They've been very good to me and sent out parts free of charge several times, cant say enough good things about them.

Sounds like the shell plate bolt is to tight or possibly powder is uder the shell plate causing a drag.

Mine has been going strong for 3 years, and cost about $10. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84115&st=0&p=981889&hl=wellerjohn&fromsearch=1entry981889

Over the last couple of months of using my new 650XL , I've thought about making a round counter. Seen a few posts made out of cheap pedometers but the issue was always where to install the switch to trigger it, I have a creative solution thats at least is good enough for me. First I bought a pedometer at the dollar store for .99. Opening it up it was obvious were to solder the wires too, (shorting the contacts if correct will advance the count.) I bought some cheap micro switches on Ebay for $8.00, they are sub miniature with a 4" arm. I choose to install the switch in the chute were the round slides down after being crimped, that way only completed rounds will be counted. I removed the chute, and about 3" up from the bottom drilled a 15/64 hole right in the middle of the chute, using needle files to square it up so the switch fit through it, then I epoxied the switch in place. There is plenty of room under the chute, and it does not interfere with anything else. After loading a few hundred rounds it seems perfect rounds slide right down the chute and keeps and accurate count.

My midway tumbler stoped working after 10 years. Got to looking at it, all that was wrong was the wire from the coil to the 125V plug was broken from vibration. Resoldered it and it good as new. Might be worth it to take a look, easy fix.

Got a chance today to fire some of the rounds. They all fired with only minor pressure signs, accuracy was fair. thanks for the replys.

Seems like if the round was not head spacing of the case head, then it would set farther into the barrel especially if the bullet is touching the lands, given the same OAL.

Do any of these pistol rounds actually head space on the case mouth? As opposed to theoretically? Because it looks to me like they all are stopped by the extractor and/or the hood before the case mouth does anything. I removed the barrel on my xd40 and inserted one of the over crimped cartridges, and it head spaces properly compared to a factory load. Should get a chance this week to fire a couple of rounds. Thanks for all the replies.

So Fedex shows up today with a brand new Dillon 650 and all the accessories for it. I watched the video about adjusting the bullet seating die, must have miss understood I had the seating die body adjusted to low and it over crimped the rounds enough so that the Montana Gold JHP have a serious grooved indentation around them (I removed one too see). After see my error I readjusted it and everything works great now. Question is would they be safe to shoot? Using 4.7 grains of Win231, with 180 grain MG bullet, seated to 1.125. Playing with the press I loaded about 200 of them before I realized it Thanks in advance

I am shooting MG 180's over 4.7 gr. of Win 231, OAL 1.125 in a XD40. They feed just great.
