I took a hair tie from my woman and wrapped it around the cam wire bracket and the lower spring post of the powder measure. Put in on there 5 years ago and havent had a problem since.

NicoR Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 With two of my friends, we've loaded over 50.000 rounds of 9mm using .356 and even .357 plated bullets with Hornady's Seat + Crimp dies. We've never had a single problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noylj Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 You have the ONLY progressive press that puts the charged case under your NOSE for ease of inspection, but you decided that you needed a bullet feeder so you can't look in the case. You could put a camera looking down into the charged case before the bullet gets placed on it. Is there a bluetooth camera that could feed live pictures from station 3 to your computer/smart phone? Personally, I wouldn't think a bullet feeder is necessarily a great idea for a new reloader and the idea of putting speed before safety, as so many do, scares me.

We've never had a single problem! I actually tried that recently. I was getting a ring around the nose of my Berry's bullets after the seating/crimping. I've read on forums that that's a cosmetic issue only, but it sure doesn't look right when I'm used to not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try Inline Fabrication's lighting system to get a better view inside the charged case. I haven't gotten my bullet feeder to work reliably anyway, so that's another reason to remove it from the system. It sure does move things along when it works though.
