I just picked one up used, going to hopefully set it up this weekend. It's a big change from my T-7 which I will keep for rifles. Since this is used, looking to see if there is anything I should keep my eye on, any issues, quirks, or tips?

I've been rocking a SQDB since '97. Bought used at a gunshow, best investment I've ever made. Dillon will back it, used or not. When something breaks or just wears out give them a call. There is hardly an original part on it anymore.
Clean and lightly lube the primer mechanism and the shell plate/auto indexing system regularly. If you do this it will run reliably for long periods.
Get new primer tube nipples, they wear and when they do they dump primers all over. Account for every primer that goes in the system!

I wish they came in .30 Carbine.

Best,
