Buy the nylon/fiber reinforced Klein strap wrench as seen here its well worth the time and money...I use it on my LT handguards

it doesn't work nearly as well as the ones that rotate

i add 4-5 used dryer sheets to the media separator before i tumble the brass, this helps remove the dust from the casings as the media is being separated, also a few tablespoons of mineral spirits in your media before tumbling goes a long way in reducing dust.

I have the RF-100 and love it, you have to adjust the plastic stabilizer plate for small primers somewhat and change the primer size adapter...it's simple to change sizes really and you control the feed rate with the potentiometer adjustment located next to the on/off button. Safety wise this thing is engineered to high standards, it is a stout piece of machinery and the polycarbonate shroud is 1/4" thick, it is built very well. I usually have a tube full of primers waiting in the filler and the tray filled with 100ct of primers, when my low primer alarm goes off I grab the tube, dump the primers in the 650 and turn the primer filler on again and fill up the empty tube again, then dump more primers in the tray...rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat....

i am in the rifle reloading section

I shoot #5 a lot in my Kimber 1911, I don't shoot matches though. Love #5, meters great, burns clean enough...good stuff

I have a AR with a 1:7 twist 16" White Oak Armament stainless barrel. the bearing surface is relatively close to 62gr bullets. Barnes own data only specifies two powders RL-10x and AA 2520, neither of which i use. Anyone here been loading these projectiles?

Works great Too!

I have been using Lee dies for a long time, when I finally bought my 650 I bought the Dillon .45 acp dies...i couldn't believe the quality difference, i have a nice Redding Seater die and all Redding .223 dies, but the .45 dies are enough to convince me of their quality. They are much easier to set up than Lee dies too.

it is a sad state of affairs...

The problem is supply and demand, the Wolf's are readily available, the CCI's are only coming in small batches if any, my supplier said he is 18 months out because of both military and foreign contracts. The prices on CCI's are the same around here and the Wolfs are $10 cheaper, two years ago the Wolf's were $23/k and the CCI's were $28/k....buy them cheap and stack them deep

Hmm.. I mailed Dillon about exactly the same problem, but they acted as they never heard of it? My tube is also tilted forward. You have to be very careful to properly seat it at the bottom, or cases will get stuck! /S Saster, call Dillon and ask to speak to Gary about the post, what i wrote was directly from Dillon. Drilling the holes to 5/16" works very well as a fix, just make sure you put the post in a fixture.

The casefeeder mount post may be out of spec, I had this problem and it was kicking the keyed casefeed adapter out of it's index in the casefeed body. Dillon stated that some of the newer tubes were drilled out of spec by 3 degrees and the simplest fix is to drill the casefeed mount post holes out using a 5/16" bit, this allows enough radial movement to get proper alignment. I did this and it fixed my problem, there is no slop once it is affixed to the press properly. Dillon is about one to two weeks out from having new posts available for replacing the out of spec ones. Call Dillon, they are going to help you out. My casefeed tube was leaning way forward of where it goes into the casefeed adapter, so my casefeeder itself was forward about 3/4" of where it should be, after drilling the holes in the mount post I could turn the post aft/counter clockwise somewhat and this allowed the tube and adapter to be plumb with the casefeeder. Mine looked just like your photo shows on to #3, kmitchl has it right. As long as your powder isn't "popping" when it cycles everything should be golden

I have never experienced more stuck cases with anything else, the One Shot is finicky and drying has to be very spot on...otherwise I go into a fit of cursing. This applies to bottlenecked rifle cases only of course. I usually FL size on a separate turret press for this reason, neck sizing is a much easier task on a progressive in the event of a stuck case. I love Dillon Case Lube.
