"You can't automate a 750, it won't hold up".
Seems untrue.....I've conversed with a dozen people doing this exact thing, one of them has logged 250K 5.56 mixed cases processed through his, with one broken index ring. So I took the plunge.
"You can't swage on a 750".
This is partially true. See above statement, 250K is a lot of processing. I can see how it might crack the frame over time, if you aren't careful. It's probably safer with the Mark 7 autodrive, as it sets the stroke, so you can't really bottom it out, which is what stresses the frame. The swage-it isn't the greatest swager...in my case it serves two purposes: Checks for ringers, and stops on small primer 45 ACP. However, as a first swage before the 5.56 and other crimped brass goes in my big press.....it's nice, basically = 2 swager passes. Now I almost never have any primer seating issues with the mil 5.56...primers seat perfectly, maybe get 1 out of a thousand that seat funky and need to be rejected.
"You'll void your warranty!" (you should read this in Ralphie's mother's voice telling him he'll shoot his eye out).
Yes, this is a fact, automation, and swaging void the warranty.
"Why did you do it? A CP 2000 or 1050 would be a WAY better choice?"
My cost on a 750 is 600.00. At this price point, I can break 3 of them before I've hit the cost of a CP2000/1050. And I had a spare 750 in a box. All I wanted was to process brass, so it made sense.
"Would you load on it?"
I wasn't planning on it, but for an experiment, I dropped a bullet feeder on it, and a powder sensor. Did 30-06. Did absolutely fine. So I may do some limited loading on it on things I can't do on my Mark 7 Revolutions, like 30-06. You can't seat and crimp in separate stations with this, and you need a short powder bar, and must use the DAA Mr Bullet Feeder powder funnel with your measure. But it will work.
Since March 1st I've done:
10K mixed headstamp mil/civ 223 with the RT1500 trimmer on it, decapped, swaged, trimmed, sized.
5K 40 S&W, decap, swage and size
~ 2700 45 ACP, decap, swaged, and sized. The swage also acts as a halt on small primer 45 ACP, clutch stops the machine so I can pull it. Which keeps it out of my commercial presses.
