I have a 45LC on mine to add weight to the primer push down rod and once I did this my issue went away immediately....Learned this trick right here on the BE forum....Good Luck...Mark

Thanks TRP formyour response - I will hold on to my extra unit and give it a try...Thanks Again...Mark

I received in 52 days ago and it is still sitting in the sealed box that it came in from Dillon....I had some travel and family issues come up that prevented me from unboxing it - and now these delays should work in my favor (I hope)....I am going to list it for sale In the classifieds here tomorrow for what I paid for it along with some additional accessories I bought to go with it. Hoping I can find someone local to purchase it so I do not have to ship this 70lb beast......

Thanks HogRider - Because I have a couple of extra Dillon powder checker units that I ordered to use with the RL1100 (that I am going to list for sale here in the classifieds in the coming days) I might keep these extra powder check units for now to see if they will work because the “plunger” on the Dillon powder check does NOT cause me any problems on my Dillon 650 (that I am going to keep) when loading W231 powder. W231 is my “go to” powder for 9mm because I have about 14lbs of it left in my limited pistol powder inventory (got a great deal on two 8lb. jugs and two 1lb. containers earlier this year). Thanks for the feedback and I am excited about my decision to sell the RL1100 (still sealed in the original Dillon factory box I received it in) and moving to the Mark 7 which should arrive in about three weeks.....Mark

I have run at least 8000 rounds thru mine with zero issues...I love mine also...

Anyone ever try to use the Dillon powder check on an Evo unit? I ask because I have several Dillon units that I use on various set ups for my 650..?

Well I have spent hours and hours watching videos,reading, and talking with a couple of experienced forum friends and I have about decided that if I can find a Mark 7 Evolution in 9mm in stock somewhere I am going to get it and sell my - Still sealed in the factory packaging Dillon RL1100 in 9mm that was recently delivered...My plan is to use the Evolution to load 9mm and I will use a MBF I already have and I MUST have a powder check in my system so thus my question to the current Evo users here that load on their machine manually...Thanks in advance for any guidance and help...Mark

Mike - Thanks Sir for responding but I do not intend on automating my Evolution system (if I can find one in 9mm in stock anywhere)......On my Dillon 650 the powder “cop” is a battery operated unit that does not have to be hooked up to any power supply...My question was related to if Mark 7 offers a powder measure that does not require a power source to function... Sorry for the stupid questions but I was only days away from opening the sealed Dillon box that contains my RL1100 and I am SERIOUSLY considering leaving it sealed and selling it if I can find a Evolution in 9mm....Thanks Again Sir...Mark

Thanks DDC - Now to contact Mark 7 to get a lead time and price.. One last question please - I have a Dillon 650 and all of the accessories that I intend on keeping...Will the Dillon powder check work on the Mark 7 Evolution or am I better off getting The Double Alpha powder check or does Mark 7 make one that goes with their Evolution system?

Quick question from a guy that has a brand new still in the box RL1100 that is seriously considering getting a Mark7 Evolution system because of its extra stations and numerous other benefits.... I MUST have a powder check as part of my reloading press system and I also want to utilize a MBF and finally I want to be able to seat my bullet and crimp it separately so with this said is it fair to say I need to purchase a Mark7 Evolution rather than setting up my Dillon RL1100? Thanks Mark

I too have the Vibra-Prime and love it....If it becomes a little stubborn just a small flick of the wrist and it goes back to filling the tube....Mark

Another GREAT story about Dillon’s company and customer service. Mike Dillon would be proud.... USMC1974 - Thanks Sir for your service and allowing my family and I to live free and sleep soundly at night..Greatly appreciate you Sir....Mark

I load W231 under a 124gr bullet at 3.5gr and it is a wonderful fully functional powder puff load and works 100% of the time in my P320X5 and my PCC rifle.....

I just pulled out my Red Ryder BB gun and will be getting it ready gor the next local steel challenge match...

HAD in stock - I put 5 in my cart and their site crashed....By the time I got back what they had in stock were gone....Dang it. - I just need 5k SRP or SRMP.....

WOW - Woke up this morning to see that Powder Valley has removed ALL Small Pistol Primers from their website as being available to purchase. I wonder what caused this to occur?

I tried also three times and I never was able to complete my purchase so I did not get a single primer....Anyone know if PV loads their inventory on a specific day(s)of each week or at a specific time of the day(s) when they release inventory? Thanks Mark

A small amount of Simply Green will cut all of the carbon. I use it with the Armor All wash and wax Shown above and a small amount of Lemi-Shine. Cannot remember the amount of each because I clean my brass in a concrete mixer I bought at Harbor Freight.....

CCI for me also because they seem to cycle better in my Dillon presses and I do not run reduced springs in my pistols...

No finer CS than Dillon when it comes to taking care of their customers that are using their presses.....

CCI's are my "go to" primers and cycle without any issues on my Dillon machines and I am a very SERIOUS Competitor. I also do not shoot any of my weapons with reduced springs and have never had a light strike.....

8MOA on my two PCC’s And also on my two rimfire rifles

Hog - Thanks for posting the pictures - Dirt - Thanks again for the product details. I just ordered my unit from Everglades and hope to have it here later this week. Then to find a local machine shop to turn mine down that will not break it off in me. Mark

Dirt - Thank you Sir - Two questions - Do you recommend using this with pistol rounds also AND if I buy the exact item you show above will I still need to find someone to turn it down Or will it fit on the RL1100 toolhead as received? Mark

Ok guys - B-A-C-K up for a minute please for this less than bright guy that owns a RL1100 and just ordered the tool-heads I needed to set it up for loading 223(currently set up for 9mm)......Whet you are describing here is that when you are loading 223 you actually turn down the body of a die (or something) and you insert this through the non-threaded opening above the primer station that acts as a top side “support rod” that insures that, at the priming station, the case plate remains Secure from the top side to insure better and more precise primer insertion? A picture of what you are using would help this old slow redneck understand what you are doing..... Thanks for helping me understand what you are discussing here and the ultimate goal....Mark
