What doesn’t work? Mine fits oem plate just fine.

I’ll second all those points. 8mm long is ideal

Lots of good info in here. If you do have a primer, pullback issue, this image shows how I modified a Dillon pin to prevent that. Consistently had issues with blazer primers not getting removed until making this modification.

What does the PAL look like? Sounds like it’s ‘hand held’?

The oem steel plate is best IMO. Cz-parts ships pretty fast from Czech Republic too

I really enjoy how these look. Maybe the slides will end up for sale stateside.

Certainly won’t be perfect, neither is the method of measurement. but my old SDB produces far better results than this 1050 die. So there must be room for improvement.

Thank you for the explanation, that makes sense. It will be in the mail tomorrow.

I called them today. when you say quick do you mean 10-12 months? carbide shortages..going to mail this one and see if they can inspect/repair/advise. Worst case I will pick up a Lee die I’m thinking. will report back if this is the root cause of the oval issue. Not really convinced but will be easy to confirm.

Will contact Dillon and see if they have advice on all of it. Loose may be a bit strong of a word, but it has some amount of play. Can even rotate it.

good info, thank you. I marked the die and some brass, and then rotated the die 90 and 180°. The shape of the brass rotates with the die. Don’t have the right tools, using a caliper, but measuring the die itself seems very close to uniform. I did notice the carbide insert has a little bit of wiggle. I’m thinking this may be normal as it is just staked in place. With the dye out of the press and a piece of brass inserted into the die, I can get a little bit of movement/noise from the carbide insert in the die. at the end of the day, I don’t think I have a real issue here. But dang if my curiosity and perfectionist side of things don’t have me wanting to try a different sizing die. Need to remember this is not PRS ammo! But sometimes those pesky blazer primers stick to the D capping pin, and get sucked back in… That FW arms sizer sure looks nice

finished product is acceptable for me, not sure I have an issue but figured I’d get some insight here. powder drop bell reduces the amount of oval and the final product after crimp is reduced yet again. I found the issue when trying to set the case mouth bell, and was getting measurements that didn’t make sense. Realized it was due to rotating the cases. So I am still not uniform at that station. I would summarize as follows: 0.005 out of round after sizing 0.003 out of round after powder funnel expansion. 0.001-0.002 after final station.

This may be better suited for the 9mm forum? But here goes. Recently acquired a new to me super 1050 from a member here. When making adjustments to the powder drop for case mouth expansion, I noticed the cases were not ‘perfectly’ round. Traced that back to the resizing die. Running the Dillon carbide die. After resizing the case, mouse is oval/oblong shaped. As I go down the case towards the base, it is much more round/concentric. Measuring OD of .371/.376 at the case mouth taking two measurements and rotating 90°. 0.005 from being round. went through die setup process again: loosen lock ring, snug die to shell plate, insert case, tighten lock ring. Cleaned the die for any debris build up. mixed head stamp range pickup. Can’t seem to track it by headstamp, some are better or worse than others from same headstamp. is this an issue? Is this normal? thanks.

I get similar results with 4.3 gr of hp38 and summit 124 out of a plastic striker gun. for me, it’s easy to get caught up in trying to make a PRS pistol load… But if I make power factor and can shoot the head box at 25 then I can play in the uspsa game just fine.

The dimple will ‘increase’ the sight dimension by bulging out material. I’ve done this on a Glock rear sight and used loctite. Many rounds later still good. those spring loaded punches work well.

Is this a coincidence..? Instagram post today

Did you ever find any info? Front sight delete for CO pistol would be nice with some sort of chopped off sight..

Awesome pic. Thank you. im still kind of lost why they went with all this complexity instead of a few simple large dots..maybe we will see more versions in the future.

Found this old post searching around.. I did something similar to OP glueing a small piece of plastic by station one to keep the brass in place. Send a message if still struggling OP

Fantastic attention to detail. keeps me motivated as well. Awesome.

CHPWS now offering a steel plate solution, same as the forward controls design. i’m still very happy with the forward controls plate after seeing some T nut failures. https://chpws.com/product/v2-steel-mil-leo-adapter-trijicon-rmr-only-fits-glock-mos/

That vendor is reliable. Seems like they are going live in small quantities on lots of websites.

I think you describe a lot of what we read online, people parroting things that they have heard. But you really touched on the more important point, in my opinion. Go out and test zero yourself. Does it actually makes sense for the type of shooting you do?

We need pics! Never tried the epoxy or silicon carbide..testing on grips is a place to start instead of a plastic framed gun.

I have large hands as well. The lok palm swells may look nice in pictures from the rear of the gun, but in my experience, they are actually very small in circumference. have not tried the thin ones, does it leave space to fit your support hand?
