What did you do in the reloading room today?

Wow. Seems a little premature for breakage aye?

While it's a dillon product, it's not perfect.

Apparently you don't know bobby. He could break a bowling ball.

Tried drilling holes and installing base pads on my Colt 1911 mags.

The bitch is the things are stainless steel and a cobalt bit would barely cut the hole, as it was I snapped a titanium bit and a tool steel 4-40 tap...just another day in paradise, now I know why I only do these occasionally, what a PITA stainless steel is...

Got 3 of 4 holes drilled, but need a new 4-40 tap before I can tap the other holes. The "self-tapping" screws that come with the base pads sure as hell don't cut into stainless, all it did when I tried was crush the threads and make a nice smooth screw with no threads...Will have to finish it tomorrow now...then I will have 8 mags done this way.

Oh I get that but seems a little soon. I do tip my hat at 20-30k rounds in 6 months. Holy hot damn!

It's a peice of cake. Installed a counter , surprised how many pcs get done, when you keep track.

Pulling bullets today then I will load some more 44. I have some 10mm to pull and then a couple hundred 45 ACP. And my wife says I don't know how to have fun!!!

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

I don't. I'm sure we will meet one day. So on a serious note do any of you hot shot 1050 guys run a fully automated press? I've seen a couple youtube videos where they have a motor on a pulley system running the handle...

[bobbyfairbanks]

Nope to much can and will go wrong. Plus they cost a lot of money and a you can already load fast on a 1050.

When it's not broken.

Anybody have a lead hardness tester?
