  1. Powder dispenser has been reworked and any new ones should not have an issue. They replaced the one on my Revolution and it has been working well since.
  2. In my case it wasn't backing out but actually shearing off.
  3. On my 1050 I had the bolt on the other side of the handle sheared off, Dillon told me to drill through the bolt with an EZ-Out drill bit then reverse it and remove the bolt. They would not take the unit back, fix it and then send it back to me themselves. The unit was under warranty as it had sheared off about 6 months into the 12 month warranty period. I had not even heard of EZ-Out extractor bits at that point. Below is a pic I had taken. Dillon is excellent for sending replacements for broken parts etc.. However, they are worthless when it comes to doing actual warranty work (based on my experience with them). I also had issues on a 650XL that I no longer use as it is also broken and their no bullsh*t warranty is just bullsh*t. I don't mind doing maintenance, taking the units apart, replacing parts, and cleaning and putting them together again. But, I do expect a company to handle warranty repairs.
  4. I am a relatively early adapter of the Revolution. I never met Jay (though had conversations), and never had a previous experience with MK7 so not a fanboy, Being an early adapter I have had issues, all of the issues were resolved to my satisfaction, parts replaced in a timely manner and software updated. The parts that were improved are part of the current BOM now, so current customers will not have the same issues that I had. The quality of service has been excellent. Unlike Dillon, MK7 did not tell me to go fly a kite on machines under warranty and tell me to make the repairs myself.
  5. I like the new rules, except for the -1 sec rule as a Limited USPSA shooter occasional C hits are acceptable for me but too much of a penalty in IDPA so it changes the game for me. Now, I have only shot two IDPA matches but now I can shoot more due to the rule changess as the gun I will use in CCP very similar to my limited gun and is legal now. https://i.imgur.com/nufniBhl.jpg
  6. When I got the notice that my machine shipped I put in the request via a tech support ticket to sign me up. It was done done and I was good to go by the time the machine arrived.
  7. I have both, an automated CasePro and a Rollsizer. I ordered the Rollsizer two weeks after I had the CasePro. i just got tired of drilling out the plastic shear screws, Also, I am running the Rollsizer at the pace of 4K plus, the CasePro is back in the crate it came in waiting for someone that wants a greatly discounted unit and one who doesn’t mind replacing the shear screws every few thousand cases or so.
  8. Except. Kim H. was talking about gripping front to back like a "C clamp", not push pull. BTW, Ron Avery has been teaching the "C clamp" method for decades.
  9. Interestingly Tim Yackley got a match bump at Nationals a few weeks ago from an "A" to "M" by shooting 90% and placing 6th in Limited.
  10. If the shot had landed outside of 10 feet from your location and not over the berm you should not have been DQed. ND by itself during the COF is not a DQable offense.
  11. Per rules as pointed out earlier one can reshoot only once. In regards to "paper GMs". The skill set still has to be there to have draw, split, transition and reload times in addition to accuracy to make GM scores in classifiers regardless of how many times one shoots a classifier. As a "B" shooter, it doesn't matter how many times I shoot a classifier. I am not going to have a GM score regardless as I don't have the skill set... yet So, I'd say one would have to be at least a very solid "M" in order to shoot 95% or better in classifiers even if it is one out of ten.
  12. Here is a hack on making that even more efficient. Cost is about $40 for the tumbler.
  13. Not to mention usually after about 30 minutes of dry fire my support hand is shot. And that is doing a drill for 5 minutes and then taking a minute break. I can't imagine doing it for a longer time period effectively.
  14. With all the shipping notices here it looks like MK7 is catching up.
  15. Upload to Imgur and provide a link. Usually large thumbnail option will provide a decent picture.
  16. I thought rules stated that classifiers could be reshot only once.
  17. The only issue I have with dry firing with my 2011s is that mag well gets beat up, other than that you are fine.
  18. BTW, I just got the upgraded digital powder measure for my Revolution (though it was a brand new measure, not the one I sent in). The measure was set for 4.8 grains of N320. The extreme spread was 4.7 - 4.9 with most being in the 4.8 range. Using RCBS charge master so do not have 0.01 accuracy. That was a very informal test as I was measuring every 100 rounds while loading about 1700 rounds yesterday. The measure is supposed to be +/- 0.1 grain accuracy, so I was happy with that. 4.8 gets me to 170 PF so if during chrono they happened to pull all 4.7 grain rounds I'll still make major.
  19. For precision rifle or hunting loads I would not load on a progressive press though.
  20. Looks like you just want a battle belt How long would it take to move the holster back and forth vs just putting on the two layered competition belt? I mean we are talking about seconds here. If you really want to be lazy just have a dedicated pair of shorts for dry fire with an extra inner belt already threaded through the loops. I'd bet it would be much faster to get in and out of it than moving holsters from one belt system to another.
  21. Been very happy with this for mud and slick conditions. https://www.inov-8.com/us/trail-running/shoes-by-activity/mud-running/mudclaw-300-trail-running-shoes-yellow
  22. For "stick" powder that is probably pretty good for all measures.
