First, where did you find and extra cylinder!! I want one. Second, TK Custom has done work for me. I highly recommend them.

Thanks guys!

Greetings all, I'm wanting to start reloading 38 Short Colt out of my SDB. I have all parts for 9mm & 38 (as well as 40, 41 mag, not that those will be helpful). What specifically do I need to do to get it to work? I've heard different things, but maybe I'm too skittish to try without guidance. Thank you for your help.

38 Special. I shoot revolvers, & i know there are some 38 super chambered revolvers out there. I went ahead & ordered the tool head & toolhead holder. I think I"m good to go at this point.

Thanks for the replies guys. I hate it when I do a poor job of describing what I have. I actually have the complete conversion kits for 9mm & 10mm/40. I of course SAID I had the die, when I meant conversion kit. (Facepalm) So with me correcting myself, I think I can make do with a shellplate & shellplate holder. Or am I off on that? Thanks again.

Greetings all, First, thanks for bearing with me on a question I'm sure you've been asked or seen before. I am looking at having my SDB set up for a quick change between 9mm & 38. I just picked up a new 929, so want to be able to move back & forth between that & my normal 38s. I believe I know the items I need, but want to make sure I am not missing something. I already have dies for both calibers. I am happy with moving my powder assembly between the two sets. But I don't' know if I would need a new assembly for any reason. I am under the impression that I can just move my powder assembly by taking out the clamp (13895) & failsafe rod (16814) between the tool heads. I think I need the following components: Toolhead Toolhead Stand (really kind of optional, but i like the idea of having the toolhead I'm not using have it's own holder) I don't think I would need a new shellplate, or locator buttons, or powder assembly. When I look at the online store for Brian, I see a Caliber Conversion kit that seems to be not quite what I'm looking for. The SDB quick change toolhead seems to be more that what I"m looking for, since I'm ok with moving the powder measure. Am I on the right track, or am I missing something? Thank you

I'm new to reloading, I have a Square Deal B. The FAQ has a great breakdown on the difference http://www.brianenos.com/pages/dillon.html Pulled from the above link: Should I get the 650 or the 1050? A common question: I could probably afford the 1050, but do I really need it? I asked this question to three friends and long-time reloaders at Dillon Precision. Their answer: If you'll only load one to three-thousand rounds per month, and plan to switch calibers from now and then to frequently - get the 650. If you plan to shoot 50,000 to 60,000 rounds a year (4,000+ rounds/month), especially if don't plan to switch calibers - get the 1050. So, if caliber changes will be involved, lean toward the 650. If you don't plan to switch calibers, and would just like to set down at the machine and crank out some serious ammo when you have a few minutes - get the 1050. One usually knows when they're ready for the 1050. If you're not sure, get the 650. They do not recommend the 1050 for a newbie at reloading, & it is a commercial machine hence the different warranty. I do not shoot nearly enough to justify the 1050. YMMV...

Facepalm... You are right. I guess I really wanted to have a problem where there was none.

Ok, would not allow me to link to the video as I am brand new. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1IKPqurg3M&feature=youtu.be That is the video link.

Greetings all, I have encountered an issue on my Square Deal B. I finished with loading 100 rounds, & was emptying the powder back into the container. After re-attaching the powder reservoir, & resetting the failsafe rod, I did a test stroke. On the upstroke i noticed it would not reset the powder bar. Part 13871 (Bellcrank Cube) had fallen out, I was able to locate & re-insert it. However it will not complete the reset on the upstroke. I have included a video of this. Be aware, it's from my cellphone, not great video quality. Any help is appreciated!
