After playing around with 9mm processing. I finally settled on using one toolhead using egw u die, DAA powder funnel, mr.bullet feeder, Redding seater die and Dillon crimp die. Now I’m happy and contented with my setup. Thanks to all of your comments in helping me narrow down my choices. Oh and yes I kept the 650... cheers everyone ?

Tried it just now the brass goes in easy with the square 40sw ammo trays. I use the berrys 100 round trays

Sig p320 xfive 147 ibejiheads WST 3.2 1.150 OAL makes 130PF Shoots soft and accurate

I tried this today it is the fastest way to Count the brass and check for the brass that has ledges... before lube and dump into the case feeder ??

We have the same 650 setup I did go in the cry once route but did it very carefully. I looked at the system and saw that the primers only held 100 at a time. I immediately saw that the primer system would be the limiting factor. I did my first bullet loads using the 650 without any attachments once I had the hang of things and got my recipe locked in. I noticed powder all over the place. That’s when all the research via Brian Enos forum started. Plus, I learned a lot from other members. I got all the mods for that shell plate so it would stop slinging powder. then got the lights to help me see what I’m doing. Then I got the case feeder and the rolling handle bar. Ran with that for a month then Had a bunch of failure to extract. Did some research well, I got lazy so I asked the members and they were kind enough to point me ot the right parts to get. so got my dies switched out to egw u die and Redding die for OAL. Then went with the mini bullet feeder since I didn’t see the need for a mr bullet feeder. Went with this setup for 6 months. Loading primers using the pick-up and then the vibrating hand held thing got combersome coz I keep on loading 100 primers at a time. I got tired of the primer loading so I got the Dillon rf100 and wow things really sped up quick. Went with this set up for another month. Now the mini bullet feeder was dragging me behind so I went a step further and got the mr bullet feeder. So the mr bullet feeder combined with the Dillon rf100 is fantastic! Easy in and out for once. Now it’s livable coz I can’t be stuck in the garage for more than 2 hrs at a time (Wife and my baby ). Now, I can load 500 round easy in one quick session. No more setting up the mini bullet feeder every time it runs out and no more primer juggling with the vibration plate. I just dump the primers in while they jiggle in the tube hands free and just dump 2 hand fulls of bullet heads on the bullet feeder and crank ahead. Only stopping to pick up a fresh tube from the rf100 and dump a hand full of bullet heads into the hopper. Now if I can figure out how to process my growing pile of stubborn primered brass...

Im now shooting 9mm major and minor and reading your post makes sense to get a 1050. Oh well now I know where my tax money is going... lol ?

I started competition shooting a year ago. Started with an edge 40 for limited. And got bulk ammo from freedom munitions. Once I was getting used to drawing a pistol and stage planning. Tried production and enjoyed it too. This got me into reloading and since I shoot 2 calibers the obvious choice was a 650. Now that my eyes are holding me back I am now shooting Carry Optics and commissioned a gunsmith to building me my first open gun. I keep on trying to sell myself a 1050 but something seems to stop me from getting one. Yeah I know the price is one of them but after dealing with the brass pick ups that I have and I have three 5 gallon buckets of unprocessed 9mm brass. I still can’t let go of the 650 coz of all the upgrades that I put in it. When I reload and the lee U die rod pops up I just chuck that brass into a separate bucket and continue. Well, what do I do when that bucket of tough primers is full? It would be a waste if I couldn’t process that... i forgot to mention that i reload for 3 of my shooting buddies that’s why 25k of minor mixed with major loads was easy to reach.

Last year I reloaded 25k of 9mm and 9k of 40sw still undecided what to do. Should I Get another 650 or move up to a 1050 for 9minor and major reloading... I’m still trying to figure out how to make long sessions bug free... after sorting taking out 380 and long 19x... brass and the occasional 40sw out. then wet tumbling and sorting again I still get some brass that has a ledge on the bottom half of the brass. My problem is some of the brass I picked up have stubborn primers they are hard to push out and some are hard to stick in primers. I’ve only reloaded for a year so still much to learn thanks for all the input very much appreciated keep them coming I want to get to decide what is the most logical and stress free process I’m not ready to throw mucho $$$ for processing...

Thanks for the heads up regarding warranty sarge. Looks like it’s going to be saving up for a 1050after all...

So my 650 has 5 stations and would like to process 9mm brass to minimize hang ups on long reloading sessions. I sometimes have problems seating the primer. Will a swage on the 2nd station work? I have read somewhere on BE forums that using a lee universal decaper , then swage, then pass on a Dillon sizer and decaper less the rod , followed by a lee u die without the rod. But that was on a 1050. I would like to know if it’s doable on a 650? I’ve been scanning the forums and couldn’t find any information on 650 users that do this. Thanks in advance!

Out of stock everywhere... would like to try this power

Ck frame and Sv grip.. thanks ?

Hi there what metal grips are these and where did you get the grip tape thanks in advance

Are you guys talking about the regular sig P320? And not an xfive?

I have a sig p320 xfive and I sent it to gg for .the competition trigger job and they replaced the trigger with gg trigger. So im reading what members posted on this thread. So, I’m understanding now is My pistol is now an open pistol and not carry optics legal pistol since the said trigger is not legal? Wow ? this is not good....

Are we talking about the sig P320 XFIVE? With GG competition job with flat trigger? Thanks in advance...

Thanks so much hope this works for us ??

Is that a zr tactical part? Which part number is that? Pls share link so I can order thanks in advance.

oh wow and i read somewhere that it fits 1911 flat wire from wilson combat grrrr but did not catch that it was machined down to specs

Hi guys my friend just got the zr tactical guide rod captured and a Wilson flat spring for the 1911 how do you put this together? We are stuck lol pls help thanks in advance

oh yeah! that's where i wanna be at as well! thanks for the feed back!

i was not ready for the BOLO coz of the light strikes i think i read somewhere in the forum to hold out on that part until i sort out the issues on tuning. also its always out of stock grrrr lol

its good to here that i have to stop tearing down and swapping parts. coz that is what i was doing for the past 3 weeks. i was just building a parts bin for the stock 2 in hoping to find the miraculous combination of parts that would work 100%.i'll check the ammo that i will be testing next time. i did the shimming of the 650XL with your method. i was seating the primers flush .000-,001 and now after the primer mod i'm getting .003-.005 at the most. i will load 100 rounds to fined out if it is ammo that's giving me problems. thanks for the advice and info guys! i'll try to do things systematically now and stop jumping into parts swapping and over polishing stuff.

i just checked, my ammo passed the plunk test tapping and falls out no problem i can also spin the round while it is in the chamber. now the firing pin. i remember reading MemphisMechanics post about polishing the firing pin and the hole. but, i dont remember reading about how to check the FP. pls add a link for this . thanks in advance.

How low did you get the rear sights? How many clicks from bottom?
