Just broke off while I was reloading. Metal fatigue, or something, I guess! That looks like an area that might get some pressure, though.

wree you resizing communist brass for the 9mm? Haave an RCBS rock chucker that is 50yrs old.Dillon will replace that.

AB, That looks like it's cast. I'm surprised Dillion uses cast parts that get high stress and not milling them from solid bar and the hardening them. Save the pieces and they can be brazed/welded back together.

I was really surprised it looked cast as well. I use an offset roller handle which I’m sure increases the lateral force, but that’s about the last part I would expect to break. I know I have a lot of rounds on that machine, but as good as Dillon is, I did expect more.

The vast majority of ammo is .40, which is my flavor of choice for my sport, but it’s had a fair number of 9mm as well. Throw in the few 10,000 .38’s, .45 Colt, .45 ACP, and .44 Mag/Spcls, and the number of rounds on that 650 is pretty high.

I'm glad dillion has a good rep for fixing stuff, because for the cost of that machine it would tick me off.
