Extractor

Good informative thread.

It's frustrating that you can't have a good ol' b#tch session!!!! :)

Stress less and live longer.......jeez don't sweat the small stuff

I hate the fear mongering of 10+ magazines. Does it really matter if someone has 10 x 10 shot mags or 5 x 20 shot mags or 3 and a bit x 30 shot mags? They still have the same number of rounds with around an extra 5-10 or 15 seconds in total for reloading. Where's the 'massive' safety for the public in this loss of freedom as espoused by so many people calling for a ban on 'high capacity' magazines?

Sorry it's poor form IMO and will bite all of us on the backside ........ it looks like we're ASHAMED to be gun owners and thats exactly how the media are reading it. After Newtown, the NRA goes silent (CNN) -- Despite an escalating nationwide debate on gun control in the wake of Friday's mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school, the National Rifle Association has remained conspicuously silent http://edition.cnn.c...ence/index.html

This did surprise me, but when I see that the NRA has taken down their Facebook and Twitter sites, why wouldn't the NBC!

IMO a MASSIVE backwards step. You either have something to be ashamed of or you don't. This is NOTHING but pandering and will be brought up over and over again as a big stick. "If the national body of firearms owners take down there own Facebook and Twitter pages, something must really be wrong with owning guns".

The NRA has taken down their Facebook page and Twitter account because of last Fridays tragedy. To me thats a backwards step and makes gun owners somehow seem 'dirty' and 'culpable' because even a national body seems 'embarressed'.

Golly talk about discrimination.

Backyard swimming pools kill more children each year than guns.

There is going to be some far reaching gun control measures from this shooting, never before have the politicians and law makers have had such an opportunity than what they have been presented with now after the utter tragedy of the murder of these young innocents.

Those freakin' two cardboard tags on the back of Federal Small Pistol Primers!!!! How they p#ss me off LOL one always manages to get caught and makes it a pain in the backside to slide the primer tray out and I always spill a few primers. Hmmm I feel a LOT better after my little whine

Thanks

What exactly does "out of battery" mean?

Thanks

.303 brass in the 9mm case feed and take off the cam.

I just take the came off as well, will be interesting to watch this thread and see what others do.

Soak up sweat and keep the sun off my eyes and stop my nose getting cooked so I don't look like Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.

Hi Jack, I've used Lyman and Lee dies for around 30 years and this is the first time I've used Dillon. The seating die is definately not only seating the projectile, but also taking the bell out of the case mouth (crimping??) I've checked with calipers before seating and after seating. Even using calipers I can't get the crimp die to do (or feel) as if its doing anything. I'll be back out in the reloading room again today mucking around some more.

My Dillon seating die pretty much takes out the bell. It doesn't feel like my Dillon crimp die is doing a whole lot (or I haven't set it up right) I'm used to a Lee FCD.

Let your dog stick it's head in and have a smell and see if it can locate the exact location of whatever is stinking. At least then you'll know where to look and what to start taking apart.

Happier today. Last two stations now have Lyman split lock rings on them (yeehah!!! no more spanner!!!) didn't realize until someone wrote that they really tighten up (after being done up finger tight) when you use the allen key to nip them up. They really lock down!

How do YOU set the crimp die on your Dillon 9mm dies using lead (coated) projectiles?

The wrench I'm using is just a standard mechanics 1" wrench. A 1" socket works ok if I take the clips out of the last two dies.

Is this them? Pretty sure thats what came with my machine.
