Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. Read the article to, nice read have a p30 great gun mines in da/sa.
  2. Can you do me a favor and see if your press has a divet on the press body from the primer seater. Mine is getting very deep. Sorry for the run on sentences but its tough on a blackberry,
  3. I do have it loose. I agree with the new bench but this is why a built a new one the problems on the old one were worse. actually this one is bolted to the wall and has no deflection. Shipping charges but thats it. I was thinking of buying another to see if its me or the machine as when new it was pretty darn good but as it has aged the problems have set in. When its on a roll I can get quite a few rounds out of her I just am getting tired of the stops and every time i know what it is. just sometimes frustrating
  4. Couple suggestions. 1) Call Hornady. Get some new primer parts. They are free and will probably solve the issue. 2) Loosen the blast sheild on the primer tube about 1 turn. 3) I am still confused about what you are "adusting" on the primer setup. It's a pretty basic setup. Not much to adjust. And onced adjusted should not be going out of adjustment. I have a box of new parts. The adjustments are once the ram locks up on the cam wire any movement bends the primer cam wire and then to get it up or down it now has a bend and it wont move the primer slide far enough back so I either have to bend that one or take the press apart to put the new wire on. i have worn out maybe 10 primer seaters to. its just always something i guess not big deals but always something. The press has been rebuilt by hornaday also, as i was having timing issues and the run out on the ram was causing this.
  5. Thanks yes that was going to be a problem so i put the mdf underneath the counter top and the end with the press actually has a leg its black so its tough to see it actually matches the tool box.
  6. So what are the problems? I sold a 550 to get the LnL with a casefeeder. I had some issues but tey are resolved pretty easily. The one area that the LnL beats the 650 is with the case slider setup. It captures the base of the case so it can't tip, it also is easier to adjust. BUT, once you get the LnL adjusted you actually never adjust it again. I also like how the LnL has the casefeeder slider on the left not the right so if you do have a issue it is super easy to fix. To me that is the only place the LnL needs a little extra TLC then the Dillon. Well it almost always primers or that whole Assembly. Now you have to understand the lnl is not new to me as I am closing in on 100,000 rounds. Its just when i switch calibers or from large to small primers, I can't just switch and load its adjustment after adjustment get rolling bang lock up take apart again clean then back to reloading bang stop again. I loaded 1000 yesterday had 5 stoppages about 1/2 hour total time. These were all my 9mm load I have become a expert on the feel of the press but load quite a bit on it and just want to sit down crank them out clean up be done. Maybe I am asking to much maybe the Dillon owners have the same problems I don't know thats why I am here I guess. I have a pic of my bench and setup in the non dillion section now. I don't know how to cut and paste the link. Sorry Let me take a second to thank all the above posters it means a lot to me with your suggestions!
  7. Wow, I really appreciate the time for the reply! Lots of decisions for me to make. I just banged out over 500 round on mine but had a few jams but pretty smooth. But might just go with one 1050.
  8. No validation, but my wife could care less no one to share my hobby with. Lol
  9. Well might just go one 650 and see if i like it then by the second. I am dream building as of now but the reloading season is approaching so won't drag my feet long. I really do appreciate all the help and am reading and considering all the suggestions
  10. Built a new bench with counter top and 3/4" mdf to make a inch 1/2" thick. Thinking of putting a blue press on there now hope this is the right forum for this. Let me know what you think... Kevin
  11. I just called in the order an hour ago, it won't arrive till Friday or Monday They are in short supply I have been trying to find one since December an I just wanted to give a heads up to anyone that may want one
  12. I've been comparing cost of setups between the 650 and the 1050. Now I'm looking at speed between the 2. I've read a lot about 650 and the primer issues, and to be honest this is the #1 problem with the hornaday lnl. I have replaced on my press the primer cam wire and plastic holder on my press at least 10 times! And now again I'm having the same problems. I have replaced these parts so many times I just getting feed up. It runs for maybe a few thousand and bang problem city. It just becomes frustrating with all the stops it turns into reloading for 3 hours and re engineering for 2 hours. I would just like to get on a roll crank them out and be done. Sorry to vent but my wife doesn't care about my problems. LOL Then comes the other problem the money that is tied up in the hornaday.
