  1. How old is the case feeder? If more than just a few years, then it is possible it has the problem I had on mine. The motor simply refused to spin. Given the price of a new motor, I took the old gearbox apart, and sure enough, the first gear was plastic, not metal. With time and lube the plastic had become swollen, and it would not spin freely on its shaft. Carefully opening up the hole with a right size drill did the trick, and the hopper has been running perfect for over a year now. I think I had to drill out the rivets in order to take the gearbox apart, so I then tapped the holes for screws. The motor for some reason is not covered by warranty. The case feeder is less than six months old. So the motor is not covered under warranty, I wonder why that is?
  2. I run a Sevigny Comp rear and Green FO on my Glock 17 and Springfield XDM. When I get my Glock 34 putting those sights on the gun will be the first thing that I do.
  3. Yeah that is what I am thinking. I plugged a few different things into the same outlet and they worked fine, so I guess the wiring in the casefeeder is on the fritz, oh well.
  4. Without any brass any the hopper, the shaft fails to rotate. I guess I need to send it back to you guys. The thing that puzzles me is that it doesn't happen all the time.
  5. OK I will check that out tomorrow after I get out of work. I will let you know. Thanks.
  6. That sounds like it might work, but I do not want to void the warranty of the casefeeder. That is one of the biggest reasons that I went with the Dillon is their no b.s. warranty. Thanks for the input though.
  7. Caliber is 9mm, with the small plate. It doesnt matter the volume, whether it's almost empty to a couple of hundred rounds. The disc quits turning, and it stops on both speeds.
  8. The switch clicks into place when I change positions, and sometimes it runs, but I have no idea what's going on. I am probably just going to send it back to Dillon. I am just trying to avoid that happening. I am hoping that is just something minor, or maybe I am doing something dumb. The latter is probably the right answer, but I can't figure it out.
  9. Sometimes when I am running my casefeeder on my 650 it stops working. I have tried it on high and low speeds, I have also tried adjusting the tension screws on the plate as well. It doesn't seem to matter how many cases are in the casefeeder itself. It doesn't happen all the time, but it does do it about every other time that I sit down to use it. Any help?
  10. That's what I hear, but so does that PBR guy.

  11. I have always been taught to drink one water for every one sports drink. I learned that as a little kid playing sports all the way through my career in sports. You get the best of both worlds. Water will rehydrate you better, but the sports drinks give you the energy and vitamins that you need to keep on chugging along.
  12. I slam the mags in hard everytime, but I do not expect the slide to slam home. I always try to come down with my left thumb and engage the slide lock down. That way there is no way that the slide can stay locked back. It takes some getting used to but once you do it works very well.
  13. I would have to say losing stays me with longest. Only because I try to learn from the things that I did wrong, and improve on those points. If you dwell only on the winning aspect, then I believe that you become arrogant and obnoxious, which no one likes around the range.
  14. Does PBR stand for a certain kind of beer? Be easy on the BLAMMO crew I hear they are pretty nasty guys.
  15. I am with Brian on this one. If I throttle it down about 10% just to make sure that I don't throw myself in too deep of a hole to start out. Then I feel like I have to blast the rest of the match to catch up. I know that everyone is different but, it seems to work for me.
  16. I prefer an all black rear sight, with a green FO front. It just seems to me that they come up faster on target than the 3 dot system. Also the green FO is great for outdoor shooting during the day.
