Jack that was my assessment. Emailed the fellow this AM and that is what i told him. Talked to him tonight and he told me ..400 done and he figures he may have that many more.. I thunk it was "only" 650..but he now figures close to 800 total. I also figured the brass was ruined when it wouldn't even size down more than .001 in a standard die..It must not have any elasticity left. Not many know it but Dillon has been "fixing the problems" that occur with the M-60(it worked but not well)....and the mini gun too. When they came out I think the cyclic rate on a mini was 3600 rounds per minute..when they worked.There were a lot of jams. From what i can find out Dillon's company has really made 'em sing at over 5000 RPM....and they are very reliable. You don't think that company stays in business selling reloaders do ya?? They have design genius's working there..they also have fun from what I have been told. Oh...my friend who did most of the reloading?? They brought him 5 5 gallon buckets of "once fired" 308 brass..all scrap. How much is scrap brass bringing right now anyway?? Oh..he is even salvaging most of the primers too..With air. I personally wouldn't bother...but he has an awful lot of work in the brass. He swaged all the primer pockets. Told me has more time than money. As far as Dillon they have a WWII Quad 50 AA gun. I'd love to sit in that seat and direct fire
