Looks for Match

Looks for Match (2/11)

  1. I did the mod that AzDanMan mentioned and it works well, better than the charge bar did for me. That's a scratch not a crack next to the screw, but do be careful when you drill. I just have a hand drill. You can also get a 3D printed, after market micro charge from Titan Reloading for around $30. https://www.titanreloading.com/titan-reloading-products/titan-micro-charge Time is one thing, but once you start spending money on the Auto Disk, you might want to consider an Auto Drum. I have both now and use the Auto Drum most often. Dave
  2. I'm wondering if the mount for the Auto Prime that attaches to the press has any wiggle room. I don't own the ABLP but on the Classic Turret you can adjust the placement of the mount that screws onto the press a little. With the newer Auto Prime you want the rails on the bottom to slide easily over the primer arm. Dave
  3. Can't speak to the 1911 until you have one on hand, but the Blue Bullets have worked fine in my stock 3rd Gen G19 and G17. I went from XTreme 9mm 115g to Blue 115g with no issues. Seating profile was the same so no die adjustments were needed. Shot about 1K Blue and then went back to plated. Didn't care for the smell of the Blue, although most people don't notice it. Dave
  4. I 've never had a problem with Blue Bullets either. For 9mm the bell on my cases is 0.01-0.012. over the measurement of a sized case. Crimped they measure .378. Ben53, you probably already have this but I'll post it just in case. Lee came out with a 3rd generation Safety Prime that is gray. They did it mostly because of the ABLP having problems with the older Safety Prime. Picture of the newest one on the left. Dave
  5. Thanks for the tutorial, vince. I don't own a LNL but always thought if I ever got tired of my LCT I'd get one. After all these years I'm not sure my brain could keep track of more than one case at a time. Dave
  6. You can easily adjust the FCD to just remove the bell created for seating the bullet. Dave
  7. I second that on their customer service. Don't own a Dillon, but had a broken Lee part on a Saturday. I called them up and had the part in my mailbox on Monday. Dave
  8. As long as you have no liquid lingering on the case you should be OK. I would think using a dehydrator would take care of that. Most of us deprime first because the cases dry out more quickly, although you do get the added benefit of clean primer pockets too. Not as important for pistol cases as it might be for precision rifle loading. Dave
  9. What brand of press are you using? Dave
  10. Depends on what you're looking for. For capacity, the gear driven ones like the FART work very well. But, if noise is a problem you might want a belt driven one which will normally give you about half the capacity of the FART. My FART can be loaded up to 30 lbs. That's pins, cases and water. I usually load up to 25 lbs and get close to 1000 9 mm cases, but its loud and I have a detached reloading shed. Most of the belt driven ones I've seen used keep you at about 15 lbs, but you could run them in your house without driving everyone crazy. Dave
  11. Thanks, look forward to seeing how well it does. Dave
  12. Judging by my internet search for "blasting grit" I'd say you'd have to see if it would get into the case and primer pockets well enough to clean but not get stuck in the case. If it looks like it will work, give it a try. I'm sure people here would appreciate seeing what your results are. Most people that use ss pins are always looking for a better way. Getting the pins separated from the brass is a common complaint. Many have started just wet tumbling without the pins. Personally I just use a Harbor Freight magnet. Dave
  13. Frankford Arsenal Rotary Tumbler. Dave
  14. Didn't see the $20 shipping but they I know they are discounting plated bullets 10% at this point. Still my favorite bullets. If I didn't already have over a year's supply I'd order. I don't think my shed floor can handle any more weight. Dave
