Chapo Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Saw a few old threads on this, but did not want to post on old threads. So, I have a Dillon 1100 with endo camera under powder station to check for primers. My issues is that I had the DAA powder check die but was making a mess of spilled powder on the shell plate. Got so frustrating that I got rid of it. Decided to get another endo camera to check for powder. This will result in having two cameras. Thoughts? Will post some pics when I get it next week.

Cuz Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 What model cameras? I was considering this for my 1100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddjob Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 This is the one I use to check for powder. So far it works good. I think another member here also uses this.... Its where I got the idea. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PBW52SF?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapo Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 That exact one. I’ll be having two of those. They work great. We’ll see how it works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HesedTech Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 7 hours ago, Chapo said: This will result in having two cameras. Thoughts? I’ll be honest with you, if you have properly set up you powder measure with a 1100 you shouldn’t need cameras or even a powder check die. After tens of thousands of rounds on my 1050 the only time I had a powder drop problem was when the Dillon measure broke. I noticed it broke because the powder bar stopped moving. Yes I trust the my process a lot and all a camera or powder check die does is make us feel better. I will say it is easier to short stroke the 650/750 or move the 550 without dropping powder, so making sure, before seating a bullet, visually the powder was dropped is probably more important. However, choose what works for you and stick to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnymazz Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 I agree Ive loaded in excess of 60,000 rounds on my RL1100. If you prime the cases first, then load powder and bullets it makes life simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGRIDER Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 My adventures with the endoscope that worked perfectly! A quick glance at the bottom of each stroke during dwell, gave ME the piece of mind I was after. https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/285855-video-reloading-9mm-on-my-rl1100/?do=findComment&comment=3208836 https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/285855-video-reloading-9mm-on-my-rl1100/?do=findComment&comment=3208840 https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/285855-video-reloading-9mm-on-my-rl1100/?do=findComment&comment=3208844 https://forums.brianenos.com/topic/285855-video-reloading-9mm-on-my-rl1100/?do=findComment&comment=3210805 I found that a higher MP, non-auto focus camera gave a lag free picture.

Sigarmsp226 Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Chapo - Since you already have your DAA powder checker in hand you might want to try something that I read about here on this forum years ago - that worked for the powder I was loading (231). Take a razor knife with a new blade in the unit. Take the powder cop hard plastic tip and score small not to deep grooves into it. Score four or five grooves in it one way, turn the hard plastic head and repeat the process. This will rough up the small smooth head and allow a small air space between the powder and the plastic and it also reduces the amount of surface to surface contact between the hard plastic head and the powder flakes. It may not eliminate the problem 100% but for me it reduced it to a easily manageable level and I was running this on my Mark 10 before selling it. Next time I am out in the shop I will pull this unit and get a couple of pictures of what I did that worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertg5322 Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 That's why I got rid of my primer tube filler, couldn't rely on it giving me 100 properly placed primers in a tube. I have 29 small primer tubes, I fill them then load until empty, and refill them. With the price of primers, and as hard as they can be to find, I don't want to waste them.

21 shooter Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Has anyone tried this camera with 38 Special on a 550 or 650? Hard to see small charges of 231/320/bullseye in the bottom of what is a relatively tall case compared to a 9mm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Just went down a rabbit hole trying to find out how to get 2 endoscopes on 1 monitor. i dont think its possible so what I ended up doing was getting a 10" quad feed monitor and 3 very small rca cameras. these will cover Brass in collator/Bullets in feeder/ Shell plate at bullet drop so I can see powder. I saw this post a few weeks ago and It got me thinking about the 1 monitor 2 scopes thing and then along the way I thought about how I hate craning my neck to see colator/ bulletfeeder. I suppose I could just listen to it but when the primers run out I like to check everything. And the mirrors are awkward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chapo Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Lol. I also spent lots of time trying a way to fit two cameras into one monitor. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Just finished this setup this weekend. I relocated the shellplate camera after this picture was taken. $160 now I just need an rca endoscope and it will work with this display https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BG1SF3RF?ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details&th=1 4 channel monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074P45P7G?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details cameras https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076HKCRNG?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_dt_b_product_details Power cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06W9JBQSW?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details rca adapters(the cables that came with the cameras are 30 feet long these are 1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21 shooter Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 That looks great and thanks for the links. They are especially useful for the computer/electronics challenged among us. I got the Oiiwaak shown on this thread and so far it’s okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
