Hi Neal in AZ do you use yours manually or have one of the Hornady or RCBS dies? I stop at the full down stroke and manually dump the powder. Worls great on 600yd stuff!

I use my Hornady LNL Powder measure on the 650 with the case drop feature, but you will need either to use a seperate expander die or get the powder thru expander die from Hornady. Works good no issues. Most of the time I just use the dillon powder measure on the dillon press as the hornady is in use on the other press.

I don't use the powder thru expander die with 38 Super becuase you mess up a few cases with that die.

Anybody have pics of these set ups ??

I use the hornady powder drop for my rifle , works fine with 223 & 22-250 . you can get the Micro adjustment with the Hor. & the auto powder drop is only $40 + or - Hornady has photos on their wed site.
I am not too goo at posting photos.
For the Dillion the UniTec adjustment tool is good = takes the "play" out of the drop

No I also do it manually like you. It is kind of strange at first but once you get into a rhythm it is easy.

Hornady says that their case activated powder drop only works w/their powder measure... true? Trying to get inventive w/ my Redding BR30

RCBS powder droppers with case activation on both a 650 and a 1050.

Please explain, I have an RCBS powder measure table mounted. What do I need to make it work
on a 650 ? Whats a case activated set up ? How does the measure reset back after the downstroke ?

[RiggerJJ]

RCBS makes a case activated linkage kit for progressive presses, basically a die with the linkage attachments that the powder measure drops into, works good on ALL powders including stick...

it can be had from just about any reloading supply house.

Thanks JJ !

[nad1967]

you know, pictures would be nice to tease us useless dillon powder measure users into getting something aftermarket

[nad1967]

any photos or folks with a Harrell's on their press?
