    Where can I find one of these?

    I bet you'll find the Scharch to be the most expensive out of all of them, if you can get them to build one.

    Got an email from a friend who is also a commercial reloader. Attachment was a letter from Scharch saying they are disbanding their machinery (ie, reloading equipment) division and concentrating on brass... Which explains why Top Brass comes up when you google Scharch

    Just another note about this ... I've downloaded 4 albums ...

    Therion - The Miskolc Experience

    Therion - Sitra Ahra

    Epica - Design Your Universe

    Nightwish - Once

    I have to say that Nightwish is my favorite of these, with Therion a close second. The male singer from Epica reminds me of the old Gwar stuff with his guttural voice and tone.

    Great stuff though. Wish I had found it sooner! :cheers:

    Has anybody removed the left side parts and taken measurements? I had mine out last night for a cleaning and lubing and found that the bearing OD to press bore had .001" to .003" difference so that isn't too bad. The cover / sleeve part that the screw holds in is .999" OD and the bearing spec is 1.000". Again, pretty good BUT there's about .010" to .015" slop between the shaft and the ID of that sleeve! The right side appears to be as bad or even worse.

    Dillon, if you're reading this can you please post what the parts (cover/sleeve, shaft) should be?

    I'm willing to spend a few bucks on bearings but the amount of slop between the shaft and sleeve I don't think it would help. I think one of my other parts, most likely the shaft, slipped past QC isn't any good.

    Mine is similar, although I haven't taken measurements. I will next time I take it all apart. On mine, I can actually push the left side in and the entire assembly will push about .045" ... when I talked to Dillon, they suggested trying a spacer on the shaft (11061), so I got a 1" spacer from a buddy's motorcycle shop and put it in as a shim. It seemed to help for a while, but it has been getting looser lately (about 5k rounds since then). It is also making an unusual 1/2 moon shape wear mark from the left-right movement on part of the stroke on the right end of the shaft. No time now to take it apart and post pics, but will do so when I can.

    Also, has anyone with this similar problem noticed the left cap and screw rotating as you pull the handle? Not sure if it is normal or not ...

    Odd ...

    I actually really like classical music, just don't listen to it that often. I also like most heavy metal. Kinda like peanut butter and chocolate ... they really go together :ph34r:

    I downloaded Therion .. The Miskolc Experience which was recorded live with the Miskolc Orchestra ... listened to it as I was cleaning up the garage ... just awesome! Going to download a few more albums right now.

    Thanks to NicVerAZ for the recommendations! :bow::cheers:

    Thanks jmorris .. If you just punch in scharch.com it takes you to the top brass website. IIRC there used to be links to the machinery page but I couldn't find anything.

    A casepro would be cheaper yes, but from what I've read there's a 10-12 month wait.

    I've got a casemaster jr right now and have har no issues with it, but it does get hard on the arm after a while. Magma makes an automated version for around $6k. Not sure how much the scharch is.

    I've searched around and there are as many different opinions as there are people using the different machines. Some people like the push through style, some like casepro rolling, some like the scharch style.

    Not overly interested in the case feeder, although from what I hear it is more reliable than a typical rotary style. Really interested in the case roll sizer, which they have dies for 9mm, .40 and .45

    I've seen one on Gunbroker but only in 9mm, nothing that I can find in .40 ... From what they told me, the unit in the pictures is a Scharch, but I can't find anything on the net about it. Not sure how old it is, but they got it with the Camdex they bought.

    Ideas?

    My 2 are about a year and a half old. They have wear marks in the typical places from holster. In general, the finish still looks really good.

    Not sure what prices are like south of the border, but I got these 2 from Freedom Ventures. They import the Tanfos into Canada. Prices are on their web site, but the GK is $1950

    Interesting thoughts Pat ... Distraction ...

    I set up a stage for our L2 match here last weekend which had a NS swinger. Open the door, swinger activates. Swinger did not cover any of the targets behind it at all. Swinger was low and the targets were high. I put it there for a distraction, purposely.

    Quite a few people commented on how it was pointless and why did I bother ... Seems like those were the ones who either hit the NS swinger or had Mikes on the targets. There were 4 mini targets at about 12m. Not terribly difficult shots. But the swinging white target seemed to attract a lot of attention ....
