  1. I had bought a Shooting Chrony and hated it because it would constantly give me error readings and I had to dig out the instructions every time I used it to remember how to run it. Sold it and bought the Prochono Digital and love it, easy to use and I have not had one single error reading so far!
  2. It's Michonne, with her pet zombie boyfriend and best friend with their arms and lower jaws removed. It helps her hide amongst the zombies.
  3. Problem with calling is I am never at home when they are open It happens with all different headstamps, it is dropping in a little crooked and the rim is setting in the grove down the middle if of the plate and the other side of the rim catches and jams on the slot area of the plate. I do have the small bushing in the feed assembly. I have tried taking the adapter and debur it and have polished it but it has not helped at all.
  4. Loading 9mm I am have in problem with the case jamming like in the picture attached in about 1 out of 10 rounds. I have all the correct feed bushings and parts installed and station 1 is adapter #5. Adapter #5 looks to be I good shape, press is on a strong mount and on a very solid bench.... this is starting to drive me nuts. Any idea?
  5. I just got the hornady bullet feeder system going on my L&L AP it speeds up my reloading a lot. I bought a bunch of the .5" by 3' tubes from linen and things and load them while watching TV. Then I just have to switch out tubes and pull the cotter pin on end and waay I go for another 50 rounds. I just got done doing the same thing with my 650....
  6. Mine is just a dust that collects on the shellplate at each cartridge position.
  7. I get the same thing on mine loading 9mm. I didn't get it until I salted using the Lee factory crimp die.
  8. Here you go....You copy and paste the code that starts with IMG to get them to show up.
  9. Happened to me with 6 months left before upgrade and they would not help me out until it said that I will be switching carriers when my contract was up......they upgraded me at no charge. I don't know about HTC phones but on our iPhones and iPads I have "Find iPhone" app and this enables me to login to any computer and locate, lock or even wipe any one of our devices form the PC.
  10. So after years of not loading 9mm, I now have a beretta 92 a glock 17 and glock 26 that I need to start reloading for. I loaded up years ago a bunch of rounds using the components listed in the subject line for a AR15 9mm carbine and used a load of 6.3 gr that functioned great in the gun. I have tried this load in all 3 guns and it is obviously to light and I am getting jams and stovepipes about every 5-8 rounds and many of the brass is just clearing the ejection port. So I go to the Accurate website and download the latest manual, look up #5 with 115 FMJ and it shows a starting load of 5.4 and a max of 6.3 ??? I dig out my original Accurate loading guide Vol 1 and looking up the same load it shows starting load of 6.3 and a max of 7.0 ! Has #5 changed so much over the years that it is weaker than the old 8lb jug I have or is this the Lawyers talking. I will be working up a load for my pistols, but my original load was the starting years ago where it is now the maximum which is obviously under powered. Also if anybody has some load info to share with this combination, that would be great. Thanks
  11. I just got one of these in the mail yesterday and it works awesome, and fit all my Dillon tubes perfect.
  12. Having loaded using a bullet feeder without a collator in the past, I can tell you its not going to save time. Either way you have to pick up a bullet and make sure its nose up before setting it down. The good news is, If you have a decent array of tools you can build a collator for under $100. Yes and no. I bought 10 tubes and I can sit in front of the tv and load 650 9mm bullets into the tubes then it will save time when I go to load.
  13. I just got my Purple Primer eater in the mail today. They say to make a few mods to the dillon tubes but had to try it before I did the mods and I loaded 5 tubes with zero problems.....looks like a winner. Filler video Here is where I came across it.... Primer filler
  14. "home is where you can scratch where it itches"
  15. Large bar is fine. I am currently loading 06 on my 550 with 47gr of IMR4895. The sticks on 4895 are fairly short and I have no problems with it metering good.
  16. I just loaded 2000 rnds and Trimming is VERY important as it headspaces on the mouth of the cartridge. I used the Lee trimmer, it took a while, but I could do it while watching TV in my Lazyboy The newer Lee trimmers have a hex on it and I used it with a power screwdriver. I use 12.5gr of accurate #9 with a 110gr FMJ bullet, this has been my loads for years. I have Dillon carbide dies set and load on a 550. Even with the carbide die you HAVE to use lube as it is a tapered case.
  17. SO I have a Dillon "Collectors" item huh Thanks!!
  18. Dillon 550 shell plate K .250 Savage-.250/3000 .25-06 .257 Ack. Imp This is a 650 shellplate not a 550...
  19. Had a friend that used to have a 650 and sold it a while back give me a small box of misc parts and in it is a Shellplate "K" in it. .45acp, .308 and .30-06 fit in it, but a little more snug than a shellplate #1. I have searched Dillons site and the manual and cant find "K" listed for anything. Anybody know what it is for?
  20. Well, having a cabinet shop I have tried several different tops over the years and the best I have found to date is 1 1/4" thick MDF with Clear Poly finish. The MDF is dense, strong and durable. Easy to saw, route edges and drill. The top where I do cleaning is melamine because there isnt a chemical that will hurt it...not even Lacquer Thinner! The cabinets themselves are made of Diamond Plate pattern Melamine....it was that or Carbon Fiber and now they even have it in Mossy Oak.

    Surgery

    Good Luck, I had my Rotator done on 12-18-09 so almost been a year now. It takes time to heal, do you PT and after about 6 months you will start to feel normal again. I opted to have my shoulder opened up instead of scoped as the doc said he could do a much better job, so your might heal faster.
  22. Good to hear, back pain is no fun, been through it. At the age of 34 mine was done and had 30K of Titanium put in, been 100% ever since
  23. I wanted to try making one of these and since I like to prime some caliber cases by hand sometimes, I just picked up a new Lee Hand Primer that has the square trays. The bad news is they changed the design quite a bit that separates the rest of the primers from the one being seated. It now has a lifting pin that lifts one primer up as you are seating another, so the new trays will NOT work for this setup. The next bad news is they don't show any parts available on the website, but I didn't call. Many online sources show as discontinued and no longer available. I did a quick search on Ebay and found a complete new kit for $18, but some people are jacking the price as one guy wanted $49 for his I am going to try and improve and perfect this method as I like to tinker. I will post anything I come up with, but in the meantime, if you are going to try this you better get the trays quick!!
  24. Here are a couple of mine, both are play toys....
  25. ...worth twice that IMHO. It almost did!! The auction ended with the winner paying $103 for it
