if you wernt new youd realize its different match to match,, stag to stage,, or even from SO to SO on the exact same stage due to a piss poor rule book going back to the original. 
And yep none of it makes sense and never has..
You just have to go to a local match and see if you like it and how its run and what their version of rules are.

So its just like two different Christian denominations that interpret the bible differently. LOL

We used to have Robert Ray, who would at least give the HQ version and not leave it up to a multitude of ACs, kind of like district judges.  

Being new to IDPA makes no sense that rules are different regionally do to each ACs interpretation of rules.

Immortal Arms has the VP primer pocket reamer for the 1050/1100.

I doubt Dillon will release anything like this.  Sad to say, but feels like Dillon is not doing much innovation these days while the competition (Mark 7, Frankford Arsenal) is spending money on R&D and release new products.

What's the advantage of this over the swager the 1100 comes with?

I only shot 10 rounds in my PCC. They fed fine, but obviously WAY more testing is needed. I will say they make nice clean holes in the targets.

 

 

They do make some clean holes.

That’s interesting, 1.095 is where I seat the 124 MW which is -.015 off the lands in my gun. 

Not my PCC one of my pistols.

I loaded up some 124 match winner (TC) . My OAL is 1.090 before they would plunk.

 

That's close enough, right?

That's where mine was so I went .015 more so if seating varies I'm still under. My die holds 1.075 +-.005

 

[RMR round nose vs RMR truncated cone (match winner)]

I put 200 plus rounds through my GMR-15 this weekend with zero issues 100 of them were in a match. I load mine 1.075OAL

[RMR round nose vs RMR truncated cone (match winner)]

I use truncated from RMR holow points work great in my pistols and leave nice holes in paper. I don't have a lot of them through my PCC but haven't had any issues.

I was told to never oil striker assembly or channel.

 

[Before I get into reloading question(s)]

I have the Hornady AP that I got running like a top caliber change overs are easy but looking at the X10 for the swaging. The only problems I have are with crimped pockets in range pick up.

Factory ammo? My first thought would be a high primer, but I dunno.  Not familiar with the gun at all.

 

MY reloads. I was thinking high primer but I case gage everything and look at primers but could have missed something but to go off out of battery seams weird.

[XMACRO Slam fire out off battery]

This happened other day I put my XL slide on XMACRO lower shot a drill went to slide lock reload inserted loaded mag and like all MY 365 guns do 98% of the time when mag seated slide closed but this time the gun went off but sound weird finger was not on trigger so I stopped slide was partially opened. The case wedged itself back in to magazine. The primer dent that set it off matches up with bottom  of slide. No gun or magazine damaged. Not sure what happened. Any ideas?

have you ever thought,  what are they selling?

 

From the start, it looks like a good base for a home built 

motorized ammo press.

the length of the stroke may not have crossed their minds?

 

my desires are more modest,  a primer collator, a bullet feed

and swage all done while I am cranking a press.

 

and that don't help you,  what press has a shorter stroke

than say a lee turret?

I have a Hornady progressive that I got running like a top till I get that crimped 9MM case. I'm looking at this for the swaging as well.

[Bar-Sto barrels hooplahhah]

I hade one for a G35 it shot well. I no longer have the gun but have the barrel if you're interested.

Just because you can does not mean you should.  What I mean by that is people say you don't need to lube when using carbide bits.  My press runs infinitely better using lube with my carbide dies.  Less interruptions in loading due to the press jerking around when loading without lube.  I imagine lube also increases the longevity of the dies and the press.   

I used to not lube then tried the one shot makes the press run much smoother and easier to pull the handle so now I always use one shot.

do you do anything after loading the rounds, such as wiping them down with a towel etc?

If I want to run them through my DAA auto brass marker I tumble in corn cob for 10 minutes but I have done  thousands with out cleaning off with no issues.
