Looks for Range

Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. LOL. Ok that is the right stuff. I thought maybe you were using something like this:
  2. I have not seen one shot case lube in a pump bottle. It is usually in an aerosol can. Are you using Hornady One Shot Case Lube, or one of Hornady's other One Shot branded cleaners/lubes? I use the one shot case lube in a similar fashion as you, and I have seen a lot of people using it the same way as well.
  3. If you have a 3d printer, or know someone that does, you can find the files to build one. Here is a vid of one in action:
  4. Interested in seeing some pics and hearing some reviews when you guys start getting yours.
  5. Does their tool head include a shell plate and indexing modification to support an additional station? I have been leaning towards getting the Mark 7 because I want powder check, bullet drop and separate seat and crimp. If the Dillon supported this it would be a pretty easy decision.
  6. Nice. I thought maybe you guys were showcasing a new offering from HK. They look like fun.
  7. Is HK offering a SBR SP5 or were these conversions?
  8. You would probably need to process your brass first to free up a station, but the RCBS lock out die will stop you from advancing if your powder charge is +/- .3 gr of what you adjusted it for. I have never tested its claimed accuracy, but it will definitely detect a no charge or double charge of a target 3 gr.
  9. Is the aluminum end on the spring going into the case feeder held in with a set screw or just friction?
  10. I have had great luck with the Chips. Couple buddies love their Tripp Research (arguably the best in their opinion).
  11. Have you seen the video on this thread? https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/285018-red-lnl-ap-vs-blue-xl750/ Here is my $.02. Short Version: I have the Hornady LNL. I have never used a Dillon. If I was going to stick to a strict $600 or less budget I would get the LNL every time. If I was willing to spend a little more I might would consider the 750. Long Version to support the short above. You might only be shooting 600 rounds a month now and you might be ok with basic and simple to start with. But, you have already said if you end up $1500 into it eventually then so be it. I assume this means you want the flexibility for the system to grow. I think you need a bare minimum of at least 5 stations on the press to grow without giving up too much. I think the LNL and the 750 are the same class of machine, but you can get the LNL for cheaper than the 550. The 550 only has 4 stations as well, so really it would be between the LNL and the 750 for me. When I first setup my LNL, I manually fed cases and bullets and visually checked powder. I have since added a case feeder, powder check die, and I 3d printed a bullet feeder. With 5 stations I have 1 de-cap and size, 2 prime, expand/bell and powder, 3 powder check, 4 bullet drop, 5 seat and crimp. This allows me to load at a pretty good pace safely. Once I got the timing and indexing dialed in, it has been solid. If you have spent some time on the forums, all presses are going to take some time to dial in...even the $3K Mark 7. To switch over to load another caliber is about as fast and easy as it gets. The LNL has been a solid press for me. But, I cannot deny the following Dillon has. Dillon is the defacto standard. The after market for Dillon is much better. The user base is much bigger. If I were in the market again, and was willing to spend a little more, I would give the 750 a serious consideration, but I could not tell you that is because I think the 750 is that much better or because I just want to taste the Dillon kool aid!
  12. I have the Blackdog ones from TandemKross. The holster fits the Mark IV Lite with Holosun 507C and the Gamechanger pro comp great. I did put the tandemkross *thumb rest [generic]* (thumb rest) on my son's Mark IV so I did have to mod the holster to accommodate that.
  13. Is the new primer system up on their website? I tried to find it on the site but did not see it.
  14. Southern shine media is the company that sells the SS chips on Facebook. I just bought some and have used them once so far on some 6.5 creedmore brass. I am really happy with the results. I was using the pins that came with the franklin armory tumbler. With the 6.5 brass I had issues with some pins getting lodged in the neck. Some of the pins I guess are a little shorter and somehow get wedged into the primer pocket. With chips I did not have any issues, and I think they may have even cleaned a little better.
