Update on the spring design shellplate from Snoshoz.........never shipped, would not respond to multiple communications..money refunded.....avoid this guy. Oh well seemed like it was worth a try. Ordered the foam style case brush from Arrondo yesterday. WAC spillage for Major is a PITA.

Update on the spring design shellplate. Ebay seller never shipped and would not respond to any form of communication. oh well...seemed like a good idea!..ordered the foam style add on spill buffers yesterday. WAC for Major spillage is a PITA. Thanks to all.....

MBF.....you’ll find it as vital as your Casefeeder. i procrastinated on the RF-100 for years..finally received one for Xmas .....once again ..why did I wait so long?? a Little adjustment and some valuable Enos tips , it runs like a clock....anyone need 12 primer tubes? Just do it!!

Thanks!!

Ok my first dumb question for 2019 Do you tape the rear part of the red dot so you can still see the dot ? Doesnt make sense to me to tape the front.... thanks for your patience

BadShot..I started competitive shooting at 60....production to Limited and now Open. Skip everything else...go Optic, go Open, spend a fortune and have fun...it’s working for my bad eyes.....

Ditto....all my experiences have been excellent...waiting patiently for my second 9mm Chaos....

This is a spring sandwich designed shell plate for 650 / 1050 .Theory is it traps the case into the shell plate eliminating all movement while turning. Supposedly it will do away with plate pins???...I find this doubtful. A long time accessory guy on Ebay Snowshooze is his name is producing these as well as a bunch of other upgrades for Dillon products. It made me curious for loading Major rounds and powder spillage...we will see.....report to follow ...Happy New Year to al !!!

I’m using CCI small pistol , just opened my 115K box, and a MBF.......god I love this 650 !! New spring design shellplate due tomorrow.......really excited!!

Got so excited I forgot to ask my question: any suggestions on transferring the primers from the RF-100 tube to my existing 12 standard primer tubes?.....and is it worth the time? Thank again.

This is a follow up from an earlier inquiry about the RF-100. ...well Santa left one under the tree this morning...surprise!! I read all the helpful suggestions posted on previous threads about this product.....all helpful...my results : - Firstly....I’m never lucky enough to get a mechanical doo dad that works out of the box....this is an amazing exception!! - made sure unit was level and plumb - installed the rubber band on the spring loaded lower adapter. - Played with the reostat adjustment through 4-500 primers...found the sweet spot. - after adjustment did not notice any flipped primers....CCI small pistol. - The proper reostat adjustment seems crucial! I’m sold...works like a champ so far ......thanks to everyone who’s helpful guidance made this a cool tool!!

Warpspeed......2 different pistols......I’m assuming the main difference is recoil springs ?

Do folks that shoot traditional USPSA matches and Super or Outlaw steel use the same loads?? Im considering setting up one open for steel with Minor loads and other Major. Anyone shoot strictly Minor for steel matches.... can’t see any advantage of Major. Straighten me out.....

Just received a new Alpha x mag holder to replace a broken one....swivel plate broke off. This new “ball” unit is really impressive. ......total adjustment and firm setting. As Per DAA I will put a little blue Lock tite on the main screw. I will eventually replace all my holders as needed....a little pricey!

Thanks to all ....winter projects!

My last foolish question to end the year! Im considering trying RMR HP 124’s as opposed to the round nose I’ve loaded in quantity. How do I set up my COL for HP Bullets? Am I using the real overall length of the round or adjust it to compensate for the difference in Bullet design? Im currently loading Major 9 to 1.165.......thanks for your continued patience!!

Spent primer adapter with hose. Gallon plastic jug under the bench ...works great...amazing when it fills up...that’s a ton o’ spent s!primer

Hornady One Shot......I put a couple of handfuls of 9mm in a gallon zip lock....bounce on bench to try to get as many of the cases face up. One Shot of Hornady and shake bag...I lay them out on baking pan over paper towels. Let dry throughly and load ‘em up. I never found any need to reclean after loading. The brass is a little dull...but the entire process is so much smoother. Buying One Shot by the case....great stuff.

Did a little experimenting last night....reduced “crimp” from .380 to .378........100 rounds mixed brass all dropped right in the Hondo....very interesting this minor adjustment makes such a difference.......still chasing the perfect 9mm Major Round !!, Thanks to all...........

I am loading 9 mm major reloads to 1.165.....is there an accepted crimp measurement that you all find satisfactory? currently I’m returning the loaded brass to .380.... but wondering if this is effecting my case gauge tests?....I use a EGW U die which seems to be working fine on resizing the end of the brass. Will increasing the crimp drastically effect the load specs?.....Thanks in advance.

Order the Zeiss optic wipes from Amazon...they are excellent!

Got into IDPA then USPSA at 60 years of age. Went the USPSA route and throughly enjoy every aspect of the sport. Best thing that happened to me was trying a friends Open pistol. The red dot will extend my shooting abilities for years. Am I old and slow...absolutely..but shooting matches, designing stages and are reloading are all fascinating.....love the sport...wish I would have discovered it 30 years ago!!!

Thanks for this info.....very interesting!

Carbon fouling......I use Zeiss wipes for maintenance....

I can’t find the thread about folks having problems keeping RTS2 optic glass clean....my last experience. I read all the suggestions about blowback on the front glass. Even called C-more and a very helpful young man suggested Hoppes solvent on a Qtip. To no avail , tried Windex, my Zeiss cleaning pads...nothing worked. This afternoon I tried some Fine Glass Polish from Griots Garage I used for show cars.....BAM !!.....took every trace of distortion off the glass. I used fine Q tips and removed all the polish...then put 2 coats of old fashioned Glass Wax on both sides. This glass is a good as new. I thought I would pass this solution on...was getting a little frustrating.....Thanks.
