Great info; thank you!

Good info...I have the Dillon RT1500 trimmer set up on one of my 550 toolheads now, and use the 600 Super Swage on and Inline Fab adapter as well. Sounds like the 1100 can be set up to size, trim, swage and load complete rounds without having to change anything out or do anything separately?
-
Thanks. Yes, I would definitely want the casefeeder for the 750; should've mentioned that.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but the comment, "The 750's sweet spot is only one or two calibers (neither being 223)" obviously has me wondering what's wrong with running .223 on a 750? I have an old 550B and was considering the 750 for a .223/9mm combo press. Any comments much appreciated!

Safariland ELS - Very basic question
shuter replied to shuter's topic in Multi-gun Gear & Accessories
Is there an "adapter plate" sold by someone to put ELS/QLS receivers on Tek-Lok units? My holster, pistol mag pouches, and rifle mag pouches all have tek-loks. Would I be better off just getting "adapters" (if available) and putting them on my ELS belt setup that way?Thanks You don't need adapters for the ELS brackets to fit on Tek-Lok equiped pouches, etc. They just bolt on, hole spacing is the same. Thanks. I guess I'm confused. The above reply said to use tek loks "to secure the receiver to the belt and put the forks on whatever you're trying to attach." That made me think I would clamp my Tek Loks over the ELS belt, then put ELS brackets on the Tek Lok receivers, which would allow me to snap on/off using ELS but be able to move around on the belt by unsnapping the Tek Lok receivers and sliding, etc. Is this right? Sorry, but I probably used way too many words there! -

Thanks. Is it a bad idea to leave off the clamp altogether?

Is it common for the mag tube to have to be forced into alignment with barrel when reinstalling barrel/tube clamp? Seems like mine is under quite a bit of pressure when clamp is installed. Haven't checked poi yet clamped vs. unclamped. Thoughts? Is the clamp necessary? does it cause issues to have the barrel/mag tube essentially pulling away from each other? Thanks!

Just got the chance to shoot my 930 JM Pro for the first time after having the lifter welded. It worked perfectly before (stock lifter), but now, occasionally, will have a fail to feed. the shell hangs up on the lip of the chamber/barrel. A tug back on the charging handle, or pushing on the shell takes care of it, driving the shell into the chamber every time. Can the "longer" lifter be pushing the shell a tad too high? This happened with all three of the same ammo types that worked 100% prior to welding. Any help would be greatly appreciated. shuter

Looks like fantastic work. Great attention to detail. Will have to check them out more closely. Thanks for sharing.

Safariland ELS - Very basic question
shuter replied to shuter's topic in Multi-gun Gear & Accessories
Good point. I assume the inner belt should "buckle" in the front and the outer in the back? Or should both buckle in the back? -

Makes perfect sense...thanks! -
Just got my ELS belt and the inner/liner belt. Never having used a "two belt" setup like this before, I'm just curious as to how it works. Do I just thread the inner velcro belt through my belt loops then stick the outer ELS belt onto it? Also, there's a hole in one end of the inner belt. what's that for? There are lots of videos on Safariland's website about how to set up the ELS plates, etc., but nothing about the inner/outer belt arrangement. Probably because everyone but me gets it... Hate to sound stupid, but it ain't the first time! Thanks

Okaaay...first try at loading my 930 JM fast!
shuter replied to shuter's topic in Shotgun - Technical
That's a great point. I can see where there might be times that traditional weak hand would come in handy. At this point, I think my primary will be twins loading, but I'll also practice weak hand. -

Thanks. Jeff at C-Rums has already worked his magic on my lifter. HUGE difference, as you pointed out. I think that weak-hand loading 2 at a time is the way I'll end up going, using Carbon Arms' SSLP6 Pinwheel setup, most likely (trying to decide between the P4 and P6, but leaning toward the 6). You're right though...TONS of practice. -

So you're saying to Dremel that 90 degree edge to more of a "slope"? -
Well, first of all, "fast" is a VERY relative term. Just got a couple boxes of Fiocchi dummy shells and gave her a whirl for the first time. Haven't purchased any loading "system" yet, so I just wanted to play with the 3 methods that I'm considering (after significant research on this site). I tried the load 2, quad load and loading 4 (one at a time) from a caddie...all weak-handed. I simply took the gun off my shoulder, flipped it upside down and rested the butt in my armpit while I quickly reached down and grabbed 2 (or 4) shells. I'm trying to determine which method suits me best before spending a bunch of money on caddies, pinwheels, etc. Here are my initial thoughts: I really like the "quad load", assuming I can alleviate the problem of the second two keeping me from inserting the first two. I think I'm not separating the two stacks as maybe I should be? The "load 2" seems very fast and simple. I like it a lot and might prefer it, but don't want to give up on the "quad" just yet. Trying what I gather is the more "traditional" method of loading 4, one at a time, from a caddie in which they're stacked, it seemed awkward and slower, even though it seems like it would be easier to do on the move? Anyway, just wanted to post my first experience at this very important aspect of 3-Gun. Would welcome any thoughts you guys might have. One thing I'll say is those dudes doing 3.5 second loads with 8 shells are my new heroes! see ya

Thanks very much, guys. Very helpful stuff. Mine ran 100% out of the box, but I only fired 60 shells. Will be doing lots of practice now that I have my welded up lifter back, though! This info will help going forward.

Roger that, will do. Thanks. Biggest thing that needs cleaned is the rings on the piston......take them off the piston and clean them spotless to the point when put back on the piston they rattle. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
