I wonder if a groove around the main bolt may help keep it in
-
I do wish they had other sound options its a bit harsh and it comes too fast. I had one die 5 years ago. I ended up buying one. I always forget how good dillon is to us. I bought a new tumbler too not thinking of this.

Nice

The upstroke should not be jumpy. You may need to adjust
-
Make sure the hole that rod goes in is clean(blow some compressed air, or use a straight pick. the wire rides up over time and starts causing this issue.
-
It comes down to what are you loading for. I dont think a few thousandths in length matter for anything. a couple hundreths make a much bigger difference. If you are shooting steel then I doubt a tenth would throw you off too bad. Perfect is always better but if you get good results with what you have then you can spend the time shooting rather than sorting headstamps.
I would make sure your shellplate is properly tightened.
Dont measure stuff that comes off an unfilled shellplate(shoot these in practice only)
I do not like microadjusts. I get very inconsistent results pick up a static seating die.

he has close to 60k through it and I have about the same combined through 3 of them. I think its an extreme rarity and I dont think its exclusive to Sig.
Get her an Oracle later this year.
I like the shadow 2 alot but sold mine last Friday I didnt like making special short rounds for it. and never got around to getting it throated. I needed to free up some fun cash for a 1301. I ordered that the same day and ended up getting the calll yesterday they cant ship to NJ

Ive seen it once,my friends blew the extractor out the side. Sig warrantied. Has not happened to me. The direction of damage seems to be out the extractor side exclusively. So it is directed away still scary though.
-
The index arm appears to be bent. That may be causing undue wear. I could be wrong. I went 15-20k before I swapped my first spring there. Dillon replaced both via warranty

Can you 3d print?
1080 endocopes are all over the place on amazon. Ideally a 3d printed adapter will fill the hole but you can just wrap with tape till it fits securely

Are you collapsing the shoulder when you neck size?
I would chamber check after you trim, if the case passes the gauge, then neck size the same case and repeat
that way you’ll know at which step you’re having problems
on my dedicated trim tool head setup
station 1, small base resizing die
station 3, Dillon RT1500 with the Dillon trim die
i hate universal decapping dies, if I’m running brass thru my press to deprime, I’m going to resize it at the same time.
my last batch of 223 prep I was on a 650 I through the universal in stage 1 and full length sized stage 2, trimmed stage 4. The batch prior to that I did not have the universal on. It worked fine but I figured if I can take a little off that and even the plate a little I should try. I found I had less primer grabs because Mighty armory was using a smaller pin not that that should of decided anything because I also added MA size die.
I never quite understood why the trim die needed to do any sizing, I would think hold everything snug and take your brass and move on.

I havent done anything with the slide yet. I will probably put it on an FCU and txg grip next range day.

Polishing the funnel helps as well. and if you are loading necked cases use a Lanolin based lube. One shot is great on pistol but not as good on rifle

As a note about brass juice...
While I love it and won't be switching, it leaves terrible water spots if I use a brass dryer (my water is also not great, fwiw). I know some of the lemishine type things help to prevent this. I just solved the problem by drying them in the sun, which is easier and cheaper anyway.
Havent had these issues with the Juice. Im on softened water though so that probably is the problem. I use dehydrators for drying

Is this what you purchased? https://grayguns.com/product/lockwood-p320-slide-4-7-bull-barrel/
Yes thats the one
-
I dont mind having slightly tacky ammo for 223 and pistol. At one point I did run them after but all I had was walnut and lots of it at the time so they came out extremely dull
-
Pistol rounds? I get rings and specs after trimming. Mostly come off on chamfer/deburr
-
Are you getting good decaps? Im not on the 1100 too long but the only thing I came across that stopped indexing was partial decap. Ive read about others having issues but dont quite recall what they were caused by
-
The system for casefeeder on 550 will be in the way of manually feeding so you may have to remove drop tube and the assembly on the press but the case feeder itself can stay
-
You will be fine unless your shooting benchrest. If your extremely patient you can sort them for batches but its not all worth it if you're shooting steel at 100 yds or 300 for that matter.

It’s made specifically to have an optic.
I know, but I have a bunch of optic guns already. I may end up going that route I did talk with a friend that has a cnc shop he said he'd model it and run it for me.
-
there was another one out there too that I ended up using with 3 spring options. still not as easy as full length 1911 springs
-
So it may be cheaper to just put an optic on it then

There are a couple available in beed blasted for anyone waiting for one, I just grabbed one. I have a couple questions about them.
1)What is the bead blasted finish? is it meant to look bead blasted and covered with something or is it just raw? If its raw I can just cerekote it
2) I would like to keep this gun Irons, well Fiber. Can anyone recommend and rmr cover plat that has rear irons on it?

Note that they dont drop right in older Mr bulletfeeders. You have to cut off a little from 1 side of that spot its not much and took about 15 seconds. It also doesnt fit with original mounting system I had to cut off 1/2 of one of the rods. again 15 seconds.
The DAA seemed to work out great I havent done a swap with it yet though
