Was thinking of ways to light my SDB like you can with Dillon 550 and 650

wonder if I could drill a small hole in the center and then use one of those very small LEDs to provide lighting. Would have to go through the tool head as well as the body to do this.

any thoughts??

Almost seems like I've seen a thread on this subject most probably on this site. Try some searches as I think some outfit was making them commercially. I didn't think I wanted to spend the dough for something I didn't really find a need for. Be something for you to do though if you are thinking along those lines.

you could probably just zip tie or tape a flexible bore light in position. I dont have a square deal but just my thoughts

Looks like the rig I thought I remembered.

I put an LED inside a .45 Colt case for my 3 SDB's. It works well for 9mm, and 40 S&W, but the .357 mag case is too tall and doesn't work as we'll. I'm going to try some of the 5mm super bright LEDs and see if that makes a different.

I have the inline lite on both my SDB's. You can probably rig something up. I have the inline set up over stations 2 & 3 and can see the powder charge.

I use the Inline systems on my SDB's and my 550's as does my cousin and a couple friends. I have had them a while and they never had problems. I bought them when I had more money than time and he only lives a couple miles away so it was convenient too.,

I have the inline system, just wanted to see if something better was developed by our members.

I like Rodvan's light. Good reuse for split cases.
