So you push in the thingy, and put the EMPTY shell in between the dohickey and the thing-amajig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Street Survival Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I have a Dillon Super 1050 and I keep getting powder flakes sticking to the powder funnel and the brass part of the powder check system. Does anyone have a trick to prevent this from happening? I used Bounce Sheets to no avail. Thanks for your sage advice in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 burnish the funnel parts with graphite. the kind for lubricating locks. a popsicle stick can be a good burnish tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Survival Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Thanks, Miranda. I tried to do it with the graphite and a used Bounce Dryer sheet to no avail. I have my two dehumidifiers going 24/7 and still the problem persists. ;-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warpspeed Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Using a non-plastic hopper will cut down on the triboelectric effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend told me to ground the machine. He said static electricity was the problem. I ran a insulated a 16 gauge wire from the hold down bolts to a support pole in my cellar. Problem solved. Did the same thing to my next machines and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 not many believe this one... put metal aluminium tape around the plastic hopper. my tape is about two inches wide just that addition stops floating grains... I was trying to give the top of the lee hopper a little grip. I've no reason I think explains it. miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) I have guesses for why and I do not know what a test for dissipating static might be. I suspect that some sort of capacitance is in the answer. hard to imagine reluctance or inductance... it is only one tape width around the hopper. nothing else. miranda Edited June 11 by Miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 a glass hopper? really? I suspect the tape will work anyway. that magic idea is much the same in that plastics are insulation much as glass. miranda miranda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Freeman Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 (edited) I have replaced all my Dillon Hoppers with DramWorks pyrex hoppers. Added in a little JB Weld to make sure they stag snug and I dont have to overtighten the screws. Edited June 12 by Tom Freeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Survival Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 That is exactly what I currently have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m700 Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I cant help myself, I must upgrade. 550 has all dillon accessories, bearings on the priming system, I tapped and threaded a hose onto the deprime. 650 was loaded but sold 1100 with Mark 7, all M7 sensors, has primer dump, case stop, FFB shellplates, bearing shellplate nut, 4 cameras, everything level 10 offers for 1100, FFB primer arm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Street Survival Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 I added the FW shell plate, it works nicely. I also added the primer tube which dumps into a used 8lb plastic powder jug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ysrracer Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 The best upgrade for a 550, is buy a 750. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
