Don’t laugh at the name…. But this is the Dandix sizer….  Requires an air compressor. According to a Reddit post, the price is $950 I don’t know if Dan is still alive and making these???? But here is a video that is 3 years old:  Sizing powder coated/high-tek cast bullets. pneumatic powered , dandix sizer co. |

I did some baking tonight: Attached File Right before they go in: Attached File And right as they came out, 15 minutes later: Attached File This is my very first time doing the shake and bake method.

Then I put those 5 into a CZ-75 mag and hand cycled them through two CZ’s, a matte stainless and an SPO1. No problems whatsoever. And the powder coat still looks good. |

I made 50 of them tonight: Attached File They are about 1.100” long. Maybe 3 of them were proud in the “hundo”, but dropped right into the Dillon case gauge. And right out. My game plan is to go to the range tomorrow.

So I lucked out there. I ran them through all 3 CZ’s today. Everything ran 100%.  Here are some pics: Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Sssoooo…  The next real test is going to be practice runs on some Steel Challenge stage with a timer. For Pendulum, those 10” diameter plates at 18 yards are a ….challenge…. To put it politely. |
