Or you could just ask them to stop.
I've yet to see that not work.

I submitted a ticket last night, and today I got an email saying that the warranty parts are on the way.
Can't get much better than that.

Both link arms snapped on my press last night, so I submitted a ticket. We’ll see how long it takes. Dillon support has been so good to me over the last 25 years, I’m willing to cut them as much slack as they need during these crazy times.

Wait a minute, while the above mods are definitely nice, I don’t think you can say they are better than upgrading to the roller handle. That has to be the single best upgrade you can make to the 550 (in my opinion).
And, what are you living the primer slide with? A liquid? Or more of a graphite powder?

Yea, it seems the problem is with the USPS. BBI fills it within days, but the box sits in Memphis for a couple of weeks. But then it only took 2 days to get to SoCal. Next time I will go with UPS.
Sure, but it definitely affects the delivered cost per 1000 when you do that. It sucks that we as the customer, and BBI as the seller are both getting screwed over because someone is pissed at that USPS location.

Thanks Brian.

Damn.i use firefox on an iPhone and it keeps me looged in. Everything works great...
...Except that I have to go find an email notification that links me to a new PM, in order to view my message inbox. No way ro get to it from the forum itself.
how do you mark forums as read on an iPhone with Firefox? -
Anyone else besides EchoTango made the switch to the new Xi pouches? Either aluminum or plastic? I plan to use them with Glock mags but can’t figure out which way to go.

Still not working for me.

I do not know if this will help. This is a 1050 with 550's side by side. Also, on the 1050 there are three indents where you can place your handle.
Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. And I had found multiple examples this morning after spending about 2 hours reading thru and checking out all the pics of everyone's loading benches going all the way back to 2005.

I know I'm not, and me, too; the truncated cone (and 147 gr flat point) are just not compatible with my old Colt.
I am at present loading Xtreme plated and waiting out an order from Bayou.
When those are gone, I will consider BBI's 135 gr round nose, if I have any primers left.
While I wasn't a fan originally, and I "think" I still prefer RN bullets, I will say that my first couple hundred rounds were loaded without changing any settings from my Precision RN bullets, and that ended up being too short for the BBI CN profile. Once I increased the OAL to 1.100 they run very smoothly thru all my pistols and Ruger PCC.

I used to use the locking pinch type lock rings, but recently went back to the standard Dillon lock rings and the UniqueTek wrench.

I like that Uniquetek wrench. It's certainly shorter than my 14" craftsman wrench, and would hopefully prevent me from overtightening and stripping the threads on the nut.

Ok all, I'm bumping this topic since it's been 6 years since the last post, and I'm wondering if more people are now shooting bullets out?
Also, as I transition from Production to Carry Optics or possibly Open I'm also upgrading my ancient mag pouches. They are pretty beat. I shoot Glocks, and am looking at the DAA Alpha-Xi's or Race Masters in plastic or aluminum. So now I have the option of bullets out if I want. I'm sure I'll try it both ways to see what works for me, but I'm curious how many shooters have switched since this became a subject.
Thanks,
Cuz

I’ve gone to Holosun 507C on my pistols, and the 510C on my PCC. They were less expensive, and I like them, but don’t have enough miles on them yet to attest to their durability.

That’s where I store my 5 gal buckets of brass. 2 with 9mm, one each of 38s and 40, and two full of 45s.
Stabilizes the bench nicely.

Does anyone have a side by side pic/comparison of the height off the bench of a RL550 and an RL1100?
I'm trying to determine if I'm going to need to raise up my RL1100 when it arrives in a couple of months or if I can bolt it directly to the bench.
I'm currently loading on an RL550 on a Strong Mount and the height is just about perfect. If I mount the 1100 to my bench, will the handle be higher or lower than the 550 on a strong mount?
Thanks,
Cuz.

A five gallon bucket would contain 22,341 bullets. And the bucket would weigh 396 pounds.
Does that include the weight of the bucket?

I opened my case of 3500 Bayou 124 grain RN bullets yesterday. The website showed a no-groove bullet, but the bullets I received have a lube groove. There was no mention of this change on the Bayou website.
I plan to use them, but I would have preferred the usual no-lube-groove bullets I've always bought before from Bayou, and Acme and Precision. Hopefully they will work in my Mr Bullet Feeder,
I opened the box of DG bullets this morning and they look great. I have three friends that like them too.

Seriously?
That would be unacceptable to me, and I have an order pending with them now. Did you reach out to inquire about what happened? I’d surely like to know why they did that.

I got a ProChrono DLX a few months ago after using a shooting chrono for years. For $100 it’s awesome, I never realized what a convenience it was to have Bluetooth and save the data on my phone. Or to be able to email the results to someone immediately.

Oh, I’ve already bent those flimsy things. I’m currently using a craftsman open end wrench...

How tight is “tighten securely”, or “snug the lock ring”?
How much are you supposed to tighten the lock rings to secure the dies in the shell plate? DoesnDillon provide an actual torque value?
Thanks.

I started installing a trigger housing with over travel stop in my competition Glocks and I like them. It seems after many, many years of buying everyone’s trigger kit under the sun you just can’t beat a Wolff competition spring pack ($9) and a Glock trigger housing with over travel stop (approx $15).
But, since I can’t leave well enough alone, and I happen to be a fan, I also add an Apex trigger with Gen3 trigger bar to the mix. This is for my Gen3 and gen4 Glocks.

Went through ups and took less than 5 days from order to door.
Same for me. Very fast.
I don’t think I’m a fan of the 125gr bullet profile, although a LOT of people shoot them. I wish they made a RN 124/125 gr bullet.

I used those parts from that specific kit. I don’t know if all 10/22 parts are the same. I had to watch a few YouTube videos to figure out where the shims went. The Volquartsen instructions weren’t very helpful.
The average over 5 pulls on my Lyman gauge is 3 lbs 5 oz, and that’s on a gun with over 3,500 rounds since its last cleaning when I installed the kit.
For comparison, the average over 5 pulls on a similar Ruger without the kit installed is 4 lbs 1 oz. that one only has about 500 rounds since it’s last cleaning.
I think I used the Lyman gauge correctly, and at least for this comparison, I used it exactly the same way on both rifles.
As always, YMMV.

Where to buy Ruger PC Carbine firing pin spring

Have you tried calling Ruger directly? I bet they’d send you one, and possibly for free.
