World Shoot 2014 is a big international action pistol match coming to Frostproof, Fl. in mid Oct. Where I work is contracted to load 45 acp rounds for this match, 30 thousand to be exact. Since I load 45's it's my job to load these match rounds I'm no stranger to loading match ammo.These rounds will be shot by a bunch of picky Prima Dona's So I'm taking a little more care to load perfect rounds. For 3 days my primer filler has almost totally rejected to fill the primers correctly this has been driving my to distraction! It will eat CCI, Winchester, Mag teck, primers but hates the taste of Federal match primers. So my boss puts together a filler we use on the automatic loaders set up for me alone filling 100 at a time. Then the link arm assem. for the Dillion 1050 breaks. It's not 2 months old and costs $260 + dollars and it the main mech. connection to run the whole damn machine. When this goes your primers will be high and max overall length is exceeded. Useless rounds. Not a terrible disaster,...Yet. Maybe only 500 rnds lost. So you think? When advised of the situation My boss realizes He forgot to tell me that these rounds are requested to be 1.200 Overall length and not the standard 1.260 length.
15,000 rounds screwed up! every round I've loaded for the last 3 days with all the aggravations involved......USELESS!!!!!! at .40 cents a round that's a lot of money! I hate with a passion wasting money making useless bullets! Now we have to order more primers and re set the Dillion, clean and inspect more brass and start from scratch again! Runamok is off the chain tonite, look out Cent Fl.
The one brite spot is I now have a $1000 primer filler, that will eat any brand, and I'm never giving her up again. My old one got put on one of the automatic machines and I got stuck with the cheaper Dillion, but never again!!! will I give up my nice filler. I will always aspire to make the best bullets out there. Anything else is not acceptable! So I'm nut's, can you blame me? No because if I load it you can have no fear of shooting it. Oh! the guy's in the white jackets just pulled into the driveway with their runamok nets,....I gotta run! Have a nice night guy's.
