I have about 6500 rounds on my 6moa Romeo 1. I think the key is to torque them to correct specs and check them monthly
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI don’t think that was the issue. I torqued the bolts to the recommended 30 inch pounds.
Im thinking more likely that sig produced a bad batch of romeo1s. The three I bought, and at least 4 others that had the same problems, came from the exact same seller on amazon. Although losing zero does seem to be the most common issue with R1s.

Romeo 1 6 moa best I've ever had. Tried the rest, DPP is 2nd but heavy
Im curious, how many rounds do you have on your R1 6MOAs?
i think the is sight great, but I have gone through 3 that wouldn’t hold zero past 1000 rounds, and I’ve see two other people that have had the exact same issue.

I have a Dillon 1050, and a mark 7 auto drive.
When I call Dillon for support, a friendly human answers and they have taken care of every issue I’ve had.
When I call mark 7, since I don’t have their premium support plan (even though I recently bought a $3K autodrive), I get an answering machine. Sometimes I get get a call back a Couple days later, a few times now I’ve gotten no response at all. I have several issues that have simply never been resolved because they never called me back. Thankfully I haven’t had any serious problems.
Customer service is important to me...

I’ve been using decot prescription glasses for awhile. They’re great. The only drawback, and it’s a major one, is having to replace 2-3 sets of lenses when my prescription changes.

Have you adjusted the spacers as per the DAA videos to ensure enough of a shelf exists to allow a bullet pointed upwards to ride over it while one pointed downwards drops down and flips?
I have noticed with mine that when the number of bullets in my collator reaches a certain amount (apprx 1/3 full) that the collator plate has troubles picking up bullets. Adding more bullets fixes this. Also having anything on the collator plate to agitate the bullets solves this. Sticking my hand up in the collator in the remaining pile of bullets while it is running works. Fortunately what usually happens is a bullet ends up riding in each length-wise groove on the collator plate and agitates the remaining bullets enough to drop into the spaces on the outside of the collator plate. I usually run each reloading session with a ton of bullets in my collator in order to stay above this critical mass of bullets.
Is this perhaps what is happening to you? The speed of the collator plate makes no difference in this case. Either add more bullets or put something on the plate that agitates the pile of bullets.
I don't think its either of those things. I've noticed that it actually runs better when its half full or less. I get fewer bullets when its completely full.

I’ve never had a problem with my TTI extensions fitting the gauge and I have 15 of them.

Just to clarify, are y'all talking about inclining it backward, so the bullets nestle more firmly against the collator plate?
No, just slightly more tilt than the recommended 45%

Could you tell us how you adjusted the angle to do that? Did you lean it farther back (top/back rim away from you), or more forward, or tilted more to the left or right? TIA...
What MemphisMechanic said, I’m pretty sure I’m at 50-55 degrees. I found that it was way more consistent with the steeper angle, especially with flat point bullets.
When I was adjusting it though, I didn’t even consider that a steeper angle might lower the bullet output. I’ll definitely check that out and report back.

Do you have the tilt angle right? I fill mine with 1 cup of bullets. I have only gone up to 2100 but it doesn't fall behind.
I have the angle set so that I never get upside down bullets. I made up 10000 rounds last weekend and had 1 upside down bullet.
That said, I am not sure if the angle effects bullets being loaded into slots, I will have to mess with that and find out, I will try running on less than half speed as well.

I run the bulletfeeder at full speed. I’m loading a 9mm 147 gr flat point bullet. I’ve noticed that it’s more likely to have runs of not catching bullets when it’s full. I generally start with the bullet feeder full, and add every time I add primers to the 1050.

Hard to believe that you got 2 bad ones, but anything is possible. I have a 6moa that has around 10,000 rounds with no problems at all. I have not heard or seen anybody having trouble with the 6moa.
I agree, but nonetheless, they both failed exactly the same. Very frustrating...

Currently I run a 1050 with a autodrive pro. When I’m running at 2400 RPH I’ve found that my mrbulletfeeder doesn’t keep up and I need to back off the speed to 2100 RPH or pause the autodrive to let it catch up.
Im pretty sure I have the bullet feeder adjusted right, I get 1 upside down bullet per maybe 10000 rounds. But I’ve noticed sometimes it will advance 15-20 bullet slots without catching a bullet, and that’s when it falls behind. Are there any tricks or tips for avoiding this?

So, after multiple issues with Deltapoint pro’s, I decided to try out the 6MOA Romeo1. The first one I received wouldn’t hold zero after 500ish rounds, figuring I got a bad one, I got a replacement. Well, at around 2000 rounds the replacement wouldn’t hold zero either. They both did the same thing, POI would be 2-3” low at 10 yards. It would take over a full turn of the adjustment screw to get it back on POA. Then in another 50ish rounds the POI would be low again.
Really a shame, because I really wanted to like this dot. It’s very bright, and I prefer the 6moa over DPP’s 2.5. I’ve heard so many good things about the 6moa Romeo1, did I just get 2 bad ones in a row, or?

Never considered spectators an problem. The only time I’ve ever had an issue was when someone showed up with their 6-7 year old child, which is still fine when properly supervised. However this person didn’t supervise the child like the should have. The kid would constantly get in the way picking up brass, and by the end of the day was missing an ear plug, that was sometimes replaced by a finger.

Thanks for the info, one less thing to worry about.

I’ve been working up some loads for next year, and I got to thinking about the effect of altitude on power factor. I live at 5500 feet and I will shoot atleast one major match at sea level next year.
I usually load to 133-135 PF. I assume that I will lose some PF at sea level, but how much? Does anyone have any first hand experience with this? I searched around but didn’t find a definitive answer...
-
Never had an issue with this, with over 35K rounds through various X5s. However I very rarely reload from slide lock.
-
I Could never find an extended release that didn't rub my support hand raw. Even the OEM extended release.

They had some Black Friday Sales, but that's all I've seen.

I had to go to the hardware store and get some longer screws, the ones they ship are way too short
Upgrades to new P320x5...

9lb? That’s the lightest I’ve heard of someone running. Does it reliably return to battery? Mine wouldn’t with a 12lb.... factory weight is 18lb.
