This is what makes me spend my money when I'm on the edge of "do I want it or do I need it!" Waiting for the bonus check to come in.

Throwing this out there .... I bought the cut down tool head Dillon recommends for the .300 Blackout. I use two of these; .223 and .308 Reason why is the trim die has a hole milled through it for the brass shavings to evacuate. The lock nut does not have enough thread to engage and it galls the threads on the lock nut. And the lock nut obstructs the hole. With the cut down tool head, the lock nut clears the hole making your vacuum more effective clearing the brass shavings cause it's now unobstructed. I also use two lock nuts, one below the tool head and one above the tool head so the sizing operation dimensions never move.

Dip the case head in DyeKem stain in blue or red. It is used to layout patterns on metal, drys fast.

Get yourself checked for cataracts.

Poking thru a half filled vacuum bag for those brass pins really sucks!

Get the cutdown toolhead designed for the 300 BLK... The brass shaving 'window' won't be obscured and you can nut it on top and the bottom. Vacuum breathes much better.

You just saved me 150 bucks! Thanks! Have a wet tumbler and considering a vibrating one.

RCBS green or Hornady red ... there are some evil people here!

Whenever I buy something, I look at purchase price minus resale price. I'm going to live and at some point I'm going to die or change hobbies. I can't bring it with me ... So that means looking at material possessions with a rental fee incorporated for the time I have it. Everything depreciates at different rates. Cost is not everything, time and quality are intangible factors that do bring something to the equation. I like reloading but enjoy the time shooting much more. Plus I like customizing loads that cannot be purchased. So I make my decisions based on that "rental fee" not price. I get my fun out of it then I move on, one way or the other. A Dillon was a no brainer for me.

Thank you!

Educate me please .... What is 9mm Major and 9mm Minor?

RCBS has these seating dies. Most online vendors have them. I'm pretty sure Brian Enos has them in his store ...

^^^^^^^^^^ Yup! I double nut it, one on the bottom and one on top. Motor has serious torque starting up, since over tightening anything on a Dillon leads to galling or stripping, this secures it well. I work with industrial automation ... one can make a lot of good consistent product ... OTOH, one can also screw up a lot of product before noticing. After using this toolhead, it is my opinion that it should be mandatory to use with the Dillon trim/size die. All the clearances are perfect. And I don't use it for the 300 Blackout ... (Yet) ... Just 308 and 223/556

This! You will always have a need for a single stage press. All kinds of reasons why. I'm in the market for a good used one right now.

There is a tool head that is cut down and meant to be used with both trimmers. I bought it for my 1200 because it opens up the "excavation" port on the sizing die so that the chips are vacuumed easier.

Still waiting for w231 to show up. All set on rifle powder for the moment.

Cost of changing calibers is expensive on 1050. Get a second 650 for that kind of money. One for large primer, one for small primer. You already have all the dies and tool heads.

Steve is correct. Setscrew number one and setscrew number two are used to lock down the slides.To get consistent powder drops, use the knocker on the upstroke and again on the down stroke. Use the large Powder slide (#4) to get your drop as close as possible, then use the small powder slide (#3) to get it to the closest 10th of a grain. These units are very accurate once you learn how to use them. They are great for load development.

If the problem is determined to be static, ground your press to a ground wire.

Get the LED light kit and use your eyes. I agree with Brian's assessment in his FAQ section. The Dillon solution is inexpensive for what it does but speaking for myself, it develops a dependence and fosters complacency. Developing good loading habits and utilizing a load that fills the case up 60% or more will prevent errors. I work in automation and controls for a living. Done a lot of research to find an ideal sensor that can fit within the confines of a press, that is non-contact and still maintain compatibility with different calibers. The only technology that comes close to performing this task is a chromatic confocal sensor and the price is in the thousands. It is a little out of my range.

Case gauge ... And a caliper.

I am so glad I don't live near you .... It is so hard separating need and want when I look at your projects!

That is GREAT advice! One also gets more consistent ignition due pointing pistol down and raising to fire. Only advice I got is focus on accuracy, not power. Best time I ever had shooting was reloading half of a five gallon bucket of .38/357 semi wad cutters my uncle gave me. I was broke, couldn't afford jacketed boolitts. Said what the heck and started loading that priceless gift ... shall we say everything came together! Loaded them light, shot a lot and my accuracy increased exponentially. That was one of the best summers of my life. RIP and thanks Uncle Mo!

Thank you all!

Found this on snipers hide ... Guess I'll call Brian later this week.
