I have had the problem with the metal sided feeder but most often it is with the variable speed model Doesnt matter if it is the Dillon plate or the double alpha plate it still happens. All 3 of my variable speed feeders are from November of last year and newer.

I have the same problem with this on a variable speed case feeder. It usually happens when I put in a lot of cases and when I load less it happens less.

My Dillon 9mm sizing decapping die punches right through them. My commercial decapper with a smaller pin breaks on every one. I now have to sort them out and they go right to scrap and I crush them

I shoot a lot of pcc and usually have little issue with the brass. It is the range brass I pick up that has been shot through Glocks that give me problems. I have a commercial rollsizer so a trip through it and problerm solves

I am trying the brass juice and it works well. 2 hour run and it is clean inside as well as outside. The smell reminds me of simple green and the off color makes me wonder it is is simple green, dawn and citric acid. Wonder if anyone has ever used simple green to clean brass?

I will look into those products. I use a Redding expander die to expand my brass on the case processing machine and it really helps with ther bullets not falling over going from bullet drop to bullet seating.

I dont use pins just hot water and a detergent. Actually the first wash went well other than the spots. I wash in a cement mixer and will probably settle on 2-3 hours and rinse. I will try white vinegar and see if it helps.

So I just started wet washing brass and I use a evaporator to get rid of the water in the wash water and all I have left is the solids. So the brass after cleaning and drying has spots which don't bother me but I do sell a couple thousand here and there. Anyone using distilled water for a final rinse to get rid of the spots? Anyone using a product like Jet Dry in the final rinse water and would it leave anything harmful to powder in cases that are not shot for years??? Anyone have another product that does not harm powder after reloading that doesn't leave a bad residue. Ingredients below. Can anyone think of a reason any of these chemicals will harm a loaded round. Most people use citric acid to clean brass with a detergent. Water, Sodium Cumene Sulfonate, Alcohol Ethoxylate, C12-15 Alcohols Ethoxylated Propoxylated, Trideceth-3, Citric Acid, Zinc Acetate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Colorant.

I am cleaning my brass before it is decapped. Some of my issues at first were from running dirty brass with the Norma crap mixed in. Machine sorted the Norma crap out and now I can run for hours without issues. You do need clean brass to rollsize so I guess you could feed it with clean bras from the decapper although you will slow down the roll sizer as it runs twice as fast as the decapper.

Norma brass has been the majority of the issue. Also a few NNY cases have caused issues. After I started having the head stamp sorting machine sort out the offending cases I was able to run 35,000 cases without breaking a pin. Other issue is every once in a while a case will either stick on the pin or one will not clear the jaws and I will end up with a few jammed in one spot. Will try adjusting that rod to see if it makes a difference. The norma cases deprime on my Dillon sizing die without issue. Only time I break a pin is if a case falls over gooing into the sizing die but since buying FW arms plates that issue is all but gone.

You should sell that plate as I would buy one. ALso calibel specific drop tubes would help fix issues as well. He hit a home run with the commercial rollsizer but needs to address the issues with the decapper.

I just bought their rollsizer decapper and broke 2 pins in the first 20 minutes. I am getting jams with cases not exiting the machine and causing a backup, then it breaks a pin. Using the same case feeder that can deliver enough that it shuts off feeding their commercial rollsizer with 6 bolts running 9mm. Had jams with the roll sizer as well but got that figured out and when I get back home I will work on the decapper. I did run video and it is cases that are deprimed falling over and jamming up where they exit into the discharge tube.

I just put a mark 7 drive on my super 1050 and I bought a CP2000 with a dillon autodrive. Dillon tells you to remove the spring and rod and mark7 says to not remove it with their drive. I left it on and have had no issues with it so far. Only issue is getting the case mouth opened up enough so I can speed it up without the bullet falling over. Suepr hardened expanding funnel for for bucks that doesnt ever stick sticks every time. Last issue to deal with.

I found the answer and the parts. 35 bucks for a sealing plate and two damn screws, I am in the wrong business. Got it mounted. And I am told the screws are a custom length.

My question would be why would they? I don't believe Mark 7 is here to compete with Dillon I believe they are here to take them out, just my belief after being in business for many years. If they dropped their Revoilution and Evolution press prices it is game over. If Genesys is everything they say it is and at that price it could be a game changer. Lower the price and there goes the market. With limited stations on the Dillon that is also a problem
