Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I picked up a couple of boxes of the 147 Flat Nose bullets and will be testing them out with Titegroup.... Gotta get my Chrono out again and see how they come out. These new coated bullets are extremely impressive to me since I shoot mostly suppressed with everything I shoot.... 45 & 9. The Coating is extremely thick and the bullets are super smooth with what seems to be extremely uniform shape surface as well as super low weight deviation from one bullet to the next on the scale. Put them on a scale yourself and see how close each bullet weight is from one to the next. Also - give this a try, take a coated bullet and put a propane torch to one.... watch as the coating doesn't even really break down before the lead melts behind it... I like what I see here - can't wait to get them out and run them.... will report back when I get some down the barrel.... Good Luck and Happy Shooting guys.....
  2. I had the same issue and the alignment tool dillon sent me fixed it right up...
  3. hahahaha I wonder if they unload those at a discount when they are returned for not working..... I'd be willing to bet they have a guy that just reopens the box to get them working and sell those returns as new on discount..... I got one of the two I bought that didn't work, and gave it a smack as well and its been working ever since.... They are hit and miss, with a few tweaks they do pretty good.... I do like my Dillon RF100, but they are spendy bleotches.....
  4. Just use a bracket on the bench and screw into the wall, hitting a 2x4..... When you remove the screws - just use tooth paste to fill the hole and smooth it out, it will turn white when it drys.... Renters trick.... Screw down into the floor and through the carpet , they will never know after you remove the screws there either.... Problem solved...
  5. This is how I made my bench..... then used 1.5" butcher block for the top. Stole the idea from here.... http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_42/319362_.html Just adjust the measurements to the size you want... I added a couple support beams to the middle same as B & C in pics... Super happy with the results and that thing aint moving.... Cost was pretty reasonable...... Height was 36" I used some Butcher Block Tops lag bolted from the bottom.... 36" x 72" sealed up with Teak Oil http://www.menards.com/main/home-decor/countertops-laminate/butcher-block-top-36-wide-x-72-long/p-1797515-c-3629.htm I could have pinched penny's but money was no object and it was still very reasonable.
  6. Also helps in determining velocities for subsonic vs supersonic - for use in shooting my guns with suppressors....
  7. Hows about getting those autodrive deals.....
  8. I generally leave my 650's in the process of loading and just place a few inverted bullets over charged cases in the shell plate and walk away. So when I need more of that load I just remove the inverted bullets and start cranking. Much faster production that having to start from an empty machine and run it empty at the end. It for some reason I want to stop the flow of primers, I keep a ziptie looped around the failsafe bracket, just lift the indexing arm and pull it back and loop the ziptie around it. 2 seconds to turn the system on or off. jmorris, Thanks for that - that is a fantastic tip that in all the reading I have done to prepare and acclimate myself to the 650's ahead of time I have not seen. That should certainly help minimize the good primers down the ramp for me.... I'm still not as smooth on my machines as I should be but I'm getting better the more I use them....
  9. I think its more of an issue of before or after you run a batch that your pulling the handle to get cases moving into or out of the system, there will always be a few primers that make it to the ski jump if you have a full primer plate, and no brass on deck, as well as when your at the end of your run - your last piece of brass has to make it all the way around to the finish bin, how do you stop the primer plate from turning when your pulling the handle. I'm a newer reloader but I can't wrap my head around how you eliminate those two things from happening.... Of coarse, those seasoned veterans perhaps have better timing on all this or your a magician and have absolutely perfect timing to match the exact amount of brass to the primers...... please feel free to educate us imbusil's I ordered that kit for each of mine - seems like a nice addition for us freshy's.... In all honesty - this seems like something that should be part of the Eno's How it should be parts kit add-ons, perhaps more like how it should have come from the factory to begin with.... The spent primer bin with electrical tape around the edges is a good enough fix as one spends less time/worry with waste as you do trying to recover good product.

    Want one!

    Nice report RAZZ..... ha - for sale a couple of P30 LEM's.... Just bought an XDm 9mm, guess we'll see how it compares.... FWIW - there are a few preorders going, in various configurations on the other forum starting at $550 each.... $600 with night sights
  11. single stage here and added dual 650's..... They are not as beastly as you would think, sure some learning curve but well worth it... Small and large primer was the key that sold me.... Plus having a machine for 45 and 9mm at the same time is awesome, with the flexibility of switching to load rifle is a big plus... Precision on the single stage, bulk on the twins....
  12. This is how I made my bench..... then used 1.5" butcher block for the top. Stole the idea from here.... http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_42/319362_.html I added a couple support beams to the middle same as A & C in pics... Super happy with the results and that thing aint moving.... Cost was pretty reasonable...... Height was 36"
  13. I got the skylight kit for both of my 650's..... I'm very happy with them, even though I have a good amount of light above and around my bench - these make all the difference in the world.... Can you do you own for cheaper - sure, but it seems like they really spent the time getting this laid out just right and installs very easy & quickly. I do like the ingenuity of members making their own stuff, look forward to the results... The Skylight is super bright and machined to fit perfectly with the right amount of cable to route, and the strip LED's are the perfect length and very bright as well. Tons of light flooded into the work place. I ended up routing the power for my casefeeder and the light kit up to the ceiling area so none of the electrical chords are laying about on the bench.... Super Happy with the investment...
  14. I massaged my ramp back into order a bit, but again the weight of the bucket wants to make it bend more - I ran a ziptie around the frame and that ramp and no more issues.... worked great.... I swear I'm going to abandon that blue bucket hanging on there, extend the ramp to a much larger box that sits on the bench.... Next project...
  15. Here ya go - this should make quicker work of that swager of yours you already have.....
