Biggest issue I have is the priming system. The slidebar priming system still likes to start skipping primers right before the low primer alarm goes off(alarm goes off with about 4 primers left)(and yes, I have tried adding more weight to the rod). Also noticed I need to anchor my bench. If I go too fast, It will bounce primers out of the cup on the way to the shellplate which I attribute to bench movement.
    Have you used a 650? I was wondering if it was even worth thinking about upgrading. Think the new priming system is a give and take, the old one with the rotary dial did a good job of getting any powder that may have spilled out of the system.

    I have not used a 650. I ordered the brass priming tube ends from Unique Tek...we'll see if that makes a difference. I love everything else about the 750, but if I can't trust priming, it may be a deal breaker.

    those ends are a copy of the original ones, used on the 450, then early &650(iirc) . Wish i knew i have 2-3 here i would have swapped for the newer ones.

    Started inventorying my 300 blk components. I'm disillusioned with the round, so it may be on the chopping block . While quiet suppressed, i can do other things, with those powders and primers.

    too bad it's so difficult to find in 8lb kegs, or even the 1lb canisters. I ended up going over to 4064.
