The last time i was in your reloading room i left it there..... to screw with you

Here is his contact info. Send him an email to see what he says Below is his contact information: Umberto Pallavicino umberto@umbertopallavicino.it

In April of this year(2023) I purchased 3 motors for the Pal filler from Umberto. The cost with shipping was a bit less than 25 Euros and at the current exchange rate equals around $27.00. Why try to save a few bucks if it is even possible by purchasing thru Amazon when you can buy directly from Umberto. He is very responsive to emails and is very nice to deal with. At the time he requested I use PayPal friends and family for payment. The PAL filler is an awesome tool and unbelievably well built and machined. It works well but for me it is not particularly fond of Winchester or Federal primers but works very well with CCI. Seems to me the Federal and Winchester are not as round as the CCI.

When I received my 650 about 8 years ago I had a similar issue. I found that the threads were buggered up a bit and also need to go a bit deeper. I ran a tap down the threaded hole and solved the problem Lube the tap well and make sure to clean out any debris left in the hole from chasing the threads. Don't ask me the thread size as I no longer own the press so I can't check the bolt diameter. Just measure the outside diameter of the threaded portion of the bolt.

FWIW. I liked the Inline Fabrication handle. It was smooth and the primers pressed in effortlessly. I found that using it I lost the tactile feel of seating the primers. I sold it and bought the Dillon roller handle. I found for me that it felt the best.

I submitted an on line ticket with a picture and 14 days from submittal to email from Dillon providing me with tracking number. Given everything that is happening that is not unreasonable

From day one on my 650 I used the IF roller handle. Top quality works great little to no effort to use. Then I had a chance to try the Dillon aluminum roller. I liked it better because I felt it gave me a more tactile feel when seating the primer. The IF was too smooth, just too easy. I still use the Dillon and sold the IF roller to a friend for use on his 550. I dont believe they sell the Dillon plastic handled roller anymore but if they do I would not buy it. I had one on my 550 and because the handle is triangular in shape I always felt for a flat as I used it, annoying to say the least.

That was ok for it's time this is so much better http://entirelycrimson.com/ECPMQD.html

Well as of now the flammables cabinet is the best bang for the buck. They run $500-700 depending on the model. The shelves are rated around 350lbs. Need to look at surplus equipment supply store for used. I will also check into local sheetmetal companies making me a steel cabinet

I have one sheet 3/4 plywood on mine and it works fine no flexing at all. Bench is mounted to wall and where press is mounted bolts go thru 2x4 boxing put in place under plywood when I determined where press would be located. I dont use a strong mount. My bench height was built to allow me to sit when reloading on the Dillon. I stand when reloading shotshell on the Ponsness. I highly suggest the Dillon aluminum roller handle as it is round. Their plastic handle is triangular and gave me a callous and it just never felt right. I also owned the Inline Fabrication ergo handle but it was just too smooth when seating primers and just did not give me the tactile feel of the Dillon aluminum roller. All suggestions are my preference and others will have different opinions

File cabinets are too small and would require too much space. The same can be said for old freezers and refrigerators. Stationery cabinets just can't do the shelf weight without major retrofitting. A flammable cabinet will need more research to see if it will work. I was not looking to have to bend over to load and unload a "steamer style" job box. The Knaack has merit but at $1200 I did say reasonable. The Fastenal cabinet is similar to others I have seen but at $1400 it fails the reasonable test. Maybe a local sheetmetal shop can build me something similar for less. I will have to inquire. I guess reasonable is under $700

Looking for ideas on ammo storage at a reasonable cost. It must be lockable but not necessarily fire resistant. I am not interested in file cabinets, old freezers/refrigerators, jobsite boxes nor cheap stationary supply cabinets. I would be storing shotshell by cases, ammo cans for rifle and pistol plus 50 round ammo boxes. Adjustable shelves are a plus but not a requirement as long as the fixed shelves are high enough for ammo cans. I currently use a gun safe but it is full and it really is not designed for optimum storage of ammo. I need more space. Thanks

I have the Allchin on my 929 with the Burris FF3 attached directly to the mount. I dont have the weaver/picatinny riser like you have. That riser should remove from the Burris dot. The Allchin is made to accept the Burris and other similar type dots as it has several bolt patterns on the base for different brand dots. I have the Weigand like yours on my 617 with a cheap Simmons dot which is round and not tombstone style like the Burris.

Go with the Allchin mount https://www.allchingunparts.com https://www.allchingunparts.com/products/smith-wesson-mini-sts-scope-mount-new

Dillon crimp and seat dies and powder funnel in 9mm. Dillon powder die and 2 tool head stands. EGW undersized 9mm die in 9mm. Now I have a complete 9mm set up for my G34 and one for my 929. I just give my wife my list with all the links to the webpage via email and Santa brings it Christmas Day,

Owned a 550 for 21 years. Sold it 3 years ago and went to a 650. The 550 is awesome, great press. I wish I had bought a 650 sooner though. Smooth and with the case feeder FAST! Follow BeerBaron's advice order the 650 without the case feeder. The extra $130.00 you will spend for the 650 over the 550 is worth it. I guarantee that when you are able to afford the case feeder you will purchase it. IMHO the 650 is the way to go, maybe not for a newb but you are not a newb and have experience with auto indexing on the SDB.

My IDPA revolver was a S&W 686 SSR. My ICORE revolver is S&W 929 with a Burris Fastfire 3 dot. Because of the dot I get added to open class for USPSA so it is not worth shooting it with a dot on it for USPSA. I just shoot the G34 for USPSA and IDPA instead

I dont have the strong mount but it fits with everything else you list. Based off my set up it will fit with the strong mount but most likely will not cover it

Just call it motion control grease http://www.polysi.com/polysidampinggrease.htm

Timing my loading speed on my 650 which does not have a bullet feeder but does have a case feeder I was able to load 100 rounds of 9mm in a bit under 8 minutes. Extrapolate that out and I come up with 700 rounds an hour under ideal conditions. I just can't pull the handle for 60 minutes straight but I have managed 400 rounds very easy with time off to add primers from already filled tubes and more cases. The LNL appears to be a fine machine but it seems to get knocked here quite a bit. Granted the slant here is towards Blue but there is a very good reason for that as you already know. My first Dillon was a 550 that I bought slightly used and kept it for 21 years. With everything I sold with the press it totalled current prices at 1k. I asked $700 and the first person to see it took it home. I considered the LNL before purchasing the 650 but with my previous 21 years of Dillon quality and service it just made no sense to me to switch. The more I see and hear about the LNL IKNOW I made the right decision. Buy a 650 you will not look back!

I am on my second 1000 of the same bullet. I use 3.5 grains of Universal Clays at 1.180 OAL which delivers 857 average feet per second. This is my load 3.2 grains will give me 837afps and 3.8 grains will give me 909 afps. I used a group of 10 rounds chronoed to give me the afps and I shoot it in my SW 929.

Euxx I had the guy who currently has the router go into the setup to see if there was anything in it related to "client isolation" He could not find anything. I also looked through the .pdf version of the owners manual on the Trendnet website and could not find anything. Any other suggestions?

Euxx, At this point I don't have the router but I will look at what you suggested ASAP and post my results. Thanks
