I know there is an issue with resizing 9mm brass fired in a Glock. Does the same hold true for .357 Sig brass? Thanks in advance!

Dillon makes their presses themselves. Thus they control the quality and can offer the no BS warranty. The electronic stuff is made by a third party. Asking Dillon to warranty them beyond what the third party will warranty them for, is like asking your car dealer to warranty a car beyond what the manufacture does.

The potential problem I see with that (at least with my press) is not all rounds fall through the chute each time the press is cycled. Some times I end up with two or three rounds in there, in which case a micro switch may only register one when two rounds go through together. I have considered an optical switch stationed at the chute (where the round is ejected into the chute) but I don't know what such a switch would cost.

Some of the smoke is from the bullet lube. Nothing you can do about that.

That goes under the "This Sucks" catagory.

Looks like I might have to ramp up my competitive juices. Crazy World...Ain't It? Are you the advertiser on ebay? If so, you need some BIGGER pictures in the ad!! No...I don't advertise on e-bay, besides those are GSI units for sale. Doh! I feel so dumb!

The problem with heating a garage in cold weather is unless you either keep it warm all the time, or bring the temp very gradually, condensation forms on anything steel and it starts to rust. I know this for a fact.

Thing of it this way: the hour glass is to remind you it's time to go shooting!

Both you an Laddie have been blessed. Laddie found someone to give him love and attention, and in return, you learned the unconditional love a dog can give. Trust me, you will remember him your entire life, and when you do recall him, it will be the good times you two had. Rest in peace faithful companion.

That's cause you live 'out west'. Here on the "east coast" of the state it only got down to -6.

Resizing narrows the case, then inserting the bullet springs it back open again at the top. Nothing to worry about.

Besides the loads used, belling and crimping can significantly shorten the life of brass. Little cracks will begin to appear at the case mouth.

Desk top items won't do much to slow you down except during the initial boot up , but aps running will. Look in your system tray (lower right corner) and see how many apps are running. You can turn them off by going in to msconfig. Another cause of slowness: not enough hard drive space. Windows uses some of the hard drive as virtual memory. In this case, no space means - no memory - means slower computer. As pointed out, malware, spyware and viruses will also affect computer speed. FWIW: Desktop icons are nothing more than shortcuts to programs. Your computer won't run any slower with a hundred of them than it would with only ten. Besides, if a cluttered desktop is a sign of a cluttered mind, what is an empty desktop?

Bingo! I run my tumbler in the garage because of the noise. Because I can't hear it, I tend to forget about it. After I burned up my first one, I learned a cheap timer would save me a lot of grief.

If it did that to the comp, what did it do to the barrel? Are you sure you're not looking at some deposits that are making it look rough?

You MUST use I.E. to down load it!

Wouldn't be great if all the anti-gunners moved to California - just before it splits off in to the Pacific?

The 40 S&W uses small primers. You aren't using the large primer set up (or parts there of) by mistake are you? Next, are any of your cases military/government, that may have a crimped primer pocket? How smoothly does your press index? If it's 'jerking' it may be flipping the primers. Last (that I can think of) have you tried cycling the press with no brass and see how the primers show up in the priming station? BTW: Since you loading 40 S&W, did you read this post: http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?...c=31326&hl= Might be part of your problem!

So how can people claim to be running guns with no recoil spring? Or am I missing something (not the first time!)?

Excellent post and description of what takes place when firing. I'm curious though, is the energy enough to cause the slide to rebound, chamber the next round and return the barrel/slide to lock up without a recoil spring?
