    Xl650: No More Primers On My Floor!

    in Dillon Precision Reloading Equipment

    Posted

    If you are using a Dillon XL650 I have put together a very simple, 100% effective, solution for spent primers all over the floor. Many thanks to other BE contributors that have also worked on and posted their solutions to this problem. Directions here for anyone interested:

    1. Cut the base off a 45 acp brass (I used a dremel with cutting tool). Now cut serrations around the other end and bend them back to look like Figure 1.

    attachment

    2. Take a piece of 5/8" OD x 1/2" ID vinyl tubing (of desired length) and slit one end about 1/2" with a utility knife.

    3. Using a hose clamp, clamp the brass to the end of the hose as shown in Figure 2. Note: Do not shove vinyl tubing all the way up the brass to the serrations, leave just a little space.

    attachment

    4. Loosen the screws that hold the primer cup bracket in place, or take them all the way off if easier for you.

    5. Slide the brass into the primer cup bracket with serrations on top of bracket and up against underside of the platform, should be a perfect fit. Brass should be positioned near the opening of the cutout, not pushed all the way back into it. Reinstall/tighten screws . Brass/hose will be held in place by serrations being squeezed between the primer cup bracket and the bottom of the platform. See Figure 3.

    6. Drill a 1" diameter hole in your reloading bench just inside the right hand bracket of the strong mount (as you stand in front of it). I drilled from underneath as reloader was already secured in place. Push hose down through this hole (see Figure 4)and into some sort of collection jug (I am using an empty antifreeze bottle). Cut to length but remember that hose will rise 6" +/- when handle is operated, so don't cut it too short.

    When your case is deprimed the old primer drops directly into the vinyl tubing and travels down to collection jug, no more primers on the floor.

    3-gun in W Washington

    in Multi-Gun, Rifle & Shotgun Match Announcements

    Posted

    I've been out of the game for a while and wanted to shoot some 3-gun this summer and it looks like 3 gun is all but dead around western Wa. :unsure:

    Since it looks like there are no USPSA matches, does anyone know of any other 3-gun matches???

    Thanks! Steve

    It's not a 3 gun match, but they host a "Tac Rifle" match up at Custer every month.

    Here are some vids from that match.

    Where can I get dates/times for these matches? I am considering relocating to WA and want to stop by and see the match, I already have the USPSA matches on my calendar.

    Casepro 100 - information

    Talked to Mike today via e-mail. He's beyond slammed with trying to keep his primary shop running. 14 hour days and unfortunately Case Pro takes a back seat. However, he does 30 machines in the process of getting done and hopes that they'll be available in about a month.

    I'll keep folks informed along with Alan.

    Too bad he wont sell the rights to the product. I would consider buying the rights and firing it back up in full again.

    I've got a JP LRP-07 on order.

    I also considered the Larue.

    The new KAC M100-SASS looks pretty sweet.

    I'm glad there are more and more options now.

    I am thinking of ordering the same JP - got it yet? What is the lead time? What options did you choose and for what will the rifles primary purpose be?

    I am thinking of buying a JP LRP-07. Since this has been out for awhile, what is the long term stamina power of the rifle? From what I hear, JP is like Dillon now and loyality reigns with them now.

    .45 ACP

    I am going to start reloading for my .45 ACP

    1. Does brass make a difference, I notice .45 ACP brass out there. Is it really needed

    2. Going to be loading a N320 setup, anyone point to good load data?

    3. My 650 press is already setup with .40 and I do not think I can use the casefeeder with .45, so I am going to setup my 550B for .45 ACP.

    I have had nothing but problems with this setup. It would work great for 4 cases, then el jammo. To the point where you have to take the die out and find some way to extract it. The brass is not overly buldged. I am looking to send it back, waiting for his reply.

    In case you haven't, I suggest a shot "One Shot" case lube or equivalent. Can't imagine how the thing wads up.

    Jim M

    Ya I am completely baffled by this. First few cases work great, could be a lube issue. But lubing this many cases is not practicle, I don't need to do it with other presses.

    John appears to have stepped up 'Dillon' style and offered a full refund. So thinks are looking positive, grant you everything isnt done but so far I can not knock the product if the vendor stands behind it in the way John is.

    Airsoft Problems

    Posted

    I have purchase an airsoft from Manny Bragg. This is actually the second one, sent the first one back. I am having all sorts of problems with the second one also. Can not even get through a single magazine. Does anyone know of any troubleshooting guides/tips? It looks like the slide is not cycling fully and seriously rubbing up against the hammer. I have tried dousing it in silicon spray and get maybe 1/2 shots off. I know its not Emanuel, so whats going on here? I am at whits end, actually put the airsoft down to go hit golf balls (and that just aint right).
