I dont think its a good idea to weigh the powder charge in the case unless ALL cases are of the same mfg and are as clean as can be.

[gavintoobe]

@454RedHawk - If you use a case to dispense into (only one) and zero the scale on that exact case, and use that case for successive powder measurements, it's fine. But, you can't just measure the weight of arbitrary cases that come off the press and expect them to have the same total weight. Does that make sense?

[scotts97lude]

Stupid question - if you have brass with used primers ( used casings not new ) is there a station on this press that will remove the exisiting primer? or will the new primer push the old one out ? Forgive my newbie question, but I just want to confirm before possibly buying one of these.

Thanks!

The sizing die has a pin that pokes out the old primer before a new primer is inserted. On the Dillon, old primers are collected in a cup that you periodically empty.

Looks nice . Can i use the same shellholder & case feed plate for reloading 9 mm lugers . Beside's the dies of cource .

[gavintoobe]

You'd need shellplate #5 for 9mm, and #2 for 38/357. Really, you should buy the caliber conversion kit for each as it comes with all of the caliber-specific parts.

Where in the obama blue hell can I find some damn primers?!

@gavintoobe which press do you prefer dillon or hornady?

[8ZRD11R]

I havea Dillon 650XL, it is so good I have plans to buy a new 1050 soon. I am in the process of building a new room to house all my loading gear. Is the 1050 roughly the same size as a 650 (with a case feeder)? I need to know so I can make allowances for space in my new room.

@gavintoobe To eliminate the primer cup and the periodic dropping of primers on the floor, take an empty .223 case, cut the head off, stick the neck in the hole that the spent primer falls through (it will stay in place with a friction fit), and run a piece of flexible tubing down to a waste basket or container under your bench. No more lost spent primers or emptying the cup.

@6:17ish when you are tighening the crimping die, if you read the manual correctly it say to tighten your dies with the base plate in the up position and the round in the actual die

[71dweb]

VERY UNSAFE WAY OF TAKING A POWER WEIGHT.

[PAGunGuy]

Hahaha. It can be tough. Luckily my local gun shops always seem to have what I need. :)

[scotts97lude]

Great...Thanks for the prompt response. I work for a range and have used brass accessible ( free !! )
