But it shouldn't be happening. I have the old style, so no help from me. Sorry!

Welcome to the ranks of the terminally unemployed! Yes, some refer to Dillon Kool-Aid, but there's sound reasoning behind Dillon fans, and that is what you have experienced.

What style feeder - old or new? What caliber brass?

If you search on FART (Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler) you'll find a whole bunch of discussion on pin sizes, using pins, not using pins, using soap, using wax, using cement mixes, and lots of other stuff.

The appropriate name in my day was "Den", but now they are referred to as "Man Cave". And yes, I have one.

Not to mention we needed an update anyway!

Lots of brands of .22 are starting to show up, but prices are still high.

I don;t think anyone ever saves money with a 650, we just get to shoot more for the same amount of money. Kind of like buying Snap On tools and expecting to save money.

The Lee set is handy to have, and they are as well made as any other brand.

FIFY.

Reviving and trying to bring back on track! How well does ultrasonic cleaners work on cleaning guns? I just bought the 9 liter Hornady to use cleaning firearms. Hornady says their formula is safe for all materials. So, is it safe to drop my S&W 500 in? How about my S&W 41? And what about after the cleaning process - flushing, drying and lubing? Inquiring minds want to know! The Hornady video looks very convincing but fails to go into a lot of detail to answer the "what do I do after" questions, except to say dry it off and spray with One Shot.

Got a source for this? Nothing like that on their website that I can find. The only stuck case I've ever had was just a few weeks ago - and it was with a case lubed with one shot. Lesson learned. Back on topic, where does one find vacuum hoses without ribs?

Perhaps he prefers the paper trail, albeit electronic, the web provides? When working, email was my preferred form of contact as it left no doubt as to what was said and what wasn't, and that element was quite useful at times.

You probably won't like my answer, but have you considered getting hearing aids? Mine not only let me hear the buzzer, I can hear birds again, paper crinkling, all kinds of things I wasn't hearing and now can.

Wipe the rod with a drier sheet - the stuff used to reduce static cling in clothes. .

The correct answer here is you don't trim straight walled pistol brass. There are pistols that use bottle necked rifle brass, such the Remington .221 Fireball, and those cases do need to be trimmed occasionally. But 9mm, .38/.357, .40 .45 and the like can be left alone as far as trimming is concerned.

Those look like they were made by Marty Feldman!

Cure for that is to always be 6 to 8 weeks up on your needs.

Right now? My drier. It's laundry day.

I've used the steel wire for welding fill. Waste not - want not!

Personally,I would add some dowels or biscuits if you know someone who can lend you cutter. If not, at least some hardwood dowels, then as stated, glue. The dowels will add shear strength and can be put in blind so they're not seen after gluing. Just take care drilling the holes so that you don't break through the front of the door.

I bought my 650 in the late 80's or early 90's - don't remember which and too lazy to look at the receipt. Any way, It's been used a lot since then for a lot of different calibers. I was recently decapping some 45 acp brass for a friend, and started having troubles. Started out every 20 cases or so, and got progressively worse. Using the Dillon supplied tool, I realigned the press. Took maybe 15 minutes? Cured everything and it runs as smooth as it ever did. If I have to redo the alignment every 25 years or so, I'll most likely be dead by the next time it needs it.

I have no dislike for loud pipes - when not misused. Driving through a parking garage at a hospital to see how many car alarms you can set off is not proper use.

Wow! I just got a brand new 650 for free! J/K!

Winter I can stand, but I totally want in on finding the person responsible for small primers in 45's.
