9mm wcc headstamp if I didn't state before
-
Here's a less angle shot showing the crimp ring smoothed out
-
most of the crimp ring is swagged out...you can see a bit here and there but for the most part its gone

Where's my finders fee?
Eric, if you would ship it, I'll pay it.
lol hi Ward I just realized it was you...small world. is your boy still going into dentistry?
-
I don't pretend to be any sort of expert ...but when I look at the pics you can still see the crimp ring indent....I've processed about 125k of wcc and that ring should be smoothed out on swaging...

Keep us posted!

where you from?...you might need to make a road trip

What weight bullet?
For 165gn jacketed and 231/HP38: almost no data. One manual--start 6.3gn and MAX 7.0gn.
For 180gn jacketed and 231/HP38: start loads range from 5.1-5.9gn and MAX loads range from 5.8-6.7gn.
For 200gn Jacketd and 231/HP38: start loads range from 4.6-5.6gn and MAX loads range from 5.6-6.5gn.
I always start at the lowest start load I can find.
I'm running 155 montana gold...I just got a Thureon defense carbine in 10mm. Want to get that rockin

I don't remember where I learned this but I like it for my swage adjustments...take a case with the primer punched out. Take a sharpie black pen and color the primer pocket. Blow it dry. Swage the case and look for the black to be rubbed off. Adjust for more or less.
I've got a video I posted on here of my press processing military brass. Check it out. The video shows a fair amount of swage effort on the shell plate. With that I've had zero issues with wcc headstamp taking CCI primers. My bro in law shoots competitive up in Lynden wa ...uses wcc brass on a 650 with no primer issues.
When I've under swaged my results looked like the pics...

What calibers? I haven't noticed any issues with my 9mm or 10mm...I also don't overload...then I seem to have feed issues...bullets gotta have room to mix and rotate

Speed I wouldn't think would be an issue. automated press going 1000-2500 hour don't universaly see this issue. My opinion is that it's a swaging issue. Softer winchester primers are more forgiving. ..cci will demand a heavily swaged pocket

Thanks for the input...I will have to give it a try.

Another misconception is that crimping is necessary to hold the bullet
in place (not pushing back into the brass, or setback).
That's accomplished by the sizing die, believe it or not -
by making the case tight, the case holds onto the bullet and won't
allow it to shorten - called bullet setback.
Setback is dangerous. If you set your OAL at 1.25" and the bullets
get setback to 1.15", you can increase pressure dangerously.
As you're setting your crimp, you should try to push some bullets
back into the case (push very hard) and then measure the new
OAL. It shouldn't be shorter than before you pushed the bullet
back.
If it is, then you have a sizing die problem and the answer is
not to increase the crimp.
Thanks!!

Eric, I presume you're belling the cartridge case to make it easy
to seat the bullet.
If you don't remove the belling, the cartridge won't fit into your
chamber.
"Crimping" is really the wrong word here - we "crimp" for heavy
revolvers to keep the bullet from working out with heavy recoil,
but with semi-autos we don't really "crimp", we remove the
belling.
Removing the belling seems to be mandatory if the cartridges
are to feed properly.
Yes I guess that is what I'm doing but I thought that was also keeping the bullet from working out under recoil.
Thanks for the response...it's giving me a new perspective

I too have a Forcht modified super 1050. I added sensors and a microprocessor to cut power in a jam or if primers powder or bullets run out. Yield about 1000 rounds an hour
Here's it in action processing military brass. Video was cell phone so a bit distorted. Processed about 100k so far and loaded about 23k.
In regards to 300 blk out I think the super 1050 would handle it...fun project
How did you mount the microswitch near station 7/8? Did you just drill into the press?
Yes drilled into the frame then tapped it

:devil:welcome from another in the 'couve
Nice! I'm off Padden ParkWay

Welcome from a little north of you. Warm here too. What are you shooting?
9mm 10mm glocks and thureon defense 10mm carbine

If you are using the undersized .40 die that is the problem. It has a lot of resistance and you will not be able to run the press smoothly.
Try using a standard .40 Lee die. It will get rid of the bulge and be smoother while loading.
You cannot load smoothly with undersized dies.
Also, try using a little more lube. I use a big Ziploc bag, pump 10 times of Dillon lube in the bag, dump brass in there, and seal/shake a bunch and then use it.

do people really lube 40 cal brass?...I dont lube 10mm ...never had a problem. Are you using carbide dies?

Hi all -
If no one minds me asking, what sort of electric motor are these automated systems running? Are they just general purpose 0.5hp 115v 1725rpm motors with a VFD or more specialized low rpm units? Pardon my ignorance, I don't have much experience in this area.
I've been looking for a project to start with my father and we would like to tackle building one of these on our own. It seems I've got quite a bit of reading to do.
Thanks!
Here is the Specs on the motor on my auto press

I have this exact motor

I use only load starline brass in 10 mm if I didn't crimp am I asking for trouble??
VV N320 Smokeless power
in 9mm/38 Caliber

do you think it will be less available since VV was sold to another company? Company sale can sometimes result in supply issues...?
