anyone have the new system? i have the old style and have had problems with it ejecting the shells from day 1. you can retro fit the older presses for under 50$ but i kinda wanted to see how well it worked.
any input would be great. |

There are a few threads in the last month month and a half. All seems good except the #1 shellplate doesn't work for .45 acp like it used to. You need the #45 shellplate for it to eject properly. Other than that it seems to work very well. I just ordered the new conversion kit from Hornady. Should be ready to ship in a couple weeks. There is a thread with the links on the first page right now.

I've got it. Works great with the right shellplates as mentioned about the #45 one....
I'm a brass whore and will reload just about any disgusting .45ACP brass I scrounge up if it isn't cracked or smashed. If I reload 4-500 rounds in a session I can expect about 3 or 4 rounds to jam up the ezject tab. No big deal. If I use good brass I have no problems at all. |

ah excellent thanks for the link. i just called hornady and they are not willing to help me out on the price. i think thats BS because my old style system has never worked properly from the get go. i always have to manually grab the finished round and pop it out of the shell holder...
its a 2 week turn around for them to cut my shell plate and get it back to me. guess ill have to pony up and just buy the kit. |
| I really only had issues with small diameter cases like .223 or 9mm. I remember talking to tech person with hornady on the phone about the issue. He talked like the issue was unheard of. I had a second wire for smaller cases that I had to majorly adjust to get it to work 100%. I have a Dillon now. |
