Will a roller handle ease my elbow pain?
ams30gts replied to LeviSS's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I agree with near everyone else here. It helps a lot. -
Should I upgrade the 550b
ams30gts replied to GregInAtl's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Switching over the primer on a 550 and 650 is super easy. I think the advantages are the 5th station, case feeder and auto index. I have never used a case feeder on my 550 though. -
223 trim die scratching up the necks

Ok thanks. Will break it down and give it a good ultrasonic bath and cleaning. -
223 trim die scratching up the necks

Sorry for the bad pic. It's not that, it's the vertical lines that look like light glare. -
223 trim die scratching up the necks
ams30gts posted a topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Dillon has polished my trim die a few times already after this has happened in the past. Just trying to see why this happens though. After maybe 20k rounds it starts doing this. -
Favorite primer tube filling tool... ?
ams30gts replied to Hammer1's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I use my RCBS flip tray and do them by hand. Gives me a break time between 200 rd batches. -
Anyone have a Mark 7 SWAGEsense?
ams30gts replied to ams30gts's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
After I buy it, I will probably run both sensors. It still happens on occasion (if I have the optical decapping sensor off) where a primer gets pulled back in part way and jams up the machine and then send brass flying out of station 8. -
RT1200 Blade Rotation?
ams30gts replied to StealthyBlagga's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I don't really keep track, but I have been through a few. Definitely not hundreds of thousands. -
Anyone have a Mark 7 SWAGEsense?
ams30gts replied to ams30gts's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
Do any of you guys with it switch form small primer to large often? -

Dillon 1050 Short Trim Tool Head
ams30gts replied to rhowell309's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I have a dedicated one for 223, but I have used it before and it works fine. -
I process 9mm, 223, 308 and 30-06 on my 1050 and just started doing 45acp. Those damn small primers!!!!! Even with the clutch at 0 or 1, the small primer brass makes it through and usually tears the rim off the case. I already have the F&FB swage rods and they work great, but am looking at the SWAGEsense. Any experience with it? Is it easier to switch from small to large than regular rods?
-
I have never used an Ammobot, but I have a Mark 7 X and love it. I don't load on it, but I do process 9mm, 45acp, 223, 308 and 30-06

$10 DIY Toolhead stand for 1050
ams30gts replied to ams30gts's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
Not sure, but pretty sure the center hole will be a different size. Just go to HD and play around with different parts. -
Is this case head separation?
ams30gts replied to ams30gts's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
The Dillon trim die got down to the line where the case head starts. the rest of the brass was fine. But this happened to roughly 20 out of 3000. -
I got this from somebody a few years ago, just made a couple more so thought I would post it. Parts from Home Depot 1x DURA 1 in. Schedule 40 PVC Male Adapter $0.70 1x Mueller Global 1 in. x 5 in. Black Steel Nipple $2.39 1x 1 in. Black Malleable Iron Threaded Floor Flange $6.84 If you run the ratchet system you may need to get a longer pipe. This one is only 5" and fits mine perfect. Screw them down to a piece of wood or work bench then done.

Processing some 5.56 for a customer and the Mark 7 clutch triggered when resizing some. I generally set the clutch to 1 or 2, but it would trigger at 3 and 4. Is this case head separation? I don't know anything about this brass like how many times it has been fired etc.

Best Dillon Automatic

Super 1050 with a Mark 7. Love my setup. -
Dillion 1050 shell plate flexing
ams30gts replied to CPD7119's topic in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment
I had that issue before too. I ended up buying a F&F shell plate and used a little more lube. -
I only run the optical decapper since I only process brass on my 1050. Works wonders though since the 1050 has a huge problem with dead primers getting pulled back in the pocket.

Fast and Friendly Brass Shell plate worth it?
ams30gts replied to postalpainmaker's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
I have them in all of my calibers. 1050 with a Mark 7. They are super well made. Much better steel and way less wobble. I had to replace a OEM Dillon once before. These only cost a little more and I can easily tell how much better they are. -
New Mark 7 Press autodrive combo
ams30gts replied to Shadyscott999's topic in non-Dillon Reloading Equipment
Drooool. That badboy cost more than DOUBLE my loaded 1050 with a Mark 7 X. hahha -
I process brass commercially, so I have some bigger ones. I use the Dillon CV-2001. When I was loading just for myself I used and loved the Cabelas one. http://www.cabelas.com/product/shooting/reloading/case-cleaning|/pc/104792580/c/104761080/sc/104661180/cabela-s-model-400-vibratory-case-tumbler-kit/731769.uts?destination=%2Fcatalog%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FN%3D1100197 It has a clear top which is nice, but it is VERY quiet and has a on/off switch on the cord. The gold pan is pretty useless as a separator. I currently use the big Dillon one.
