  1. Same here, did not save much time, as I needed to often correct the brass. Eventually, I took it off and feed by hand again. However, .357 mag fed very well, but 9 was a pita.
  2. You should maybe mention the company's name so others stay away and do not get burned like you.
  3. They are still the best system! Maybe do a search online or send a message to the email posted in the first post
  4. How do you use it: inside or outside......
  5. Maybe the wad cutters are lubed...
  6. Both of mine, and I think they might be about 10 years old have the same: washer on top, and washer and lock-nut on from the bottom. I have upgraded to the handle that is angled, with rollergrip, and both the old straight ones have also a thread and nuts.
  7. Totally agree with the cheaper Amazon scale. I used to work for 50 year as a chemist and used analytical scales a lot. I got a little Amazon scale and compared it to the lab scales with graduated/certified weights = right on!! I think I paid something like $20 or so. It sits on a slab of granite, which sits on a thick rubber pad.
  8. I found this to be brass depending, some have really lose primer holes. Whenever I feel that I did not seat a primer, I check, and always there is the primer. Other brass gives me the slight resistance when seating a primer. Beats me now which brass type it was, but I remember correctly, is that GFL gives little resistance.
  9. Have no problems with Norma brass on my 550 either. I have checked quite a few cases, but never thought that the lil hole is smaller than any other brand.
  10. Not sure if the powder measures differ much from a 550 to a 1100. I use some machined weights in my powder hoppers. The late father of a friend was a big re-loader and he always was striving to the perfect powder weight. He also was a machinist and eventually he came up with these weights. They are a pound and a half in weight, including the Dillon hopper lid. I get very small deviations in the throw, often 0.01-0.02 when doing several consecutive drops, but are always below 0.05+/-. My powders are Vectan Prima V, CFE Pistol and Vectan Ba 9 1/2.
  11. Could you imagine how much money they must have lost before the pandemic when primers were only $30/k.....and ammo was $10/50 rounds for 9 mm.....
  12. Do not believe the prices come down anytime soon. We are getting milked....and they make super profits.
  13. I shoot a lot of reloads in my Walther , the ring is normally very thin and fine.
  14. I had a SQD and it is great if you load just one caliber (handgun that is), but now I run two 550's, one set up for large primer for .45 acp and one for small primers for 9, 38 spl and 357 mag. Personally I did like the SQD, but I am more comfy with the two 550's. The only benefit I see for a 750 would be the fifth station for a powder check for the long rounds 38 and 357 mag.
  15. There two small holes in front of the top of the link arms. You can see these holes on the schematic that was posted. This is where you have to put some grease i from time to time. I use an old syringe with a large diameter needle. Works great. I do not think you are supposed to take the pin out for applying lubrication.
  16. This is so true!! A can of air does a great job cleaning any powder or other debris out of the gauge, just give it a quick spray and the rounds are fine fitting in the gauge. Compressed air is quite cheap in cans and it is what I always use around the press, helps a lot to clean up small powder spills, and other stuff that may interfere. I also tumble dry, so there is often a kernel of the media that "needs to go away."..
  17. no, never had an issue, they all what I use for years
