So how big of a difference does the Hogue rubber big butt grips make in felt recoil, and does the big butt help in keeping a high grip on the draw?

So I just got my 625JM and I’m not overly thrilled with the factory grips and was wondering what everyone else is using and what are the pros and cons

The ram has signs of slight galling of the finish.

the spec’s on the frame bore are 1.486” min and 1.489” max mine on measuring the frame bore front to back and down 3/16” measures 1.491” side to side same distance down measures 1.4895” the ram measures 1.4845” the back of the bore is towards the top of the picture, and that’s where the frame is out of spec. Dillon was correct when they said the back side of the ram is where the frame bore wears the most.

I did talke to Dillon on this Super 1050 frame and he did quote $990 and change for a new frame. This was a little over3 weeks ago.

I talked with Dillon and they clam that if it’s out of spec they will only sell me a new frame at just shy of $1000.

Dwbsig what would your preferred choice be to make the bushing out of on that list of three that you presented? Then what would you use for lubrication grease or let’s say a synthetic multi weight engin oil?

I’ve considered that but I also have wondered about finding a drill bit guide bid enough to work. I have concern about the bronze lasting against the high load rate of the super 1050. Thoughts susgestions? Let’s hear what you got for ideas

Has anyone tried loading 3” plus brass on a 550 or 650?

I wonder what material should be used in order to get the longest lasting results and to with stand the abrasivness of gun powder and other debris?

Why Hello to you to Sir! I hope the weather is nice and warm where your at, and good shooting with all A’s.

MODS please close I figured it out and it works

So I have an opportunity to purchase a used casefeeder from a Super 1050. It is missing the case funnel, but I do have the micro switch. I was wondering if there is a way of testing the casefeeder without that important part, and or making it run for testing purposes? I would hate to buy a lemon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This a Super 1050 I’m thinking about trying this on. I wasn’t sure if anyone has ever tried this before with let’s say a 1/8” bushing

So I know this might be a far fetched question, but I was wondering if anyone has ever taken reloading press frame that was worn out of spec and had it bored and a new bushing installed to bring the bore to ram clearance back into proper spec?

I have both the CED and Shooters Connecton bags for my 6” Eagles with Brazos BMBH magwell’s with plenty of room

Solder now that is interesting! GrumpyOne so are you going for a hot solder joint or a colder one?

For dry fire purposes will snap caps hold up to extended firing pin or is there something that will hold up better?

So my question is if a few of you gentlemen have tried extended firing pins and then removed them so what was the desired results that you were looking for upon installation and then the reason for removal? Are the extended firing pins supposed to be a fix all for a light strike problem?

Is there any notable difference between the Apex hammer and the TK skeleton hammer as far as quality, fitting, or any pros or cons?

Many thanks D-Man and everyone else that posted on this topic. It just made this job a WHOLE lot easier for a newbie. So thank you everyone!

Have you ever tried Unique before?

BHBret wow I love that idea on the carriers it looks pretty straight forward. I never gave it a thought on the SWC’s because that’s all I load for my 1911’s sounds like I better give Dennis a call at Bayou and get some 200 gr RD nose or 230’s. Any preferences on powder?

What would the lightest yet reliable DAO trigger pull weight attainable be, and parts combinations be?
