tanks Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I have both, an automated CasePro and a Rollsizer. I ordered the Rollsizer two weeks after I had the CasePro. i just got tired of drilling out the plastic shear screws, Also, I am running the Rollsizer at the pace of 4K plus, the CasePro is back in the crate it came in waiting for someone that wants a greatly discounted unit and one who doesn’t mind replacing the shear screws every few thousand cases or so.

I have one unit upgraded on the older style and one upgraded on the new style. I think the old style works better IMO. At least for 9mm and 40.

anbrumm Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I always looked at the casepro, but the rollsizer has peaked my interest recently. Sadly I don't go through enough brass to make it worth the cost to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nylon screws are wear item, and there is no need to drill them out, just buy a bag of 100pcs for a few bucks, and change them as soon as you notice slight distortion to the head shape. In those very few cases when they lost their heads, I used diagonal cutters to unscrew the stem - comes out very easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I roll everything, process it on my 650 with a mighty armory decapping die, a dillon resizing die, and a redding re-sizing die, brass then gets wet tumbled cleaning the primer pockets. I then convert the 650 over for loading (now have an Evo Pro I'm setting up). I do not separate any of my headstamps. My target OAL is 1.13", I typically see 1.27" to 1.33". Edit: meant to write 1.127" to 1.133" So the mighty armory is universal decaper. Then Dillon an Redding?

Foxbat Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 In my case, using my variable speed power drive the limiting factor is not the Case pro, it is the case feeder. And yes, it is mounted to a totally separate base, to a wall, really, but still trying to run it constantly at its high speed you get too many stoppages. The machine itself I have comfortably ran at 3,600, but the case feeder always falls behind. I replaced the older feeder with the brand new, current one, and it is better, but still not as reliable as I would need. I don't know how the rollsizes handles the wrong brass. A .40 case in the stream of 9mm will stop the Case pro, and a .380 case might jam it. The upside-down cases are usually not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximis228 Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 It will stop feeding if the stem isnt the correct height for the brass. This is why sorting is huge for either unit. Upgrade the motors and do some tinkering with flange in the unit and a AT500 funnel from Dillon (tested with 10K of 9mm so far). The funnel fixes log jams and the flange can fixed the issue of brass that doesn't drop fast enough and hits the left side of the opening and locks up the unit (or goes under the case feed plate or just shoots out randomly).

Foxbat Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Thank you for the advice! I believe the funnel you mean is the Dillon part Stock Number: 16617, I might try it. As far as the Forcht motor upgrade - I was not able to find it on their site, perhaps you would have a link? If it is just a faster and more powerful motor, then I can do that with some small 3Ph motors that I have, but I would like to see what they offer.

Forcht sells it via ImmortoBot - But I just checked their website and it seems it was taken down. Super weird. I think its just double the speed. That is it. Comes with a little control bot to adjust 0-100 for rate of the unit. . Extreme reloading sells one too - https://www.extremereloadingnv.com/product/dillon-casefeeder-motor-upgrade-2/ I have only used the Forcht one so I cant say how well the extreme reloading one works. Maybe email Forcht directly and see. Edited December 14, 2018 by Maximis228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxbat Posted December 14, 2018 Share Posted December 14, 2018 Not a problem at all, I can easily build one myself, I have some beautiful Oriental Motors units with 1/4" shafts and speed controllers. I actually bought them for just that project years ago, but considering the casefeeder jamming issues, I never did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, in my case they head sheared straight off so there was nothing to grab them. CasePro's solution was to use a soldering iron to heat the screw enough for a screwdriver to sink in and turn. Using EasyNOut and drilling them out was simpler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasePro's solution was to use a soldering iron to heat the screw enough for a screwdriver to sink in and turn. Using EasyNOut and drilling them out was simpler. I understand, and that is what I am talking about too. When it sheers off completely, take the good small diagonal cutter, spread its ends about 4-5mm, and press them lightly into the screw - you can easily pull it out that way - done many times. There is no tension on the screw once its head is lost. After one turn you use your fingers. This, if you are talking about the screw on the slider. If you mean the screw in the drive arm - then I don't have it in my drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe email Forcht directly and see. We are releasing our own casefeeder upgrade kit. It is a "drop in" requiring no modification of the bowl area or the face plates. The motor bolts in using the screws that currently hold the Dillon motor. It uses the existing switch and has a speed control dial. It will require the slot modification of the hole in the side of the feeder body that the current power cord exits from (to accommodate the DC power jack). The switch provides two settings now, forward and reverse, so backing out any jams between a case and the bowl takes less than a second to clear..just reach up, flip the switch to clear then flip back to run. It will keep up with the Rollsizer on both pistol and rifle and will handle substantially more cases in the bowl. We are finishing up an auto "jam" sensor that will reverse the direction to clear a jam and then run it normally again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
