as far as i know it the 1050 IS a Commercial machine! as such Dillon only warranties for one year. check it out.
the 550 is lifetime warranty no matter who owns it. I have 2.

Hi Ya, Guess what?
the LGS where I bought the scope had a set in his personal stash. I got them for next to nothing. But thanks for your input..
P.S. his gunny will install them free of charge.
(I am a member of their range.)

ok, so i bought a cheap scope. 1-6 24 SPF - Kiss by Primary Arms. oh i said that.
anyway so far the recommendation is for a 2" cant 30mm rings, but decent ones seem to be $80 or more.
its like putting gilt on a pig. All I need is something to function, no QD just put the scope on. Maybe $30-40. does that exist?
Much obliged for any intel.

Here was I thinking it is a detriment.

My go to sources in reloading methods are guys with many years practical experience. One was second only to state champion in Bullseye shooting. This is his advise.

Hi Ya, i never considered emptying the hopper and didn't know it discolors the hopper. anyway never a problem on my 550 nor my 450 Dillons. Of course I am in SoCal where it rarely gets humid or wet. Oh, its humid today!. well i have one of those vibrating battery Gillette razor handles attached to hopper.

I believe Cajun Gun Works has a low profile adjustable. Also check CZ Custom
ditto> both places great to work with. Max

I recall this topic coming up many years ago in a reloading forum I used to frequent. The consensus amongst the more learned reloaders was that different barrel manufacturers have different bore tolerances. By that token, if you’ve got a loosely bored 9mm, it may very well shoot .357’s better than .355 or .356. Conversely, if your 9mm has a tight bore... .357’s may not be the best idea and can result in an over pressure situation. If it’s really something you want to explore, it would be wise to slug your barrel first to accurately mic your actual bore diameter before experimenting with oversized projectiles. I’d imagine that going with a slightly undersized projectile (ie, a .355 in a .357 barrel) wouldn’t have much of an effect, at least as far as safety goes.
Makes me smile: years ago, maybe at your recommendation I slugged one or two of my 9mm's and found them to be .3555". I don't remember which ones now. Point is i have several and want to simplify things. I shoot 100 x9mm for every 6 x .38's. so for me to have to stock two different ones and reset the press is a pain. Current supplier of 124 gn Truncated Cone Moly's are .3565". It seems just right both sizes to me, any opinions?
as always
Much obliged,

Jako, appreciated.
I generally use 124gn Moly projectiles. But I will consider your response.
Much obliged, Max

I made a baffle to sit on top of the crappy dillon one. Polished up the inside funnel and stoned all moving parts of the powder bar so they were smooth and flat. Unhooked the powder bar safety lever so no more jerky action of the powder bar and added a couple of the wife's elastic hair bands to return it to start position. Has helped my drops considerably.
Great tip.

This is one reason I switched to the uniqutek. Mine moved quite a bit and had to be monitored. It was also a PITA to make fine adjustments with those course threads.
I guess you could try Teflon tape to make it harder to turn. But seriously get one uniquetek unit and try it. Awesome upgrade!
I saw some on eBay! Cheaper.

ya know, i borrowed a friend's barrel and shot same groups.
basically i have TruGlo night sights combined with FO front and they are not as accurate as my old black target sights.
I am older, but I am sticking to my story.

hopper was cracked.

hi J, you know what; i better stick to two diff diameters. as i have several different 9mm and a couple of .357's so i can't differentiate.
much obliged,
-
Jack, yes. I loaded some .357 mag bullets using .356 projectiles. at the same time i realized that my Blackhawk Convertible comes with two cylinders; one .357 and one .356 (9mm).
I haven't seen any variance in groupings between shooting the two. I used to think the .357's were more accurante out of the Blackhawk however the groups don't show that.

Reading this thread has me wanting to get my lead levels tested. Never have before. Where's everyone go to get them tested at? Is there a home kit type thing you can do or is this a blood test type thing?
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkMy Dr. has me go to a lab. i go regularly to regulate high blood pressure anyway.
p.s. the blood lead level is because of lead styphnate in the primers
-
HI, I think my last batch of .357 magnum bullets were made with my 9mm 124gn .356 projectiles. I didnt notice the diff. how about you?
or should i use .357 projectiles in both?

How wide ?
Still "narrow" outdoors ?
Jack, outdoor means steel competition. So no way to know. Indoor was when I did our little match using 8 1/2” x 11” paper with difficult spaces. Sort of dot torture types.
Since when the target sights in XD broke and main steel match died I installed Truglo; good but not as precise.
I didn’t expect to get back into steel but here I am.
I may look for a new barrel.
Much obliged. Max.

Johnny, that is amazing insight. Much obliged. Max

Ballistol for me. It’s German made so should be there in France. Guns too valuable for all this other stuff.
-
Hi Ya Cold, I’m sure your right. Oil is Ballistol. Fiber optics didn’t do much either. I should have sent gun to Cajun or CZC.
Anyway using CZ for steel requires me to use manual safety which slows target acquisitions. I think I’ll switch back to my XD9 Tactical.
CZ fine for paper indoor matches. They are sorta like bullseye.
Much obliged, Max
-
Are they hollow point also?
Not sure but I don’t think HP cycle as well as RN in my guns;
CZ75, 92FS, & XD9 Tac.
In my comparisons FMJ didn’t do better than Plated. Or for that matter Moly either. (I’m equally handicapped).

safety on/safety off for competition?
in Beretta

HI Ya,
I have tried to use my new Beretta 92FS in a few steel matches. However after 10 years of using a Springfield XD9 I find it real difficult to start with the safety on as the range officer requested. Is that necessary? Or am I legit to start hammer down in double action mode?
much obliged,
Max
