Thanks Guys. I'll be sure to get there early enough to get the sights dialed in. Hopefully the weather will be good this year. That dust storm doesn't look like much fun :grin:

I'm planning on attending the Quigley this year and have a few questions for those who have attended the match.

First, I'm curious as to sight changes due to elevation; who much did you have to...

Okay, thanks for verifying shaft length.

What I would suggest is that you center the pot and sprue plates. Even if the final out come is a problem elsewhere, these still need to be centered for...

No, changing washers from side to side will not move the mold laterally, it will only change spring pressure and can create coil bind if you go too far.

The shaft has rollers which run against...

I bought a red dot from Bzcraig, He is great to deal with. He accurately describes his items, packages them well and ships quickly. Good communication. No worries when dealing with Bzcraig, he is a...

You just did the math for an 881 grain bullet :)

If you want an average number, you could divide 881 by 5, which equals 176.2.

Using this as the average bullet weight, you would have 31,782...

I bought some brass from IdahoFireman and he is great to do business with!!!!! He ships quickly and the brass is as he describes. He is definitely a Straight Shooter and I will be buying more from...

I have an earlier machine, and the cams do not have that lead in cut......so obviously there has been a design change there. Provided the cams are properly adjusted though, they should still open...

Opps, the was question deleted.......well, the answer may help someone else anyway :) Sorry about that.

The clearance is not difficult to measure. It can be as simple as holding a mold half in you hand, press the key inboard and measure the width of the mold and key.......now hold the key outboard as...

The picture shows that the carriers are properly aligned, which eliminates that as a possible cause. That leaves cam adjustment as the only remaining item that would cause one side to open before the...

I'll preface this post by saying I'm hesitant to post anything at all on the subject, as the explanations can be difficult with the written word and easily misunderstood. Nothing said here is...

Well, as it turns out, St. Louis got hammered with rain last week, so I was able to go to the show. I guess the rain dance worked :) Don't tell the locals though, I think they got more than they...

Awesome Skeettx!!! Just what I was needing. Thank You very much!!!

My 40Cal molds are cut at .406....but I'm sizing to .402. So .405-.406.

My 45Cal 200 grain bullet molds are cut to .457. Larger 45Cal 230 grain bullet molds need to be cut larger, .458-.459

What caliber, weight and type of bullet? How much larger do you want the bullet over your intended sizing diameter?

That's a very nice collection Mike. Congratulations on finding all those!!!!

Have you seen the NIB 503 4 cavity on E-bay right now?......It's quite the find. But I'm sure it's going to go way...

Guess I'll run this thread up the flag pole one more time :)

Thanks to JonB and Goodsteel for sending samples. I appreciate your help.

I'm still looking for samples from the Keith molds,...

They advertise the Tulsa show as the worlds largest........Don't know about that, but that's what they say.

The last time I was there the place was packed......elbow to elbow. Too crowded. Of...

Oops.....didn't look at the calendar. Unfortunately, next weekend is probably even worse for me :(

I'll be working near St. Louis this coming week, and most likely working Saturday also........but...

Hey Tim, I got the H&G bullet samples you sent yesterday. Thanks a lot, I appreciate it.

I'd really like to go to the show tomorrow and meet you, but unfortunately, I just can't get away this...

JonB, that's an interesting bullet, I have not seen it before. That being the case, I'd certainly like a sample for my collection. I don't see that mold on TexasFlyBoy's site, he may be interested...

Thanks to Fecmech and Sagamore-one for sending some samples. Fecmech has sent # 39, and Sagamore-one has sent the #107. Here is a picture;
...

Right now, your collator is new, and the plate has sharp edges. Those edges do scratch up the bullets. In time, these edges will wear and become smooth........In enough time, they will wear...

If you have a large countersink or chamfer bit, you can chamfer the inside of the tube to remove the lip. You could use a knife and get the job done if you don't have a chamfer tool. Be sure that...
