What did you do in the reloading room today?

I read a couple threads on the autodrum. Unless they got the kinks worked out, it doesn't seem as trouble free as one would expect given all the hype.

I actually have & use one. Big step up from the auto disc!

I read that six page thread on The High Road and saw you posting there. Looks like you're one, of the majority, having successful results.

Like I posted, some that have issues are able to resolve them with some minor tweaks, some just want to complain. I've seen threads on needed fixes for Dillon gear too. So while it's regarded as the Cadillac of reloading gear by most, it's not entirely without its faults as well.

If there's an inherent design flaw in a product that no amount of tweaking will fix, then it's time to send it down the road and get something else. I wasn't saying the Lee Autodrum was without merit, just pointing out what my initial findings were. If i was interested in one, I would put more time/effort into reviewing more info. To get my Lee Perfect Powder mearure to auto-drop, I did have to customize it a bit. If I didn't have it, I would certainly be looking hard at the Autodrum.

Well, here's one about Dillon. Wanted to load up some 9mm with my Dillon RF 100 primer loader. This machine has definitely not been turn key. Lots of small, time consuming tinkering to make it run right. I'm starting to better understand how it works which will benefit me in the long run.

Let's see - this weekend, four boxes of .357 magnum, nine boxes of .45acp, six boxes of 9mm, and started some .32acp. Been filling up a lot of brass lately, got lots more to go. Gotta do something in the winter.....

I hear ya. Upgraded the 1050, doing the same on the 6 & 550's. Possibly sending one of the 650's back to dillon for whatever needs done. It's got many a round through it, plus it's an older 650 without the zerk fittings.
