Search this channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUW9kh5Esok&t=429s.  He has a couple of set up videos.  I think you could have any questions answered with a facetime.

I’m starting to get a little pi**ed off as I’m missing a case feeder pole and a mounting plate (international unit).  Not sure why Misty is having problems finding my unit (??) but the fact I had to load 1100 rounds on my 650 is getting tiresome.  And my revo pro is sitting right next to my 650.....

They don’t have the best quality control. When I ordered my first Revo, they sent me the big case feeder when I paid for the small one. I did the right thing and told them.. They also forgot to send me a powder measure in that order. Second Revo went better. 

 

They need someone to initial the purchase order when they pack and maybe have someone do a second review. 

 

They will set it straight.

I figured out Friday I have decap sense installed but I didn’t order it.  Did anyone get primer sense installed from factory?  That was my first stab at my putting my machine together - by taking it apart lol.  I discovered a week before I had the wrong case feed tube and the initial shipment of missing parts had the wrong pole setup for the bulletfeeder pro.

Just got my amazon order of red’n’tacky, starett oil,  grease gun and syringe.

 

I preprocess my brass so decap sense isn’t needed.

@MikeyScuba what syringe did you order? I got 3 off Amazon but they won't reach through the core to get to the crank grease point unless I remove the grease zerk from the swage cam. I have a gen 1 core without the oval access hole in it, mine is just round and lines up directly to the pin that needs greasing. The newer cores have an oval hole and allows the syringe easier access

are you using moly grease on that swage zerk or red and tacky?

So far  so good I am coming  from a manual 1050 with Dillion dies so having the  adjustability is  amazing  for me.

 

  •  I love having  the micrometer's on the dies
  • the machined texture provides  excellent grip for adjustments  
  • plenty of  space for a proper snap on box end wrench for tightening the lock rings 
  • setup instructions  for the dies were clear with good detail for there adjustment settings
  • they look even more impressive then the press itself

Can anyone tell me the purpose of the 3D printed part  and that  sprung  clamp for the cases feeder?  I’m not sure it’s  function is other then create clogs and jams 😂 I’m guessing I have is setup wrong. I’m guessing they are still working on the instructions manual 😳

 

I was attempting to load some shell shock cases with 50 percent of the cases coming down the feeder upside down I removed

the 3D printed part when loading brass as it was constantly jamming and flipping off the case feeder. I tossed it back in for the shell shocks with the same results. I’m on My last bag of those cases. I now pick them up with a magnet and throw them straight in the trash.  😳
 

I would avoid using these cases with these dies after about 2 hours of loading I managed to load 150 rounds and it appear it chewed through a new Lyman pro series die

Hello no more jam problem since I adjusted this little aluminum part.
and in 9mm the cases would turn over by tapping the plastic rim of the funnel, a simple piece of paper inside the funnel, no more cases being turned upside down in the feed tube.
The funnel is too short for 9mm.

I adjusted the spring flipper and still in the  case you are using the shell shocks cases they still tend to flip with the mouth facing down : (  I like the idea of your funnel extender I think I am going to have a 3d part designed to improve this

 

here is a quick video of  my experience
