kimberacp Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I had to chuck it in a drill and use a lapping plate to reduce the diameter for it to fit in the shellplate question? do you mean toolhead? "reduce the diameter for it to fit in the ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatPuppet Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Oops... Toolhead. It was just a hair too tight. I tapped it a few times with a wood handle and couldn't get it to seat. Took it out an spun it in a drill while holding a 1000 grit lapping plate against it. Went right in with 2 taps of a wood handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog_99 Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 It works with a swage backup rod. I am curious what a contained primer detonation could do. How do the other presses (Ammoload, Camdex) mentioned handle this? The two primer detonations I've had on a 1050 (early in my 1050 experience) were both in sealed pockets. Each due to a primer having not been ejected off of the decapping pin and then being swaged into the primer pocket. Obviously not enough room in the primer pocket for two primers so boom. Luckily each was only a single primer detonation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 The die works very well, definitely improves the primer seating consistency, especially with a power drive. Very recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bamabound Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 How do you check primer seating depth? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Just eyeball plus finger. Plus with the hold down die the primer has clearly defined ring, left by the plunger, so I will move it back a hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatPuppet Posted May 25, 2016 Author Share Posted May 25, 2016 If you have a caliper for measuring OAL and Crimp, you should have a little metal bit that pokes out the end. You can measure primer depth with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatPuppet Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Now I know.... With the die inserted, it just goes "pow!" Thats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
