clunk, play in operating handle
Quote from Reloader on February 12, 2012, 1:03 amI have a 3wk old 1050 that seems to have developed a pronounced 'clunk' on the upstroke when the sizing die releases (9mm civ and military brass (military is worse), all dies except sizing removed to track this down). I have noticed there is a relatively large amount of play in the operating handle (my 650 has almost zero perceptible play, where as the 1050 I can rock the handle back and forth about 2/10ths in before any toolhead movement occurs). Just trying to understand if this is expected behavior with the 1050, or if I have something wrong.

The camming action does mean that there is very little movement to the linkage and shaft at the beginning of the handle upstroke.

I also changed to the Lee U-die only (I used to use both the Dillon & the U-die in tandom) but broke the spring clip on the dillon and switched the U-die to where the Dillon one was so I could keep reloading while the part came in. Found it eliminated all the clunking and rounds still chamber check perfectly. Haven't changed back yet in @ 5K rounds loaded!
