Sees Target

Sees Target (5/11)

  1. I’m using the Dillon size/decap die. I ordered the FM Arms Prime Time and hold down for swage station and the level 10 hold down for the priming station yesterday.
  2. Apparently it just needed a thicker zip tie. This morning I decided to try a couple different ones and after switching to this one I was able to load 100 rounds with no issues!!! Maybe Dillon should throw a zip tie in the box.
  3. I set up the swage station using crimped cases adjusting until it would seat a primer. Brass is from a private training range and is 100% once fired Federal. It loads great on my 650. I do have a cut-away case ordered for easier swage set up. Seating depth on the rounds that the primer seats straight are to the correct depth. I have run the press at different speeds observing the slide and all primers appear to be seated in the slide correctly.
  4. I recently purchased a new 1100 after 25 years with a 550 and 650 with the plan to automate it in the future. I’m loading 9mm using roll sized Federal once fired brass and CCI primers. Right from the start it’s crushing primers sideways into the pocket at about a 20 % rate. No issues with primers feeding into the slide from the tube. I tried the zip tie on the primer arm trick from YouTube and that helped some but did not eliminate the problem, still crushed 4 out of 50. I disassembled, cleaned, and lubed and watched all the Dillon videos to ensure everything is adjusted properly. Any other ideas?
  5. Thanks for the heads up, I was finally able to order one.
  6. The safest route would be to break in first then make changes. That way if you have any issues they will be easier to chase down since you know it’s not from any changes you made. That being said, I’m guilty of not always doing things the safe way.
  7. I tried to buy one and they won’t ship to Alaska. I even offered to pay extra. Dumb.
  8. I would never have even thought that different reticles in the same sight would be an issue but if they wanted to take it to that level of stupid, then you shouldn't be able to change the intensity of the dot either. Sights with different reticles such as EOTECHs have been used on PCC's since its inception so I don't see why it would be an issue on a pistol
  9. Thanks, that’s what I was hoping to hear!!!
  10. How did it shoot with the Commander spring?
  11. What Generation is your gun?
  12. Mines been 100% reliable also. Now if I could only find a red dot that I could say the same thing about.
  13. I don't think any of them do. Here is a helpful link that shows what optics fit different patterns. C-More RTS2 Footprint - Optics Trade Blog (optics-trade.eu)
  14. I had the same problem recently. I disassembled the primer assembly and did a thorough cleaning then lubricated per Dillons instructions and that fixed the problem.
  15. The less that’s specified the more freestyle it is.
