Or after 100k rounds. Buy a new part.. you had your dollars worth for sure.. all these parts from walmart or wherever. Probably came to more than a new pre crimp
Just stumbled upon this video recently. I’m still new to reloading with my MEC reloading presses. My starter crimps haven’t fallen out yet but I now know what to do to fix them because of this video!! Thank you so much!! Aside from that… Would you happen to have any knowledge on reloading 10 gauge 2-7/8” vintage loads? Primarily for a Winchester 1901.
I can get you in touch with a supplier for MEC reloaders, you can call them or write them. Order and pay for it and have them ship to you in Italy. Let me know if I can help you with anymore information. CAC Associates Inc. 136 Lazor Road P.O. Box 566 Ebensburg, PA 15931 Phone # 814-472-4430 Customer service, customerservice@cacassociatesir. I hope this helps. You can also look on Ebay
That was an awesome video. Thanks for taking the time to put it out. Just purchase a 9000gn display unit…missing parts and manual so starting to work on it and these videos give me hope.
You mean like a ponsness warren 800 plus! That was a good job showing people that. I'm not sure if PW uses mech or hornady pre crimp die. But ballistic products makes a really nice on!
Nice easy fix, thank you! Also like your stand. If's heavy enough that you don't have to clamp or bolt it to the bench. That makes it easy to clear off the bench if you need it for other projects or to make adjustments to the loader. It never fails that what you need to adjust is always on the back side of the machine. I know the focus was on the modification to the pre-crimp die, but it would have been helpful to some if we could have seen the effects of the adjustments to the shell when you applied the pre-crimps. In other words, too little, too much, just right. Thanks again for taking the time to make and post your video!
Thats such a good idea! I've been plagued by that crimp starter problem ever since I started using the plastic crimp starters. I'm going to convert all three of my presses to what you did.
@@rcgray1957 cost,easy of manufacture, resale of parts. Allen Bradley quit making their PLC systems. Once their product just kept running they weren't selling enough in sales. That is a big factor in developing anything any more. The best machine for sawing shingles was made by golden in the early 1900's. We were still using them in the 90's on they Olympic peninsula.
I got the 650n for free and rebuilt it. Didn't want to buy a primer feed tray. Got just the tube and was hand losing them. Then looked over at the hornady 366 abs said they have to be close. Works great to load manually, just have to rotate it around to keep the primers falling in. The mec one didn't work well unless modifying it. Hit to cut the upper bezels piece of. Cut below the edge with a pipe cutter and push the first piece on. I had two hornady primer trays.
I picked up a 12 gauge grabber with most of the parts missing. I am going to do a restoration on it, paint it, make it like new. Then put it up for sale. I have 6 mec's, 3 are hydraulic, 20,28,and .410
@@rcgray1957 I think the grabber is the way to go if doing manual loading. The 9000 electrics work well also. With the PW if loading othere than all brass bases have to resize on another machine. I just reviewed all of them on a mec. The H 366 in the sizing die, if they are high brass or steel base, makes the base shake badly when pushing back to push the hill out. Causing the shot to come out of the case leaving the shot station. The drain holes and track aren't big or deep enough and jam the plate. So just resize all of the hills first before reloading. That is why I think mec is a better product.
@@rcgray1957 nobody has shown a good video on seeing up the advance and indexing of the turn table. That might help viewing. Your new and not showing up on searches. Just give it time.
Can show video adjusting next station (5th)? It’s challenging for me to to get the tapered crimps. BTW excellent video and thank you for sharing your experiences.
