Sometimes while testing different powders or powder charge weights, I'll load the pistol stuff on the Rockchucker. Saves tweaking on the 650 if it's just a small lot.

Clay1 Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 RL450 w/ 357, 44 mag, 22-250, 243, 7mm-08, 7mm mag. Mec 9000 G 12 gauge. I shoot blazers in 9mm and don't reload for it at all and that is what I am shooting in IDPA and USPSA. I loaded over 10,000 rounds through my Mec 9000 G in one season. After that I shot 22 rimfire silhouette so that I didn't have to reload or chase brass, then went to shooting a 17 hmr (no reloading) and now shoot blazers. Maybe time to buy a RL650??? because I really don't enjoy relaoding any longer but love to pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaissance7697 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 Wow ! I thought I might be over doing it, after I had just sent in my last order to BrianE. I can see now that I have a long way to go before running with the "Tall Dogs" When I set up the components I have coming; I will have 6 ToolHeads One each set up in: 9mm 45 acp 38 Spl Wadcutter 357Mag .40 S&W .357Sig I will have Three Powder Measures One dedicated to .45acp On dedicated to 9mm and One which I will swap between the other 4 toolheads. I have a "micrometer" powder adjustment knob which I intend to mount on the "roveing" Powder head. I hope that once I have it calibrated for various powders and weights; that it will make swapping the Measure more convenient by enabling me to just "dial in" the required powder adjustment after I swap to "roamer". Before moveing up to the 650, I had a RCBS PiggyBack with just ONE Powder measure with the RCBS Micrometer head on it. This worked real well for me in that I could "Dial in" a previously calibrated powder and charge with 99% reliability. I hope that the micrometer I got for the Dillon will be as dependable I have One "Powder checker". with three (1 Large and 2 Medium) rods & Sleeves. Again; One dedicated to my pet .45 acp load, one for the pet 9mm and the third; to follow the "Roving" Powder measure and being adjusted/calibrated when I set the micrometer knob on the roving Powder Measure.Every tool head has its own Powder Die for mounting the Powder checker and Actually that is what moved me to go to the 650: I wanted to be able to: Seat and Crimp separately, AND Powder Check! ( I had one "unfortunate Incident" which I am resolved not to repeat") *************************** FOR ICAMBRE" I noted that you have a "Roving" Powder measure as well. How do you Adjust the "Non Dedicated" powder measure as you switch it from tool head to toolhead ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhunter Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 For Zhunter:Dillon does NOT make one............but these people do! www.uniquetek.com Thanks, awesome. How do you think that would work with TiteGroup? I would think that different powders, being of different configurations, would need different calibrations. I can't imagine how it could accrurately predict the weight, as the powder measure is more of a "volume tool" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renaissance7697 Posted March 9, 2005 Author Share Posted March 9, 2005 For ZHunter. The micrometer; when integrated with the powder charge bar: should give a specific volume in the charge bar cavity for every setting of the micrometer head. You need to determine (for every powder you intend to use): What "weight" of that powder corresponds to a given "volume" of the charge bar (which in turn corresponds to a given setting of the micrometer head.) This is done by experimentation. Choose micrometer settings - throw powder - and weigh. Build a graph starting with given settings Interpolate between points and check again. DO NOT EXTRAPOLATE ! This system worked very well for me with my RCBS Uniflow Powder Measure with the RCBS Micrometer Adjustment screw. I am hoping it will do the same for me with the Dillon bar and the uniteck micrometer. I have not set it up yet, so I do not yet know if this is going to be as reliable for me as was my RCBS combination. Dillon IS AWESOME ! BUT RCBS DID do some things better.
