Did you switch them out on all of your tool heads? lol, we are worse than a bunch of chicks hanging out at the mall. “Oooh, did you see that purse? Where did she get it? I have to have one!” I can’t friggin believe how many “necessities” I’ve bought in the last couple of weeks just from these 3 threads we’ve all been hangin out in. Now that Johnny has shared that pic of his “purse”, I absolutely have to have one for each of my toolheads. Where did he say we could get them???

LVL 10 innovations sells one. I'm sure there are others also. I'm on the hunt for one also to replace the outdated guide on my S1050. Dillon made a rolling change to the guide a while back. Mine is the old style with 2 distinct angles instead of a singular sweeping curve. That ammobot one looks nice. Wish they still sold them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a heavier spring like the 1911 will only wear out parts faster. Your putting ,more stress on the case feed plunger. Theres no need for this unless you are running automated at full speed, like 2000 CPH. How many casefeed plungers and shoulder bolts/bushings have you worn out so far? Are spare plungers a thing to keep on hand?? Are you running an ammobot? I may be bugging you via PM if thats ok. Also good time to note that Ace Hardware carries the shoulder bolts found on dillon machines. So does Mcmaster Carr but its nice to be able and see them in person. Just thought I'd share for everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just speeds up the install process after a good cleaning . Ah that makes a lot more sense. For some reason I was thinking he used a scribe on the shellplate itself??haha. Thanks for the pic. I think I'll borrow this tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 In my decades of loading ammo/operating equipment. I have found that most upgrades. Really are solutions looking for a problem. They cause more issues than they fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I have added to my Ammobot press is the brass guide bushing, it helps keep the toolhead straight when your tightening the nut. Ive been reloading since 1989, LOL.

Sigarmsp226 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 (edited) Johnny - Not even sure what an Ammo-Bot case extractor is but thought I would share this info with you as the seller says this is a hard to find part?????? No affiliation with the seller - just saw Ammo-Bot and thought about you having two units…Mark https://www.gunbroker.com/item/910987748 Edited September 16, 2021 by Sigarmsp226 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnymazz Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Thats for the CP 2000. I had one and sold it. Comes in handy when sorting large and small primer brass, 45 acp or 10mm. THe unit was a $600.00 add on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnymazz Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Jason the owner of Ammobot is at Dillons headquarters now. Heres a sneak peak of their new control box. THe Dillon version should be out by next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking about trying the aftermarket shellplates. Do you run dillon ones on your ammobot? Other than spring adjustments and shell stabilizers I'd tend to agree with you in regard to the 550 and 1050s. 650/750 has some helpful odds and ends that making reloading on them hassle free.
