Dons1911 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 A couple nights ago while loading up some 45acp for an upcoming class I had the little spring clip on top of the sizing/depriming die break. I 'borrowed' one from my 9mm toolhead to get though this session. I have emailed Dillon for info on the part as I cannot find it on their website. My question is mainly what do you think caused this? Is it a standard wear and tear issue, as I load about 500 rounds a month. Or am I doing something wrong, have something set wrong to accelerate said wear and tear? Only been in the reloading game a couple of years, but I have never heard of this happening nor has anybody in my IDPA club. Thanks for any help!

Nugget Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 It's a c clip. You can get them at ace hardware. You are not doing anything wrong they just wear out and break. Buy a few. Cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 E-clip, actually. A 1/4" E-clip is easy to find in the miscellaneous parts bins at Home Depot or Lowes in the bolt & nut aisle. They break eventually, nothing abnormal likely happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkreutz Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 (edited) Also, look in your die case, Dillon throws an extra in there. I called them and they sent me a bag full of them. I was going to keep track of how many rounds they break at but never did. I've replaced many of them though.
