Dillon sale

Maybe the 6000 will finally be the one.

That is the hope as the company, which is still family owned, is moving forward with modernized products and a more user responsive attitude

I like the Dillon powder measure and priming system on the 750 better.

I prefer the powder measure system used by RCBS/Hornady/Mark 7...I guess I just like things that rotate rather than slide. The Dillon system always reminded me of Lee powder measures before they introduced the Autodrum.

I learned to reload on a Dillon 550 which is the same priming system that the 750 uses. I really like the disc system on the 650, but that was replaced because users blowing them up was killing Dillon in replacement cost. Mark 7 presses use a simular priming system to the 650, but they've redesigned it to separate primers enough to avoid chain detonations...yet their autodrive presses can still load up to 3500rds per hour

Lee? Lots of failures at making a competitive progressive over the years. Maybe the 6000 will finally be the one.

If not, Mr. Lee and company have a free “we will fix your product for you” crew right here at THR…!!

I edited my post, meant to say 650.

Isn't the LNL AP and the 750 priming system about the same?

Pretty close. The 750 carries the next primer on it's plunger, the LNL has a slide that carries the next primer to the plunger.

The carrier of the LNL can be tweaked for timing and alignment...and the shell plate can be advanced/delayed independently in half strokes to accept the carrier perfectly centered
