Other than your pistol being on the wrong side, the AR mag facing the wrong way, and the shot gun ammo too close together - it looks grrreat!!!

Thanks, Denise. Found it
RIFLE: 182
PISTOL: 157
SHOTGUN BIRDSHOT: 110
SHOTGUN BUCKSHOT: 10
SHOTGUN SLUG: 4
So we need:
500 rifle
300 pistol
160 bird
20 buck
10 slugs
to cover brain farts, re-shoots. etc.

In 2012 I was at Dillon & told them my 9mm cases were piling up in the funnel on my 550 casefeeder. They gave me the black funnel.
-
In my opinion it depends on how much you currently load, and if you need to greatly increase that number. I thought about a 650, but only load 6000-8000 rds/year of 9mm and 2000-3000 of 223. My 550 easily does that.
-
Just because it's different doesn't mean you can't make it work. They said you couldn't load 223 on a 550 with a casefeeeder, but many do.
-
Looks good. The door, as drawn, on stage 4 (if it must be pulled open to operate a mover) does not appear to be left-hand shooter friendly.

... I don't want to get into a pissing match so I'm not going to mention what brand it is...
No names required, but was it Red or Green?
-
if it were me and it was for USPSA I'd buy the CGW pro package Shadow ($1375) and then send it to CZC for an accu bushing upgrade so it'll basically be an accu shadow with the nice CGW sear and disco in it.
Second option would be a CZC or mink accu-shadow.
If it were for USPSA Production Division, would adding the accu bushing be an allowable modification? It's my understanding that you can buy an AccuShadow for Prod Div, but not create from from an existing Shadow.

In case there is still any doubt - Dillon definitely uses FedEx - I saw the truck at the loading door on Monday.

You'll get dozens of recommendations on 'what's the best out of the box'........most will recommend what they personally use, so I'll start:
Beretta 1301. They nay-sayers will say....but, but, but you have to add a tube extension.
Next!

The 550 with casefeeder can be easily adapted to load .223
Small rifle plate in the collator
White .223 adapter (or dremel out a green 9mm adapter)
38SuperComp guide in Station #1
Because I didn't want to mess with cam adjustments, I lube/deprime/resize on single stage press, so I only use Station #1 to prime.
Change-over from 9mm to .223 only takes a matter or minutes.

My quad loads result in 3 on the ground. I'll stick to deuces.
-
I did. My wife won't give me the $10 for the weekly match anymore so I have to cover it myself.
-
I'm in!
See you in 5 weeks.
-
Well, apparently they are admitting people from the waiting list... I've been offered a slot!
Where were you on the list?
-
GM.
If you truly have 'natural talent' no practice is required.....or maybe a definition of natural talent is required.

The residual solvents in the powder will eventually discolor and darken the hopper tube. Some powders, notably double-based handgun powders, do this faster.
It's not discolored - it's colored - green(ish) As long as I can see the powder level it's good.
-
What's the point in draining it if you're only going to refill it with the same powder?
-
STI has a new Open gun.
and new Limited gun
-
Dillon has a small black plastic funnel to fit inside the upper funnel. They gave me one when I complained about my 9mm brass clogging up the funnel.
-
Do the totals in the report take into account a person could be a GM or M (or A/B/C/D) in more than one division?
-
Just go to the Rio Salado website & look at the calendar for any month.

I just downloaded the Jan 2014 Handgun Rules to my Android phone with no issues.

I've been thinking about why Dillon does not offer a .380 conversion for the feeder. Seems to me the lower section, plunger, ramp, ect, is simple. It must be the upper section. The short, light cases may not orient reliably out of the bowl.
Sure would help me if they would get something. I have two 550's with case feeders for 9mm. The only way for me to do 380 ( without a third 550) is to resize and prime on a single stage press and hand feed into the powder station on my 550 .380 tool head. It works, but it would be fun to use the whole system.
I would be willing to hand load tubes if Dillon would offer the conversion parts for the lower end.Wouldn't the lower end for 9mm work to push .380 cases into station #1?
I'm guessing the cases would/could turn in the tube as they dropped. My 9mm cases used to do this before Dillon sent me the aluminum sleeve for the upper tube.
