I thought that the large spacer washer was only used for long cases. I don't use the washer.

That's pretty much where I'm as as well. I'm shooting 230gr LRN for eleven cents per round. I shoot 200gr LSWC's as well from Acme, Precision, BBI, and Missouri, but probably a few more cents per round.

How'd they work?

Without a case feeder, I'd say they would be about the same speed. I have a couple of SDB's and a XL650, and the 650 is faster only because of the case feeder.

I hadn't thought of it that way. Look at the money I'll save on bullets, primers, and powder as well!

I got the second emitter to work one time. It jumped from three to six digits every time I passed my finger through it.

Appreciate the help! I'm going to just go the Microswitch route. I don't get along very well with things with no moving parts...

That's how I had it wired, and with a 1.5v battery, but it isn't counting. Tried 3v as well. I have two emitters and neither seem to do anything... Thank You!!

Typo on the Emitter voltage.

If it would be possible to share your info on how you wired this up, including the voltages used, I would greatly appreciate it! I have the same Photointerrupter and have been on the phone with their tech service and they seem to have no idea how it would be used in place of a microswitch. My display runs on 5-30v and the Emitter appears to want 1.5v, so it looks like two power supplies will be needed. Thank you!

Torque Seal is not a bad option. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/cspages/f900.php Easy to see if anything moved.

You'll probably have them in your mail box tomorrow. I'm in Southern FL and they are in mine two days after ordering. Great service!

Where are you going to get the humidity to put in the holes? Send it to South Florida!

My apologies, I read it very early this morning when half asleep and replied later.

So the fact that you tested one powder speaks for all powders?

You may lose your neck tension as well as being too large to fit a chamber gauge. If I run my cases through a Lee Bulge Buster (FCD) and then process them on my Dillon with the Dillon Dies. the case mouth with bullet will be smaller than the FCD. The back of the case should be .424" and the mouth should be .423". The FCD usually sizes to .424".

Just use anything for the first round and put it in the dirt. No need to waste an XTP. I neglected to mention that that is some fine shooting right there!

I've had the same on a lesser scale and was never sure if it was the first, last, or an intermediate round, as I can't see the hits when I shoot. I've seen the "Massad theory" as well, as the first round chambers differently than the other four.

Are you sure the primer tube is indexed properly and locked in the groove? Just a thought.

I tried some 115 Acme coated RN with 3.2gr of Clays and got 963fps at 1.135". Tried 3.5 gr at the same length and they were all over the target. Sig P226.

My M&Piece of crap 40 will fire with an .010" shim, but not with 020".

Just for the record...4.5 of Red Dot with a 180g Acme FP NLG at 1.160" got me 963fps from a P226.

Just dug out my Glock 22 and it will not fire with .010" between the barrel and breech face.

I stuck a piece of a business card (.010" thick) between the breech face and barrel on my P series Sigs and they would not drop the hammer. I didn't have a Glock handy right now. [/uR Edit: This one is of 1989 manufacture and I bought it as Military surplus with plenty of wear on it. I shoot it a couple of times a week since I've owned it, so it's not exactly a pristine example being tested.

Excessive pressure pushes the firing pin and dimple back out.
