One other option is to use a 3-gun gear 2-pac shell holder
just drag the shell directly back into the open port .

I called Dillon about problem 1... as a preventive measure, the rep suggested adding some grease under the bridge (station 1 locator) to work as a shock absorber. Can't hurt.
I had a 650 about 10-12 years ago back in England. I am sure that there used to be a small spring under that bridge. Or perhaps my imagination is playing tricks on me. When the case feed slid the case down the bridge the spring would compress and as the feeder retracted (as the plate rose), the ramp would rise up and the lip on the end would rise above the case rim and keep it in the slot on the shell plate...
Did Dillon used to have a spring there or am I going nuts ? If they had one, why was it removed, if not then why don't they add one. It would solve the problem permanently.
just checked my dillon manual. no spring. great idea though...
You are correct there is a spring under the bridge on the older models.
I have two 650's one is a 2000 with out the spring and the other is a 1993 with the spring.
I didn't quite understand why the spring under the bridge was dropped.
the bridge on the 2000 model came from the factory with grease under it instead of the spring,
I guess the grease is cheaper than the spring.
No problems with either press to speak of, both run well.

I still fail to see anyones specific reasons on why more than one scoring system is a problem or disadvantage.
Is it to hard to keep straight which match or scoring system you are shooting that day?
How hard is it to understand the difference between 2 holes V.S. 2 A's with points down for C's and D's
As long as you read the rules before you get there there shouldn't be a problem.
The only disadvantages would be as Chuck already mentioned with extra time to score the targets
and slightly longer raw times for the shooter.
I currently shoot 4 different matches on a monthly basis that all have a different scoring system.
Personally I like the challenge of shooting at the "A" zone V.S. the fun factor of blazing two holes at a large piece of brown cardboard
which I feel is all about speed and very little accuracy, especially on a rifle stage in a small bay.
I think the Horner system will bring back the close range target accuracy.
The next match to use this scoring system will be the R & R Racing Multi-gun in Albany,OR .

Randy - Try the cooley twist so your hand stays on the foreend ,
or better yet, switch to weakhand loading!

Will we need to bring slings for long guns ???
DC - You won't need slings , there will be staging/grounding boxes on all the stages
and the stages are posted at RandRracingonline.com
Robert also mentioned that all the rifle steel will be the new plate rack style 10" targets
with the white backers.
These targets solve all the problems (visibility,calling hits, etc.) associated with long range steel targets.

Travis - Are slings needed for the shotgun this year?
See ya soon , Craig & Heidi

The breaching doors you saw in front sight were at the R&R racing Multigun 07 in Albany,OR
Everybody thought these were great targets built by Robert Wright just for his match.
Contact Robert at http://www.randrracingonline.com/index.htm
Here's some pics and a video of the doors in action http://jerrythegeek.arpc-ipsc.org/gallery/7rm7?page=1

BUZZZZZZZ.......you are all incorrect.
good guess 's Some very close imposters too.
But the correct answer is Fred Kellog from Oregon
He's a good friend, squad brother and Heavy metal shooter.

If you have a early model two peice slide stop that uses a screw to hold it together
replace it with a one peice design.
The reason Iam recomending this is the screw will eventually break .
This happened to me at a section match.

Should fit,The JP trigger is the same size as the original.

WOW... what a good time we had at A1 Multi-gun !
Mike,Tom, Chuck, staff, RO's Thank's for doing a great job.

I would like to have a 20rd AR mag adapted like the .308 versions I have seen.
Is this even fesible or not? If not, then what are the options available to increase the capacity?
Thanks, Craig
-
I also had this same problem . The easy fix is to very slightly back off the rear set screw
the rear set screw sets the hammer and sear engagement depth.
If any debris gets under the rear screw, it will reduce the amount of sear engagement.
This adjustment will also increase your take up travel as well.

The 3-Gun Gear bandolier works great for keeping your pants up
when fully loaded
Oh yea, bring a large bottle of Ibuprofen

Lynn - i have had the same problem you mentioned with both of my 650's
the cause of the problem turned out to be the spring inside the plastic
case feed housing.
It was weak and needed a little stretching , as well as cleaning the rail
the feeder rides on.

You can buy the N.C. mag tubes at Brownells.com

I have a CED as well with the IR light screens, but won't pick up the shots anymore
after only the second time out.
How do I know if the sensors are bad?
Craig

I know two people who use the jp hammer and trigger in there
rock river 9mm carbines with zero problems.

Blockhead- I had the same gun and scope with the YHM rail and Leupold QRW rings.
Forget about the YHM mount , I could not get my shots to stop moving in the elevation
direction . I took the YHM rail off to verify the problem and the verticle stringing
problem ceased. I could not tighten it enough to stop it from moving.
You get what you pay for. Go with the larue one piece mount and you won't look back.

We would like to say THANK YOU!! to Blane,JJ,Denise,Steve and staff for putting on a fun and challenging match.
And also the RO's too, you guys were very professional,courteous,enthousiastic and
not to mention helpful. Please come back next year!
We had the best bunch of helpful and supportive people in our large squad (16), like match sponsors Sabre Defence, and every division represented, as well as 4 ladys.
I hope to squad with you all again soon, Thanks again
The stage designs were a good mix, although I would like to see more multi-gun stages (only2 this year) and greater distance on a couple of rifle stages (300yd.+).
Our favorite stages were #2,5,6.
Stage 3 (pistol) was a major adrenaline rush before we even started shooting Friday
morning,
I was standing at the back of our squad during the stage briefing, when I heard
this deer running full speed from behind up the narrow creek bed, as I turned to face the deer there was a large mountain lion was chasing it. The cat went up the left bank and the deer had me dead in his sights on a full out run when it turned within ten feet of me
and leaped up the right bank.
Needless to say, we were all watching the banks above us until we left the stage.
See you in 07, Craig & Heidi

I use different types depending on the type of match or stage designs.
For multi gun matches such as the Iron man and tactical style matches
where there is alot of prone position shooting or props that can unseat
your mags if you have to get close to them. I prefer pouches such as
the ones made by 3-gun gear or blade tech , both have excelent retention
and are easy to take on and off.
If it's a pistol only stage or a muti-gun without prone position shooting
I prefer to have the safariland 771 pouches on the front of my belt
just like I use for uspsa limited pistol matches.
The only problem when you switch positions on your belt you might
forget that there are not where you remember them, and reach
for the old location on your belt ooops

+1 for the blade-tech DOH (security and versitility)
I believe that there are better ways to save time on
a stage than a couple tenths on a draw.

I use blade-tech with tech-lok for belt mounted mags as I like to position the mag
behind my left hip (this works well for prone). these can also be adjusted for any
angle you like.
If I need more than one extra mag for a stage then I use 3-gun gear
thigh mount double mag t-rig . It is very comfortable, easy on-off
and can accomidate pistol mags as well.
The mag pouch can be removed to be used on your belt also.
this is a high quality product well worth the price.
You can buy the double mag pouch first then add the t-rig latter
if cost is a factor.
Reload speed is about the same with either.
Call mark at 3-gun gear if have any questions.

I was wondering if CCI primers (smp and smr) give any problems with the RF100
I have only used winchester with no trouble , but a good deal on CCI has come up
and i would like to know if its worth it to switch?
