I've run both. Prefer the Nickle. Especially if you get caught shooting a match in a rain storm. The coated will rust up pretty quick.

Scott is a local shooting buddy, great guy, great instructor. Love his videos.

^^ This. Make a 45* angle on the tip, and make sure there are no burrs. Also helps to attach vacuum to primer tube. Primer pull backs are why I process my brass first. Makes actual loading process sooooo much smoother.

Lately I have been enjoying a lot of 1792. Woodford's Reserve is my go-to for on-the-rocks sippin. Woodfords double barrel is very nice too. My absolute fav for sippin is Jack Daniels Sinatra. Expensive ($154 a bottle) but worth it. Now, more important question is what is your fav cigar and bourbon paring? Liga Privada #9 and anything for me.

You probably got some pull backed primers, or ringers, which caused the kaboom. IMHO, The only real fool proof way to avoid this is to process your brass first. Or buy processed brass, or have someone process it for you. I load/process on an AmmoBot driven 1050, both 9mm and 45ACP. Process: Station 2: Lee universal decapping die with AB Berdan sensor. Lee pin ground to 45* and vacuum to pull primers off (these two things alone may help you a lot). Station 3: The Judge sensor, with Primer Pocket Probe. The Judge catches all sorts of bad stuff and tall cases, the probe catches primer pull backs, ringers, etc. Station 6: Dillon size die minus pin Station 8: EGW-U die minus pin Load: Station 2: Dillon sizing/decap die, just in case a non-processed piece of brass sneaks by. Station 3: Lyman Die in place of expander. Station 4. EGA primer hold-down die Station 5: powder drop with MBF PTX Station 6: MBF bullet drop Station 7: Dillon seat die Station 8: Dillon taper crimp die.

Funny how experiences range both ways. I have been very pleased with mine. Much, much, faster than doing by hand. I use a old media vibrating tumbler on mine. But for my next sorting session, I will be adding spacers and fixing the 380 plate to the bottom of the black tray. Like this.

Still looked like way too much flare/bell. Also, did you ever put a rubber band on the MBF? It adds down pressure to seat the bullet better.

Gaffers tape works great for this. Can be tough to find though. https://www.amazon.com/Premium-Grade-Professional-Commercial-Largest/dp/B07DF82KZ6/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1549459782&sr=8-19&keywords=gaffers+tape

Great video from Tim. Loved his class - highly recommended.

Those primer tube tips are a usable commodity. They should be replaced fairly often to prevent these things. Cheap and easy. Replace them when you clean the press.

My experience is opposite, the Hondo is more forgiving than EGW or Wilson. I use Zero 124s for CO/PCC, and found I needed to load them shorter, 1.100. Longer and they would pass the Hundo but fail EGW and Wilsons. Use a magic marker on your case and bullet ogive to see where the interference is. Also use an old bore brush to clean the holes.

https://ammobot.us/ammobot-auto-drive-rev3-for-dillon-cp2000/ I believe they will also be coming out with one for the RL1000 soon.

Beginning search for new primary CO gun. My CZC 75 Black with SP01 slide with CZC Muliti Optic cut, has been a workhorse. I would like either an S2 or Accu S2, with CZC's RDS cut and plate system. I am sure more lightening would be needed. I understand CZ is coming out with an optics ready S2, but who know when that will be avail. Maybe just stick with an S2? Thoughts/suggestions?

I thought CZC was going an RDS slide cut now, that uses diff plates for the RDS, including a plate for rear sight. Kind of like Glock MOS.

Here is a video processing 9MM brass with the Keystone 2 piece handle, home switch reload. Also with The Judge, finds 38Super, stepped brass, and cases with dented case mouth. Works awesome!! https://fancybrassco.com/products/bro-handle-for-your-ammo-bot http://www.mojoprecision.net/the-judge.html #ProcessSmarter

Have you just started wet tumbling? I had similar issues after starting to wet tumble my brass (not decapped, old primers still in). My drying process was not sufficient, and there was still enough moisture in the brass that when I loaded them some weeks later, they primers went flat. Went back to media tumbling.

I had to load 124 Zeros Jacketed (actually 125gr) at 1.100 to gauge correctly and consistently. They would plunk longer, but not pass gauge. Yeah I know, plunk test is more important, but I run everything through a Hondo and spot check with an EGW.

Did you check the plastic tip on the primer magazine tube? Those are a disposable commodity, should keep plenty on hand. Replace regularly to keep from having issues.

Ditto to above. Run a few thou of OEM ammo through it to break it in, then start messing with stuff. If you still need to open the gas port, Rob Otte at https://www.inleadwetrust.com is the go-to guy for MPX issues. My Gen 2 has run great since I've had it (bought it used). I run my same loads I shoot in my CO pistol, which makes about 140PF in my MPX carbine. 124 gr Zero, 1.100, 4.1gr W231. They do need a little gas to run. Another word of caution, do not lube the piston rings and tappet rings. Keep the piston system free of lube. All else, the MPX likes to be very wet.

Saw this on the AB FB page. Just ordered it. Should be in time for my processing session for the year.

I used to do that. 45ACP plastic round holders works great for 9mm. But man is it a PITA, and slow. The slotted buckets is a much, much, more effecient way of sorting.

Or a plastic barrel/barricade partially blocking this target, hence the lean? If so, the lack of a ring could been an indication of a shoot through, so it would be a miss. Otherwise, sounds like bogus call.

you basically have ti dismantel the whole damn thing to get to the center bolt. You will see.

Buy a cheap Harbor Freight tumbler. I took mine apart (was a PITA) to be able to bolt a bucket to it, but it works great.

My setup is very similar to the video above. I really like the spacers he added, I will be incorporating that into mine for my next sorting session. Also like the 9mm plate and 380 plate mod. Will be incorporating this as well. RE Nesting, The vibration does a very good job of breaking those up, but it isnt 100%.
