  1. Tool head received 7 days after ordering, Tom did not send tracking info until I requested it today. 

    It showed delivered, but as happens to me once in a while, It was delivered next door and dropped over their fence into tall grass. 

    Had to go to the post office and get info from the delivery person via supervisor to locate it.

     2 thumbs up to CNC for a nice product.

  2. After contacting CNC  for an inquiry around the 1st week in Sept. I was able to get he funds together and contacted him again and he had 5 left before my order. I now have one on the way! I had to create a Venmo account to complete the payment. As another has stated, it is a little intimidating sending money with no recourse. But I decided to rely on his reputation and other members recommendations here.

    I'll have to experiment with this - Dillon rep said not to use unsupported swaging (he obviously said it had to be a Dillon die, but I've now tinkered with MA swage backup without any flaring). I don't care for swaging for 38 SC, as many pointed out, it's just that I like to use it to detect failed deprimes. 

     

    My current thinking is to keep swager intentionally adjusted lower so that it's not enough to exert too much pressure on the shellplate, but enough to detect a spent primer. With a setup like that, I can use any number of expanders in station #3 and not worry about damaging the shellplate. Interesting. 

     

    I do not use the swag feature when loading 38 super. It is backed off as you sugested to just touch the primer pocket to support the case as it is expanded. It also makes it simple to detect any problems with ringers or primers that pulled back in.

  4. RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure Case Activated Linkage Kit...

    I use this system on a 650 and a 1050, one for pistol and one for rifle ammo, wouldn't do it any other way. Totally problem free, you don't have to disassemble the powder measure and polish and futz with it, and it will drop stick powders like Varget +- 2 tenths grain, better with flake or ball powders, and the real fine stuff doesn't bind it up. Like I said, totally problem free.

    And you get a repeatable drop with the micrometer adjustment, and its case activated, so you don't have to operate the powder drop on each round, just keep pulling the handle...doesn't slow your production down at all.

    What station are you running it in and what modifications to the press or powder measure if any. I already have 2 uniflows with linkage kits.
