ak47traxx Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 How often do these need to be changed? I think mine is getting a little worn out and is it covered under the lifetime warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 If you mean p/n 13845 from the powder measure then yes I have had one go bad on me and yes it is covered. Mine went bad after about 200,000 rounds, it had gotten loose and was causing the powder drops to vary too much (by as much as .3 gr. of Titegroup). That is not a good thing when you are already using max loads of powder. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njl Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 I have an older style powder measure I bought second hand. It's collar sleeve (part 13845) has come loose and if it's not sitting on the powder die, the sleeve frequently falls out. How does that affect powder drop consistency...and should I contact Dillon to request a replacement sleeve? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Too_Slow Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 Well if the measure continues to just go straight up and down it shouldn't but with mine it was tipping back and forth causing a change in the amount thrown. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafab Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if I could use the press without the delrin collar sleeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Not all connector body collars used sleeves. The early ones were not machined for them. If your connector body collar has a gap between the outside of the pressed-in steel drop tube and the inside of the connector body collar, then you need a sleeve. If you see a white ring around the steel drop tube then the sleeve is in place.The measure will still function without one, but you will experience wider variations in powder charge weight. Just phone or email us and request one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
