Laxman2809 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Looking for some recommendations on which to buy. Lots of options out there. Got my 1050 with a forcht used and its seen better days. I think it might have some flex on it as well. Looking primarily at the FFB and the TNT?

So... What's that tell you? They thought they could do better? I kid!!!!!, I kid... BTW I bought a few of yours and am super happy with the quality. Thanks for making great products!

Laxman2809 Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) I already own many of your products, I think I'll go with what works. Are they 1 for 1 copies? Edited September 23, 2018 by Laxman2809 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

echotango Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 (edited) The FFB did nothing but jam when cases were going in. Tolerances were too tight. Back to the Dillon plate and 10k rounds later, not one jam. Edited October 4, 2018 by echotango Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The owner actually commented on this speaking about how the TNT plate was a copy of theirs. I already have many FFB parts and went with what I knew. I like it, its noticeably hight quality.

I am sorry to hear you had issues. Yes, even spoke with the guy who did the machining. Said he was going to send me another and never got it or heard from him again. Glad it is working for you.

I'm not running an autodrive on mine but I still smash the occasional case mouth against the decapping pin or the swage hold down rod.Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want2BS8ed Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 The FFB did nothing but jam when cases were going in. Tolerances were too tight. Back to the Dillon plate and 10k rounds later, not one jam. I had problems with mine when I first got it. It seems somewhat counter intuitive but they don't get tightened down as tight as the OEM plate. Following FFB's instructions and using a feeler gauge, I haven't had a failure to feed since (25k+ rounds).I own 3 now and the tighter tolerances have reduced case wobble for me. Can't speak to the other brand because I haven't used one.MSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
