78Staff Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I added one to an order of Starlights and got it today. Just some quick testing it doesn't work well with 45, but they did say it was for 9/40. I'll likely add it back when I switch over to 9mm, but for 45's it's still zip ties for me :).

skullmug Posted July 24, 2017 Author Share Posted July 24, 2017 Same here. With enough reviews of people liking this it seems worthy of checking out. Thanks for all the feed back. If you have further operating experience let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 I have worn out 3 of the rubber washers. First one last about a day, 2nd one less than a hour, 3rd two days. All while running .223. The idea is good but the little rubber washers are either not quite the right size or just not tough enough. I placed them at the decapping/sizing and at the bullet seating stations. I also bought the tool head light and it really works well, nice and bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the same thing with the rubber washer, Great Idea just needs to last longer. Now the light is GREAT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD1 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Yeah I love the light, just be careful about the mounting clip not colliding with the case ejector on the front. They come close together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaross400 Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I added the Spill Stop and Premium Bearing Kit to my 1050. I see a significant difference in powder spilled. I don't see much at all. I even see a difference with all stations. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 I use 2 on my 650, spillage non existent now and also with using a Mr. Bullet feeder I have no issues with a bullet shaking out of place when rotating to the seating station. Made the 650 feel like a different machine (I use the bearing kit also). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrconst Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Tried it for the first time yesterday loading 9.6gr 3N38 in 38SC. Zero spillage. Curious as to rubber washer longevity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had mine on the bullet seating station (1050 with AmmoBot), to eliminate bullet tipping, for 5-10K rounds now (9mm minor). Still using the original rubber roller.

I'am assuming that is a Redding Pro Seater with micrometer add-on? I've been thinking about ordering one but they make it damn near impossible to figure out which one you need if you don't already have the seating die in hand, since they match to seater stem part no. instead of caliber/die part no. Why they don't just list caliber to micrometer, ie 45acp die needs xxx stem is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the Redding Competition Seater Die. I used to use a Hornady Die with micrometer, but it was hard to see the numbers. I still use the Hornady one for 45ACP. Eventually, I will buy a Redding Micrometer for 45ACP too. I got it when they were on sale at Midway.

I though Dillon said it was not compatible with the 1050 - that's what i originally had planned on trying but since Dillon said it wouldn't work I started looking at the pro die/micro addon instead. If the Redding Competition Seating die will work with the 1050 I'll order two of them lickity-split :). Edited August 3, 2017 by 78Staff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herman Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 went to the hardware store got the washers & o rings i needed & made my own does not eliminate spilled powder 100% it is much better than it was in 9 major. herman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckS Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I tired one on station 3 on a 650 last night. I was loading pussy PCC (I know, redundant ) loads so spilling is not a problem but the cases landed real softly under the bullet feeder. I like it. As for using o-rings, it should help but the rubber thing with these pins is very soft so you get a lot of push into the shellplate without a lot of drag on the plate. I think this is a winner. I will know for sure when I load some open ammo. Later, Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
