Intel6 Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 So I finally settled on the load combination I am goign to use at the Nationals for limited. I went through this for open and have all that ammo loaded. So I am loading .40 for both the limited match and another batch because my limited gun is my back up to my open gun as I only have one. I am loading a 1,000 rd batch and as I am getting to the end of 800 rds the handle goes further forward than normal like there is no case or primer in position #2. I freak out and I am looking at the case and the primer punch etc... trying to figure it out. I don't see anything wrong so I keep looking and I finally find it: I got this 650 in 1995 and have loaded an incredible amount of rounds on it so I can't relly complain. But it could have picked a better time to to break than when I was in the middle of loading my Nationals ammo. It is still early here in AZ so I have to figure out the part # and call Dillon when they open. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markcic Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Nice. If only you knew someone in town with a 550 setup in .40 that they could rent to you for a small fee. I think the going rate is a 6 pack per hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the going rate is a 6 pack per hundred. I have a 550 bolted on the other side of the bench so I could if I had to. I live in the same stae as Dillon, a few hundred miles so I think I can get the part here quickly enough. Just a pain in the a$$ though.

dillon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Neal, Did you call for a replacement crank? We open at 7AM BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RV man Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Now that's cool. You can't talk about Dillon not paying attention on this forum. I use another press and bet I wouldn't get any response at all. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to make sure I got the right part description/number before I called. I should have it in hand tomorrow as I am not far away.

jasmap Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hey Neal, I can't remember if you're running .38Super or .38SuperComp but I can bring one of my SuperComps for your backup gun if you want me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Neal I have my 650 setup for .40 S&W if you run short of time you can use mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dillon Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 RV Man, I actually try to check most of the popular shooting/reloading websites daily, and rspond to questions or provide information or suggestions to our customers' posts. Nowadays the internet is yet another method of communication between a company and its customers, and we do our best to be of assistance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 Thanks for the offers of help, the new part is on the way and I will be up an loading in no time. With 800 rds I am actually good on ammo for what I needed. I already got the open ammo loaded which was good because I have a SV factory gun in 9x23 (thanks anyway Jason) and that isn't too common.

boz1911 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I'd put a close eye on all the ammo you loaded (primers) before the breakdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
