Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Its' uses are seemingly endless I was also a big fan of that move.
  2. In addition to what's been already mentioned...try lubing the bottom of the shell plate with Slide Glide. It slows down the tail end of the index down just enough to stop it snapping in to place. I started doing this and have hardly spilled a drop since (in Major 9 no less)
  3. I tumble my loaded rounds for about 10 minutes...comes off pretty easy.
  4. Mine arrived safe and sound a few days ago. Less than 2 weeks from door to door...and that included clearing customs into Canada. I read through the directions...and had it installed and running in about 90 mins. This is how a 1050 should run I loved my 550...but it seemed like I never had ammo loaded. It's good for lower volumes of several calibers. With this new setup...I have piles loaded and ready to go. I actually enjoy reloading again. The 1050 is just about imposable to jam up...and the Mr Bulletfeeder seems every bit as reliable. I did a test run of 1,000 rounds of 9 major. Even at a rather relaxed pace...it only took 40 minutes. Buy one...you won't regret it
  5. I have a Bevanized Dr on my Bedell. The one thing I really like is with the metal that comes the way Bevan mounts them...and the lack of a separate mount...combined with the low mass of the Dr to begin with...makes for a nice light gun.
  6. I posted this in another thread on the subject. ...............................re GSI Bullet Feeders I tried one on my 1050 and couldn't get it to work reliably. It was a real pain... because you have to remove the Dillon tool head and use the one supplied by GSI. You also have to relocate the case feeder...to the back. The issues I had: The cam that operates the bullet plate just wouldn't work right and wouldn't rotate all t he time...so the bullets wouldn't feed. That was the deal killer. I was able to get about 100 through without a jam...then it stopped working again. I'm fairly mechanically inclined...but I just gave up. Where you relocate the case feeder also causes a few issues. One...there is a gap with the replacement tube that transports the cases from the collator to the base feeding station...it did cause the odd case to jam in the funnel... The one that really perplexed me is once you relocate the case feeder (and there's only one location) you can no longer feed primers in. The new location of the case feeder get's in the way of being able to hold the primer tube vertically to refill the primer feed. I still can't believe someone would design something that stupid. The one I bought was previously owned...but never used. I have no idea how old it was...and if these issues have been addressed in a newer version. Anyway...I bought a Mr Bulletfeeder instead. Rick called me at work yesterday...and it was in the mail and one the way before the day was out. Very nice guy... FYI...the GSI was a nice looking piece of kit...and it would have allowed me to keep the powder check die on station 6...but far too many issues (IMO)

  8. Give Sean Hansen a call, he uses a 1000. ...and I believe he is actually looking for some parts.
  9. I switch back between Winchester and S&B small pistol primers (9 Major) with my Bedel blaster with zero problems... I can't tell the difference...
  10. Don't even think about it...just get it! I just installed one and now I can slow the machine down enough that the upside down primers don't get "carried" by the cut outs to flip the primers over...havn't had an upside down one in the last 3 or 4 thousand. Money well spend...I know longer hate my primer filler
  11. Do yourself a favour and buy the Redding Competition seating die. It's money well spent...and the micrometer adjustment for OAL is great!
  12. I just got a set of Dim 1 pro slims... I plan to double plug...would you recommend having the sensetivity set to low med or hi? My main goal is to hear the steel (with my open gun) Cheers
  13. My Bedell in 9 major (with a Grams rebuilt / mounted Doctor) just before it went out for Hard Chrome...
  14. Not quite done...just need Hard Chrome... Two thumbs up to both Beven Gram and Dan Bedell...both great to work with... Here it is (minus the Chrome Finish)
