Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Any new discount code for DG Bullets? FB15 and AD15 are no longer working. I'd like to give them a try.
  2. I cut both white and green wires and the lines are gone, and the camera does not reverse the image so the view is "normal".
  3. To attach the camera and monitor, I simply used some Velcro hook and loop tape. One side of each of the hook and the loop is pretty good adhesive, so just stuck a bit of hook to the camera, the monitor and then corresponding lengths to the press of loop. I put the camera on the toolhead flat side, and the monitor on the front beam of the press. This way you don't have to modify the press (i.e drill holes).
  4. I got the equipment linked to above and installed it. Pretty cool! Works perfect.
  5. I like the camera idea also, and ordered the linked-to items.
  6. I have a LED light on the press, but I cannot see into the brass from where I sit. I'd have to reload standing or fiddle around with bench/chair height. SO I'm hoping to just adjust the tone and go back to the old familiar way of doing things. (Old guys don't like change as much as we used to.)
  7. I have a 650 with the Dillon powder check die installed. Everything works as it should, except for me. My hearing is getting poor and the frequency of the buzzer when there is a double or squib load is one of those frequencies I can barely hear anymore. I called Dillon to ask if there was an adjustment or different product I could get to change the frequency, or show a LED light instead, but they told me I was out of luck. So turning here... anyone have a similar issue or found a solution, or can think of a solution? I can open it up and put in a new resistor or something if that will change the tone.
  8. Thanks. I will try that. I also have a Mr. BulletFeeder on the way thanks to you'all's advice.
  9. Thanks for the replies, good info. I do know about following a reloading guide. It sounds as though Titegroup is a poor powder choice, so what is a good powder choice for 115 or 124 class bullets? I’m looking for low recoil with a defensive load. I like to practice with what I carry and money is not that big of an issue because I have all the bullets already. Match PF is not a concern.
  10. Not looking to sell anything, just wondered about the qeustions in the original post.
  11. Is that for proper expansion (terminal ballistics)?
  12. Hi all, I am an old shooter who used to shoot a lot of 3-gun. Even then I was old school and used a .45. Then I got the PRS bug so went that route for the last 10 years or so. Now I am coming back to pistol shooting and find I have forgotten a lot and also expect there have been improvements in the last ten years, in terms of reloading equipment. I have a Dillon Square Deal press and also a Dillon 650. The 650 is set up for 45ACP. The Square Deal is set up for .380ACP. Now I'd like to try 9mm, and have a lot of questions: 1) Do you think it would be better to set up a second toolhead on the 650 or the SD for 9mm? I'm leaning towards the 650 for speed. 2) What are the 9mm dies of choice? I currently have Dillon dies in both presses and they haven't failed me. Any reason to get something else? 3) I believe all I need for the 650 are the 9mm dies and a 9mm conversion kit...is that right? Where is the best place to buy these items (i.e cheapest)? 4) One new technology I've heard about is a bullet feeder. Which one works best in the Dillon presses? 5) I have a lot of leftover Titegroup powder. It seems I'm reading on this forum that 3.1-3.4 grains of TG with just about any bullet weight will work fine. Any magic formulas? I'd be using Speer Gold Dots and misc range brass. Thanks for any guidance.
