  1. Thank you. Good to hear Umberto is still making them.
  2. Anyone know if Umberto is still making them? His email bounced.
  3. This is exactly the problem. Lee does not make a dedicated 9mm shell holder like other manufacturers.
  4. It seems only Dillon is having problems getting their carbide ring inserts for 9mm dies. Redding Ti carbide 9mm dies are easy to find and IMHO, better quality than Dillon. I have Dillon dies that came with my Dillon presses (RL1050/1100), but I still choose to use Redding pro series dies.
  5. From the video, it was hard to tell if there is a step like a "M-die"
  6. The answer is yes and no. All current production titanium carbide pistol dies are "NxGen." NxGen sizing dies have a longer titanium carbide ring/insert than the non, "NxGen" dies. The exception being the 9mm sizing die. The titanium carbide die ring/insert is the same length so there is no reason to buy the "NxGen" sizing die.
  7. Adjust this linkage where it is shorter. This will ensure the brass case gets pushed out and ejected. Also, any chance you're trying to decap Norma 9mm brass? Those will have a very small flash hole and will cause issues.
  8. I had the same problem when I first got mine. The adjustment was off. The link the pushes/slides the brass case (horizontally)in was not adjusted properly. Remove one end and make that link shorter and see how that works.
  9. That is a great video. Thank you. I'm going to do this on my presses.
  10. One more area of improvement. The aluminum hose adapter which attaches to the Dillon case feeder does not have enough bevel on the inside. I will get 9mm cases getting stuck due to having a 1/8" ledge.
  11. Mine looks like the one you describe. 90* is bent (not welded) and the horizontal piece with a slot cut out is not flat at all like the pic of the earlier revision in the video. I ended up using a small cut piece of silicone cooking sheet to keep it from moving around. This was my temporary workaound until I can fix it myself. Drop tube bracket on the commercial rollsizer is very poorly made. The fix will be to cut it off and weld a flat piece of steel on it. While I love my rollsizer, there are areas which are done very poorly for an $1800+ part. 1. Angle bracket for legs suck. Flimsy metal and looks like crap. 2. Drop tube bracket 3. Angled chute for brass. Why is the welded seam on the bottom? It would make more sense to put the seam on the top. 4. Square tubing for case feeder location. Why was it not located where the brass could drop straight down? 5. Welds looks like crap. You can't find any good welders down there? The way it should have been built was done my ltdmster.
  12. I hope someone can figure this out and decides to sell them. I really need one.
  13. I'm on the fence on this too. I don't see a real benefit of having the extra threaded station or even a 10 station head if you're doing to do a 2 step loading process. step 1. size/prime step 2. expand, powder drop, seat, and crimp A hold down for priming station is really all I need.
  14. What is the headstamp of the brass? I had some stuck cases when I tried to size stepped cases. Now, I'm more careful and make sure those stepped cases go into the recycle bin. If you don't already have one.. Get something like this. https://www.scheels.com/p/rcbs-stuck-case-remover/07668309340.html?msclkid=77bd8e882b161cdde0e9eabf44d8c5fd
  15. Any update to this? I hope you can figure it out and start selling them...
  16. It is supposed to cut the primer pocket perfectly (width/depth). The swager just swages and get it close, but no adjustment for depth or width. I do not have it yet, but will certainly put it on my future buy list.
  17. Immortal Arms has the VP primer pocket reamer for the 1050/1100. I doubt Dillon will release anything like this. Sad to say, but feels like Dillon is not doing much innovation these days while the competition (Mark 7, Frankford Arsenal) is spending money on R&D and release new products. https://immortobot.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=72
  18. I use Redding dies too. Great dies and does not undersize excessively. Might consider buying the Redding Pro die set. You'll get the Pro seating die (better than regular seating die) and crimp die for a little more than the sizer alone. https://www.accuratearmsandammo.com/product.sc?productId=1241&categoryId=338 If you're concerned about the extra force required to resize 9mm cases, you might consider using lube or rollsizing the cases. Rollsizing make a noticeable difference and will reduce the amount of cases that will not gauge.
  19. I don't see any benefit in having to modify the frame and immediately voiding the warranty. I'd rather go with proven options for automating a Dillon.
  20. Hillman 881395 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hillman-1-4-in-E-Clip-10-Pack-881395/204726250 https://www.mcmaster.com/97431A300/
  21. Better option is from Immortal arms. It will fit RL1050, super 1050, and 1100. Also is larger in size. https://immortobot.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_45&products_id=426&zenid=kvlomlddkmbc086fgtbaf4ql81
  22. I use this endoscope. Stand it up in the small akro bin and mount the camera so it points down on bullet feeder station. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08VDZBT65/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
