Major Dillon XL750 Design Flaw

Nothing to do with Dillon fan boy. There is no fix to have an aftermarket bullet feeder. If you don’t understand that, move on and buy something else. I reloaded more than 500 000 rounds without a powder check station. If you are too dum to make sure you have powder in the hopper..maybe reloading is not for you.

I hear ya man. I don't know why people are defending Dillon for what is clearly a screw up on their part.

Dillon did not screw up - you did by buying something that is not for you. As for the 650 versus the 750 , if you had done your homework instead of puking on Dillon, you will have found up the change of model was mainly the primer system. The only flaw I see is in your way of thinking. You are the kind of guy that buy a gun with fixed sight and see a design flaw because they are not ajustable. Pathetic.

Shows they don't have many employees, management or marketing, who actually reload and would see the problem in the first place before production.

Have to call BS on this - take a walk through their factory sometime. There are a lot of knowledgeable and dedicated people there. Or use their call line - lots of help there as well.

Time for a cool down walk....
 
I can't say I would agree that not being compatible with an aftermarket accessory is a design flaw. Unless you are running a motor a powder check station is completely unnecessary.

If Dillon doesn't fix this they stand to lose a chitload of sales because the powder check is popular for good reason. It's a moot point if this is a "flaw" or they just didn't understand their market. Same thing in the end.

I mentioned in an earlier post that DAA has come up with a solution. I called them and spoke to one of their techs.

I think DAA had more of an incentive to find a solution than Dillon did given that they don't make their own bullet feeders.

Talk about screwing a business partner over lol
 
Eh janeu...I went this route cause I was tired of having to double up on the station.....yes I looked at the camdex but I’m not a commercial reloader....I do it for the fun of it it’s a hobby...having the right tools for the job makes life way easier...my 650 had to do many steps ....set up for resizing and trimming.....then loading up ...this way here I can do all in one pass...resize...deprime...swage...etc...etc...etc... to a loaded round ...
I do have to say if you can afford to do so to have one machine for each calibre ...then do so set it up for the way one wants to load ..I know there are lots of people out there that love there 650 and will continue to do so for ever .....in time I may get another Dillon for a specific calibre and leave it set up for good ....just pull and go
There are lots of tools out there just gotta find the right one for you
Cheers and happy reloading
 
Have anyone tried using a non-Dillion powder measure to see if it clears the problem, say a case activated Hornady lnl powder measure or RCBS version, or even a Lee auto disc or drum?

This is why i don't jump in and buy the newly designed product, whether it be car, gun, or anything else. Let the problems be identified and sorted out. Then, maybe.
