Reloading Porn Pic's

Niceeeee.
I can see hours of fun ahead.

How do you find the strong mount? Is it a good height and does it cause the press to wobble?
Looking at getting a 650 early next year.

Not sure if you are on Stalkbook but they have a Dillon page there that could be helpful.

the strong mount is nice and stable. front is bolted through the bench into the metal frame of the bench. the back ones have a block of wood under for extra support. I bought the strong mount that works with either the 550 or 650. its apparently 3 inches higher than the one thats just for the 650. Happy i got this one as i think the lower would have been a bit too low for me.
On the other end of the bench i’ve got a forster co-ax on one of the quick release mounts from inline fabrications which is very similar height.

I use a drafting desk chair so i can sit pretty high at it or its at the right height for standing.

They are both useless, you should give them to me.

Well, this was bound to happen sooner or later…

It happens to everyone at sometime.

Yeah, I played around with the concept, just to see how it would go, but I’ve never had one stuck for real until just now. I was quite happy about it LOL. I didn’t want to get one stuck intentionally, but this gave me a chance to go through the motions. Have all tools on hand, so it was pretty neat to put training so to speak into practice.

I haven’t had one stuck for years. When I did I was caught unprepared, no correct tools, not much in the way of internet so it was trial and error.

The beast is installed! RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme in, RCBS Partner Press out (@AusTac). Now I can be civilised and not need to borrow mates press that takes 1-1/4"x12 thread. Yeah!

Now I just need some time to do some reloading :confused:

If it takes my .50 dies i’m in, i’m.just a slack bugger when it comes to this stuff

You need to look up what thread your dies are…

I thought that you might have gone for the Hornady LnL press with the amount of different calibre that you have.

Nah man, I was perfectly happy with my Partner Press. I just needed it to take larger dies. It was a FB second-hand purchase…

Nice, looks to be in good condition for a second hand one, must not have had much use.

Looks very unused be honest. Had some rust spots on the handle shaft and primer arm, like tiny little specs. Quick wipe with steel wool and that was that. Suspect it wasn’t used much at all.

Now I can start thinking case kicker :slight_smile:

My old man was a mechanical engineer… And I get told off when he drops by, runs a finger over equipment in the man cave and says, why is this not oiled! Been bread into me LOL

I know the feeling, mine was pretty much the same

Had some time to kill between driving kids around on the weekend. Made myself 577-450 reloading block :slight_smile:

For those of you with the RCBS presses, here is a primer catcher solution for you.

Yeah at $60 for 50c worth of 3D printing, he can keep it.
