    Win.WLP primers

    in 44/45 Caliber

    The Winchester primers will give you a little more velocity that a Federal or a Remington. As long as your load is not a miximum load developed with another brand primer you are good to go. I did some chrono testing about a year ago using different primers. If I can find it I will post it here.

    Dillon overhaul servise

    Dillon signed for for my SDB on November 28th. They shipped it back on December 15th. It arrived today. This puppy is brand new in every way I am amazed at the things they don't charge for. It was my intention to sell it when I got it back because I already have 3 other Dillon presses with a new 550 on the way but now I am not sure.

    Thanks Dillon

    CV-500 problem. No joy from Dillon

    To make a long story short, I purchased a CV-500. Within the warranty period the motor died and in typical Dillon fashion they gave me an RMA and replaced the motor under warranty. I didn't use it for about 3 months after they returned it to me. (I clean and load in large qtys). When I opened it up and tried to use it for the first time it didn't seem to aggitate the media as aggressively as it once did. I called Dillon and the customer service rep was quite polite and told me that the tumbler was working properly and I just needed to tumble my brass longer to get it clean. I tried to make the point that I was pretty confident that it wasn't working properly. The customer service rep told me there was nothing else he could do. Fast forward to yesterday, I put 250 rounds of 45ACP brass into the tumbler let it run for 12 hours and it was difficult to tell the clean brass from the dirty. So my question is should I just junk this thing and buy another brand or try Dillon customer service again. I don't want to be a jerk about it but I honestly believe this new motor is defective. You can actually hear the motor surge and then get very quiet. I am a blue koolaid drinker 2 sdb's 1 650 and an SL-900 plus all the accessories to go with them. I hate the thought of non Dillon equipment on my bench but I need a tumbler. Any advice will be appreciated.

    NEed some help. Either I am missing something big or the newer 650's have a different bracket and cup. Mine is blue plastic and not shaped like the black metal part. Anyone else run into this and find a fix?

    45junkie,

    The cup that catches the spent primers should be blue plastic. The metal bracket that holds the spent primer cup should be black and it should be screwed to the underside of the platform as shown in figure #3 of my original post. What holds your blue cup in place? Unless Dillon has made some major changes in design that I haven't seen yet it should be the black metal bracket with 2 screws.

    It is a blue plastic bracket that looks nothing like yours. I believe they have changed the cup also. I will try and post some pics for you. Maybe Gary can chime in here and add some clairity.

    Old School here

    I like my balance beam scale. I tried the digital thing, but just did not trust it enough to bet my safety on it.

    I zero it with the tray on the scale, then I KNOW it is right!!!!!

    those wood clubs are the cat's meow too! :lol:

    That's very funny I wish I would have said that, :cheers:

    But you're not alone I like my balance beam scale too. :rolleyes:
