Default Dillon 650 - I blew it up - Dillon fixed it!

Ok... 300 rounds into rockin' on the new Dillon 650... punchin' out 45 ammo like it is nobody's business... I'm there and it don't get better than this.. went slow the first 100 rounds or so to make sure I got the feel of the machine and then was rockin' ... about 15 rounds into the 4th tube of primers and the whole tube exploded...
Turns out I was supposed to go a little slower... and the Federal primers can be a problem... blew up the whole tube...very loud noises... bad JUJU...bits of my primer check system going all over the garage...
Called dillon on the first... got home Saturday night and there on my porch is a whole new priming system... DANG...

By the way.. this system beats the tar outa the hold hornady pro-7... of course it costs alot more and I bought all of the goodies...but for high production ammo ... this thing is great. Can't praise the company enough... OK... I blew up the primer tube and have never done that on the Hornady system... but in terms of fast...wow... I guess I'm supposed to not use military brass unless the primer pocket has been punched out and will be switching to winchester primers or something...and will go very slow with the Federals until they are gone.

Dillon is AWESOME!
