My MBF seems to be dropping 1 out of 10 bullets upside down. Is that the sliding adjustment screw just under the unit that needs to be moved in slightly? I'm using 124gr conical JHP bullets, currently from Precision Delta, which I am liking a lot. May need to order more of these.
Thanks.
Yep. You need to adjust the plate that has the scalloped spacers on it to fine tune it. It's a seat of the pants adjustment though. I've found that the plate has to be adjusted outwards in order to completely flip upside down bullets to a nose up attitude.

I love the Hundo. It's a little tighter than my Dillon case gauge (9mm). It's a great QA check. If a round fails to seat fully and freely, it goes in the practice box. It allows me to easily check for high primers as well.
Basically, if a round seats fully in the Hundo easily, it's good to go. No worries.

I robbed the spring off of my SDB and put it on my 650 to trial it. I think it was on the 650 for maybe 5 rounds. The charge bar operated in a violent, "snappy" motion. I didn't like it, so I removed it.

A little reading from Apex concerning the various spring combos and their effect on trigger pull weight.

I recently "upgraded" my 650 to use the phenolic ball and lighter spring for the shellplate index. I soon started getting crushed (sideways) primers intermittently. Cleaning everything, shellplate, primer ring etc didn't seem to help. While watching the shellplate index, it didn't always get all the way home. The shellplate notches were not centered on the primer punch at station 2 on occasion.
Loading 9mm using WSP.
I re-installed the Dillon OEM steel ball and spring and all seems well.

Ammo shortage is hurting us.

My buddy in Phoenix took over a USPSA match when nobody else would.
I make sure to thank him at every match. It's easy for us to bitch about matches, it's another thing to step up and run them.
Ain't it the truth?

The AMG Commander has many configurable options, configs can be saved to several presets and retrieved, can be used for dryfire, BT interface with Practiscore (the time from the AMG will go over to the scoring tablet) and can be used with Practiscore Log app for training purposes. It runs forever on 3 AA batts.

I noticed the other day while installing the Apex FSS kit that the ejector had a lot of lateral play. It still functioned though.
I dug a new ejector out of my parts box today and compared the two. The new version is noticeably thicker.
After installing it, there was very little lateral play.
It will be interesting to see if the ejection is more consistent now.

I've had good luck with Dillon dies in my 650. With the Hundo doing QA, I'm good to go!

AMG Commander. Hands down the best.

Didn't know him but his products have treated me very well over the years.

Put an 8MOA on my CO gun. I haven't run it in a match yet. Sighting in went fine.
Running drils etc I am happy with the 8MOA dot.
It's early obviously, but I like the FTP.

I'd get everything back to stock configuration, fire some factory ammo and see how the gun runs with those 10 round mags.
Make one change at a time and verify operation.

I can turn out a BUNCH of ammo pretty quickly on my 650, especially since I added Mr. Bulletfeeder It is simply amazing frankly.
No, I've never loaded on a 1050 or an 1100. I'm not sure either one would turn out better ammo or do it faster than my 650. But since I've never loaded ammo on either, I can't say that with certainty. There's a reason Dillon makes them and they sell them.
If I had unlimited funds (and shot a LOT more than I do), I'd get an 1100 for the swaging/primer seating adjustment (and automate it) but I'm getting along fine with the 650 as is. (I do have a Dillon Super Swager bolted to the bench alongside the 650 to swage the occasional crimped brass.)
Bottom line, for me, it comes down to $$$$.

Okay. The guy was an Army Ranger regardless.

The guy is Claude Werner. He is a former lead instructor at the Rogers Shooting School. RSS is one of the facilities where some US and NATO alphabetized units that shoot not only paper went to learn a thing or two. It has a unique curriculum that most USPSA shooters won't care about. Likewise, I doubt that Claude gives a damn what USPSA shooters think about his draw.
Something about a Ranger tab is in the mix as well.

Yes to a slower, inefficient draw. Boomer who probably has never been in a gunfight said so.
Probably guilty of gross overgeneralization too.

My feeder spring/tube is almost an "L" shape at the bend at the top of the powder hopper going down to the die. I pushed a few coils of the spring feed tube past the tiewrap as well to ensure there was no upward pull from the feed tube on the die.
As we all know, setting one of these up involves a fair amount of "seat of the pants" adjustments. But once you're there, life is grand!
Good luck!

Get the bullet feed spring/tube as vertical as you can. You want to minimize the amount of side loading on the body of die so that the insert is free to move up and down freely. I tie wrapped the tube to the DIllon Powder measure on my 650 near the top of the powder measure hopper
Adding weight to the sliding portion of the die can help too. I wrapped some heavy lead solder around the plexiglass tube to add weight. Many people put a spring on the die to help pull the sliding portion all the way down to the home position. There are aftermarket kits to do this if you wish. I haven''t had to do that.
What is probably happening is the sliding portion of the die isn't returning to the full down position and allowing bullets to slip past the 3 ball bearings inside the die.
I assume you've tried both the high and low setting for the 3 ball bearings in an attempt to fix this?

No, I haven't. It's back to OEM in that area now. I wanted to try out the aftermarket but now I'm sticking with the OEM for the detent.
