !!!
