I have a Super Carry Ultra, and at best I have mixed thoughts about it. It was not at all reliable when new. It wouldn't feed the first round from a full magazine, regardless of the brand. Also, it had plenty of FTF's. Kimber says the gun needs a 500 round break-in (as do several 1911 manufacturers), but it still needed to be sent back to Kimber. I don't get a 500 round break-in on a $1300 handgun, when I can buy a Glock that works out of the box, but that is another topic. Anyways, I sent the Super Carry back to Kimber, and after around 7 weeks they returned it. Tuned extractor, polished feed ramp, and some other things that should have been done right on a 1911 in this price range. It's working quite a bit better, and it is amazingly accurate. I still haven't put enough rounds through it to completely trust it, and it still doesn't feed all the ammo my Springfield does. If I had it to do over again, I wouldn't buy another one.

I just purchased a Dillon 650 from Brian, and highly recommend both the press, and Brian. His advice was spot-on. Also, I needed a little help with a minor issue on setup. A rep from Dillon promptly answered my call (on a Saturday), isolated the cause of the problem within minutes, and had the press up and running right away. You really can't go wrong with a Dillon or Brian.

Thanks everyone. Y. Koester... I bought the Dillon so I could get back into shooting, as it's been years since I even pulled a gun out of the safe. I saw that Dougs has a bowling pin evening, and eventually I'd like to give it a try.

Lots of great information, thanks everyone!

Thanks again. I really appreciate the help.

Thanks!

Hello everyone. I just was given a lot of these, and am wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to powders and OAL. Thanks

New member here from Utah. Awesome site! I just received my new Dillon 650 setup from Brian and couldn't be more pleased with the service and expertise. Thanks!
