Sees Sights (6/11)

  1. I saw the RP one, and do like the integrated stop, but it's 9mm specific. The EC is a standard replacement version (still uses Dillon colored adapter) although they also offer caliber specific ones too. But at $60/65, I only want to buy one, not one for every caliber :).
  2. OK yeah that would make sense, and would work better than current clip setup. I may sacrifice a clip and try this :). thanks
  3. Anyone using and can provide recommendation for or against? I've cracked two of the Dillon polymer covers, and saw the EC version. It's 3x the cost of the Dillon cover, but if it works without issue it may be worth it... https://entirelycrimson.com/products/super-1050-case-feeder-adapter-housing-upgrade
  4. You put the tape on the clip (and thus the side of the toolhead) or you put the tape between the wafer and the bottom of the toolhead?
  5. Also a big fan of the RI light, like others I have them on all of my 1050 toolheads and have one on my 550 setup as well. The rear 1050 mounting clip can be a bit annoying when trying to fine tune case flaring or the MBF die, but I usually just pull that clip off when I need to make adjustments there and slip it back on after. Although, I never thought of using glue or double sided tape, that might work even better. Any recommendations for what brand/style tape to use? Also, I had an issue where one a or two of the led's stopped working after about 2 years - I contact RI and since they only have 1 year warranty he suggested I send them in and would try to repair/replace the diodes for a small fee. Turns out he was able to fix them and sent them back no charge. Great customer service.
  6. Yeah I dry tumble... I do have a FART but tbh it just seemed like more trouble than it was worth for my range/plinking loads. I keep it around in case I want to really bling up some PR brass, but I don't think I've used it in almost 2 years :).
  7. I use the older style PM on my 550 with 2 springs and no FS rod... I'm right on top of the press and looking down the case so will see a bad charge. But, I've kept the newer style with the ka-klunk safey rod setup on my 1050 toolheads as that is what came with the toolhead kits, but have often thought of pulling that ka-klunk contraption and switching over to springs only like my 550 PM's... Only reason I haven't is the location of the PM and also using a MBF, so never see the power. Figured more safety crap more better in that case. But, still I'm tempted...
  8. I have the Dillon set, but have moved my 38spl workflow to the 1050, but want to keep loading 357Mag on the 550 since it is much lower volume... so will likely pick up a set of Lee dies to use on the 550 so I can leave the 1050 toolhead configured...
  9. This is what I do, and even after trying a myriad of rubber buttons, brushes, extended tabs, etc I keep coming back to the zip tie mod
  10. So the Redding Expander does a better job of the stock Dillion Swage/Expander die? That is setup I use with stock Dillon funnel, and I haven't had the "sticking" issues on the 1050. The common wisdom was that on the 1050 the MBF funnel wasn't needed due to the existence of the stock Swage/Expander die if setup correctly, but I'm always open to improvements, as I do get some bullet wobble with the dillon expander.
  11. Oh an my Gallant 9mm order that was supposed to take 4 weeks is going on 2 months now... luckily i just loaded up about 3K when I made that order and held 1K in reserve, so I'm not hurting...yet.
  12. Got a shipping notification for my Blue Bullets order from back in July
  13. Waiting on an order as well, was not in a rush since i was just backfilling some 9mm but it said 4-5 weeks, and that was early Aug. So yeah it's behind by a few weeks... So far I've ordered: 1500 158SWC from Blue Bullets back in July, expected now late Oct. 1K 148BNWC from Grafs (ACME) took about a 2 weeks as they were in stock. 2K 158SWC from SNS Casting, ordered two weeks ago, took about a week. 2K 9mm from Gallant in early Aug, still waiting on these. Not that it matters if I don't find some small primers lol, I'm into my reserves, less than 5K now. ;(.
  14. Just got update on Blue Bullet order from July... was originally 4-5 weeks, then pushed out to 8-10 weeks (Sept 20th shipping) and now pushed out mid/late October :(. Good thing I picked up those 148's from Grafs...
  15. Got my order from Graf's - took about two weeks, maybe a bit less. They were ACME 148's that were in stock. Still waiting on Blue Bullet order from... July I think?
