You can just bend the arm with a couple pairs of pliers so it does not hit on the return stroke.

I just bought the Grams follower/spring for Sig P320 X5 17 round mag with +5 TTI baseplate. I am getting less than 22 rounds with this setup. What is wrong? Why am I getting led rounds?
I called Grams and they had me check some things but nothing came about it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Seems like others with this setup are getting 23 rounds.
I had the same problem.
I think that it has something to do with the magazine extensions. I think that the follower is getting caught up in it.
On a second note ,the 17 round magazines with the TTI 5-6 round extensions did not fit in the 140.1 mm magazine gauge.
The 22 round magazines with the 1-2 round extensions did fit.

Thank you guys.

I have been looking for a fiber optic front sight and found a picture of one.
Anyone have a suggestion who makes it??

I guess the silence speaks.

I was looking to see if anyone has some feedback on their autodrive system.
It looks pretty simple except for having to machine a part of the press.
Very compact looking setup.

Thank you for your response in advance.

Not sure on the RCBS dies but,the Dillon dies seater plug can be flipped over for a different shape bullets.

I just bought a box of them from McMaster Carr. They are a touch long ,but I will grind them at the shop tomorrow morning. I will probably due 10 sets.

I got a 1000 bullets to try at one point. 124 grain fmj.
When I looked at them some jackets were only part way filled with lead. When i measured them they were .354 .
I gave the away telling the recipient the the bullets were small in diameter.

I have had trouble with static electric charge before.
It was causing erratic powder charges.
Some charges would be good others would be light.
I started to use a dryer sheet on the powder measurer.
Problems have subsided for the most part.
Some people are using the Dram Worx powder hopper and report no static problems.

Do you have the spacer washer under the shell plate?

I ended up buying a new RL1100 at a local gun shop so I will see how it fits on the bench.
I will report back when I'm done with the reloading room remodel.

I guess I will have to get rid of the shelves behind the presses.
That will make my wife happy. She says they look messy

I have my 650 on a bench with shelves above it.
The bench is only 24" deep.
I made a bracket to mount the 650 hanging over the edge of the bench to clear the shelves.
-
I am thinking about a Dillon RL1100.
I have looked all over and can not find how deep of a bench is needed.
I have found how tall they are but not how far out from the wall they need to be mounted.
Any help with this would be great.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I am using the small pistol plate and running it on the low setting.
The casings are piling up in the funnel.
After I put the card stock in the funnel it has stopped happening.
I will try the plastic because it looks like a better solution than the card stock.
-
Thank you for the tip. Looks like it is just double sided tape holding it to the case feeder.
-
Maybe you can see the metal behind the funnel that is part of the wear protection under the shell plate.

I put a piece of card stock to help with the 9mm brass getting stuck sideways in the funnel.
All it does is take up some of the space in the funnel and keeps it from tipping sideways.

I would buy a printed spacer if I could find one.
I loaded about 750 rounds yesterday without a brass shower.
Going to be starting on a 1000 rounds tonight. I will report back tomorrow morning.

I put a piece of card stock in the funnel to take up some of the space and have not had the brass shower since.
I wonder if anyone is making a printed funnel space for the Dillon case feeder?

I'm seeing the same thing. It's been happening more often lately.
I don't recall it happening that frequently when the feeder was new.
I was thinking about the same thing. I don't recall it happening when my 650 was newer.

I have been having intermittent trouble with shell casings piling up in the funnel on the case feeder.
The case feeder is on the Dillon mount as well as mounted to a shelf behind it. It is very stable. It doesn't shake at all.
Not too sure if this is a common problem.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to correct the problem. I don't like getting a brass shower.

I’m a bit frustrated with the Dillon 1500 trimmer. No matter what speed I drive the tool head or how many passes I make, the carbide cutter produces a long strand of brass that wraps around the cutter spindle and clogs up the mechanism. I can’t trim more than two pieces without pulling a rats nest of thread from the cutter. After talking with Dillon I re-indexed the carbide cutter to try another cutting service - no joy.
Is there another style of carbide insert with chipbreaker grind?
I want to resize and trim 223 brass down to 300blk in ONE pass. I don’t wanna fart around with chopsaw’s and multiple tool heads.
Are you using the vacuum attachment to clean the cuttings out.
I have had to clean the cuttings out once and a while.
I use a clear piece of tubing between the vacuum head and the vacuum hose to see the cuttings go by.
I have never had stuff pile up in the case like that.
Double charge? Or fired out of battery?

Looks like a double charge to me. Maybe a triple charge.
