Conversion to Dillon (possibly), What About Dies? - Page 3

Is it as sensitive as the Dillon one? I saw a YouTube vid where it was indicating an issue when the charge was 0.1gn off.

I would seriously doubt that the RCBS lockout die is that sensitive, but to be honest, I haven't really tried to dial it in that closely to check.

If the Dillon one is sensitive down to 0.1 grains, I would be very surprised as well, but I have never used one, so I really shouldn't speculate. Heck, the Dillon powder drop can be off by 0.1 gr fairly often with flake powders!

Well I'd wondered if that sensitivity was a good thing or a bad one. But either way I think it's volumetric, right? So in a small/narrow case it's bound to be more sensitive than in a wide case.

The Dillon one is sensitive enough it can detect small changes in the internal volume of cases.

Like this.
