Geez Gino, Glad it is only a sore shoulder. WHAT did you do?

The Redding Competition seating die has a spring loaded sleeve that will straighten the bullet before pushing it into the case. Can you paint the cartridge with a Sharpie, stuff it into the gauge and see where the scrape marks are? I assume there are holes you can use to push the round back out if it gets really stuck.

I had this problem when using either the RCBS or Dillion bullet seater and not placing the bullet straight on the case before seating. The plug would not align the bullet perfectly before seating it. I fixed the problem by buying a competition/micrometer bullet seater. This die aligns the bullet before pushing it into the case. It is a bit on the pricy side just to have minimal runout, but you have the easily adjustable bullet seating depth. But like DWFAN implies, does it matter for your accuracy requirement?

I just bent the LED strip and aimed the top LED straight down. I just have to be careful swapping the toolhead. But, if I'm not, 60 cents and I'm back in business.

On my 650 before I made my strip lights, I just found a single AA/AAA battery LED flashlight, that just fit in the toolhead powder check station. Shines directly into the case. I used a spare die lockring to keep the flashlight from falling through the hole. Maybe a G15 or G19 from HD? Advantage here is just poke the button to turn it on and you also have a very handy flashlight to look for lost stuff. Disadvantage, can't use the bullet feeder!!!! Polizie1, I don't know what calibre you're reloading, but the power check die use to kick some power out of the case. But then, I have very full cases.

Skip, Just got mine. Looks good. Thanks. I assume mine was in the first batch, Nov 29, but did not come in postage due. Weight came in at 1.4 oz, and the $0.65 postage is correct. Only thing I can think of is that the envelope changed and the PO minion gave his "expert" advice, just like in the "gun shop experts" humor thread.

Cute bug lite. But like njl says about the batteries. waterproof leds http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004ZUYI72 non-waterproof http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002QQ1YOM 12V power supply http://www.amazon.com/Wall-Adapter-Power-Supply-12VDC/dp/B006GEPUYA note that you are "right on the edge of capacity" to power the entire reel with this power supply. you just have to solder the correct wire to the led pads

I did pick up a reel of LEDs and made my own for my 650. I used 6 LEDs (60 cents worth of the reel), a 12V power pack (free from work), some wire (free from work) and some heat shrink (you know from where). The double stick tape on the LED strip isn't very good, But the Dillon Blue tape (blue painters tape) works fine.

Only once. A couple of friends and I were headed to state championships. He put all his ammo in a quad pistol case. Since it was "convenient", the gate agent weighed it. He was over. I offered space in my bag, She then weighed my ammo to make sure that I didn't go over.

I was wondering about the platform myself. I've only seen pictures or video. The new platform looks much thicker. Looks like about 3/4 inch thick aluminum. Mine is at most 3/8, but in steel. Not sure why the change. Maybe cast aluminum vs machined steel for cost. Or maybe the "thickness" is just a skirt, as I don't see how the same indexing ring can work for both. Unless the indexing ring PN is different also. Anyone care to chime in?

I think I bought my 650 in at about the same time as you. 1) I know the power measure has changed, but I like the older one. The linkage arms have grease fittings. Mine doesn't have any provisions for lubing at all. I just drip LPS2 in the gaps and have not experienced any problem. Case feeder changed. Probably a bit more minor tweaks, but I haven't been keeping up. 2) I would say run the machine as is and then if you have a problem, upgrade. 3) See 2. 4) Yup. 5, 6, 7) Don't know. I would highly recommend getting the case feeder. And for your most reloaded cartridge, a Mr Bulletfeeder.

How far can you move the handle down? Could the shell be hitting the sizer or powder funnel? Junk in shellplate groove preventing shell from fully seating. Can you advance the primer feed manually? Primer disk to shaft not lubricated. Primer ram not fully retracted and sticking in the primer disk. Shellplate indexes on the handle upstroke.

From what I understand, Daisy discontinued their caseless ammo because it would have turned their AIRguns into FIREarms and then they would have to play with the batf. I have a brick of the ammo and a rifle, somewhere...

Just finished American Sniper and The Book of Swords. Currently on Monster Hunter Legion and Dresden Files Changes.

I'm surprised no one said !SHORT! road trip to Dillon itself

I had the DAA combo, but the mag holder does not angle down past ~30 (don't quote me here) degrees from vertical. The pouch hits the magnet mount. It doesn't work in my setup. I put the magnet and mount on my CR and it works fine. You just have to be careful about the magnet. It grabs onto all sorts of stuff. Nails, screws, backpack frame, side of the truck...

I would think so. The description says that it replaces the DL1/3N, which is what the C-More uses.

I don't know about mooning a GP100, but I use full moon clips on my 625. You do get all your brass back.

B, Match application sez 250, the almost written in stone count is 245. R

I have a spare STI open gun and mags. I haven't shot super in 8-10 years, so I don't have ammo. I'll go ask around to see if anyone has ammo. When do you come in?

I'd try 1) Already suggested. See if the mag catch is pinching the mag when you are pressing on it. 2) It really looks like the round is pulled forward and that is what is stopping the mag. Try this. With the slide in battery, insert a mag with one round. Pull the slide back until the round is ABOUT to pop up and slowly let the slide go into battery. Does the round move forward in the mag? If yes, then you need more friction holding the round in the mag or less friction from the slide. Try new mag springs or stretching one of your old springs. Radius the corner of the slide touching the round. Smooth the bottom of the slide. Squeeze the mag lips. If no, then I dunno. but I'd do the above anyway. 3) I wouldn't worry too much about the rounds touching the ejector. The rounds should have some clearance to be pressed down into the mag, so the ejector doesn't see too much impact. Also, if you are reloading with the slide in battery, the round hits the slide first. If the mag hits the ejector, then that's another story If anything, I would smooth the corner of the ejector (don't touch the face) just so you don't scratch your brass.

TEricksen, Nice job on the safety. How did you do it?

When this happens to me, it is usually tumbling media or powder in the shellplate groove.

That looks cool. Video of it in action?
