I was not going to buy a roll sizer until my latest gun purchase, I bought a Beretta 92 fs. My first round in my new gun had a slight bulge in it a jammed up the gun with my reloads. I run all my reloads thru a EGW case checker and all passed, so I tapped the slide only to jam the round even more. I then had a heck of a time getting the live round out. I then checked an ammo can full of 9mm with my Dillon case gauge to find about 300 rounds that wouldn't pass the Dillon case gauge. The 300 pieces had slight bulges as well. I then decided to buy the rollsizer after hours of research. I tried Lee and Dillon dies and still would get bulges on non supported chamber cases.
I bought the dc model based on my shooting, along with the 9mm and 45 acp conversions. This is what I learned after 2 five gallon buckets of 9mm and 2 buckets of 45 acp.
You will have to run the machine empty for 2 to 8 hours for break in.
It will put out 1800 rounds a hour without any stops with a Dillon case feeder on low speed, it keeps up.
It comes with everything you will need.
The 45 acp will do 308 as well, I tried it and it works fine. I didn't see a need for that.
The supplied aluminum hose fitting for the case feeder was a little thick and would catch the limit switch and not feed cases. Easy fix, took it to the belt sander and took off about .035
The roll sizer would get stopped by a number of things, heavy bulged cases and wrong caliber cases.
It will require you to sit and watch it run, like watching paint dry. It will get stopped as soon as you turn your back. I found 40 cal, 380, 357 sig, 45 acp and 22lr cases while watchig it run. Range pick up. Great sorting tool ,also found a few split cases.
The 45 acp runs a lot smoother than the 9mm, not really needed for 45 acp but I had the machine already.
I reloaded an ammo can full of 9mm and not one case failed the Dillon case gauge and function without any issues.
The rolled cases size easier in my Dillon 650 with Dillon dies, you still have to size the cases.
I ran about 30,000 cases thru it without any machine related issues, just wrong cases and badly bulged cases.
I wont reload without roll sizing first, great machine and would buy again. I would get the larger unit if your doing it for commercial use.
I clean my cases first with corncob and polish, plinking rounds. The rolling action of the machine breaks up some of the burnt powder left in the case and ends up in the bottom of the bucket, bonus.
