Found another bonus with the Dillon powder check die

[Jmorrismetal]

I had an ammo load stepped 9mm case somehow get by and into the machine, the powder check found it.

I wired into this particular PC die as it is an input for the PLC that normally runs this machine but it is otherwise as it came from Dillon.

Gosh. Another annoying thing to watch out for along with small primer 45 acp.

I built a device to take care of the SPP brass on my 45 ACP 1050.

Ball point pen, ..., re-purposed. Of course it was. Why? Because you got skills. That's awesome.

Because I am lazy, do you know how long it would take to machine be a single ball point pin? I don't know either but it wouldn't be worth it.

I have the Powder Cop on my Hornady LnL and the other day I was loading 9MM. I somehow had a .380 case in the batch and ran it through until the powder cop told me something was wrong with that drop. Love a powder cop.

It also shows a difference when loading .223 cases between the different brands. For instance a standard PMC case takes more volume than a LC case. Set it for PMC and then run a LC and it looks like I dumped to much powder. What was strange when I threw the lead down range and tested velocity there wasn't really any difference between the cases. I guess the pressures may have been different but the velocity was the same. Make sense?

Yep, the powder drop can be set to not drop in the shorter case and the PC die will catch the squib.
