Free labor is why I convinced myself to purchase a case pro. I was a Lee bulge buster user before, but now all brass is sorted and rolled for me by small kid hands. 2 sons here and they like to shoot. So I pay them 5 bucks per 1k. Plus I bought them a dillon sdb press so they can load their 9mm. They love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanks Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I just received my automated Case Pro 100 last Tuesday. All set up, I have about 50K+ brass to roll size Well worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask your doctor when you get Labs drawn. I also make my kids wash their hands after helping reloading and do not let them eat while reloading.

Large pistol plate feeds 40 cal at over 6K/hr. ... How are you feeding 6K/hour using a case feeder? I have the Dillon case feeder and it can barely keep up with the 2K - 2.5K per hour rate of an automated Case Pro 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyScuba Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I’m going to need half a day to install the Forcht motor, it doesn’t look straight forward to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im pretty dumb and it took me about 45 mins. I didnt have the drill bits on hand needed so I used my largest one and then used a knife to hollow out the holes some more as needed to fit the controls.

Maximis228 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It certainly can be done more much cheaper. I know guys that did the same upgrade for $40 bucks. Im just dumber than your average bear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanks Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Details here, just add up the options: http://www.casepro100.com/desc.ydev?prod_id=33744 For a full automated machine you will want the full mounting kit, transfer clamp and bin bracket. It does not come with a case feeder. I had a spare one from a 650XL I am selling, so using it with the case pro now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cases get stuck and are really hard to remove from the die on the upstroke (Dillon XL650). I hate reloading with the u-die because of this. I have tried some One Shot lube, and that doesn't really help. A little Imperial sizing lube helped, but is obviously a pain in the butt to use for pistol cases and is not a practical solution. I found using the DIY lanolin and alcohol lube to be the best option. 1-4oz of the lanolin in 32oz of pure isopropyl alcohol. I vary the concentration to the task. Sizing rifle brass, 4oz. Pistol stuff 1-3oz. You do need to tumble finished ammo in dry media to remove any residue lube. It's cheap and works (at least for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tanks Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 No, I will sent it to them for upgrade once I have a few 5 gallon buckets of brass roll sized. It is supposed to double the speed, to be honest all I need is a 20% improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
