@XrayDoc88 check to see if the cases are having to tilt to go into the shell plate, if they are you need to shim the shell plate with arbor shims

@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 I'm reloading 9mm using case plunger #3 and case reducer #1. I don't see any tilting of the cases as they slide into station 1. But as I complete the up stroke, the case bumps the far, inner corner of the plunger opening as the case rotates with the shell plate to station 2. That causes a quick, minor wobble of the case before it settles at station 2. Do you have any other advice? When my press jams, it always occurs at the end of the up stroke when the case is supposed to rotate out of the plunger. But that plunger opening is not tight. I'm not even sure if the issue is the case/plunger is stuck vs. something else sticking and it just looks like the case/plunger is the culprit?

@@gc641 it calculates more than the others

@davidbhyss You need to do some research if you believe nothing RCBC makes is made in China, you are fooling yourself.

@@bloodstone6196 100% different machine, not a single thing is the same

@@UntamedOutlooks they just sold a small amount of them at a discounted price on Monday as a pilot, my understanding is they will be fully available sometime in November

nearly all serious competition shooters ABSOLUTELY load their own ammo for both rifle and pistol unless you shoot long distance BC isn't too important, but if you do...its super important. Most competition shooters load their own ammo, they build the ammo for their particular firearm to get the best consistent accuracy and there are a ton of factors involved. BC listed on the box is a (rough estimate) not the exact BC from shooting that bullet out of your gun with different barrel lengths, twist rates, distance between the Ojive of the bullet and the lands of your rifle etc. which all make a difference on the velocity of that bullet leaving the barrel which is one of the main factors in figuring BC. The information of what firearm, barrel length, etc. is not listed on the box. The listed BC might be close to your firearm shooting that bullet but not exact and for long distance precision shooting and even PRS it matters a lot! My question to you is, if you are shooting factory ammo which usually gives you the velocity and BC on the box (based on the firearm it was tested in) then why do you need a chronograph in the first place? The unit has (many) advantages over the competition, they just dont mean anything to (YOU) personally and that's perfectly ok if what you own fits (YOUR) needs because that's what counts...your needs for (you) If you want to ask questions about a product, what it does or doesn't do to make an informed decision about what you want to spend your money on to fit your individual needs that's great and what people like me are here for and always happy to help.

@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 Dude...I'm not sure why you are so offended that I said most people don't need to measure BC that you had to write a "War and Peace" length novel full of things I never said or even implied (e.g. competition shooters don't load their own ammo). I said "most people aren't developing their own projectiles" not "most people aren't developing their own cartridges". Do you even know what a projectile is?

​@@michaelhill6451The target audience for a chronograph is reloaders. A large number of those are long range shooters. A beginner long range shooter takes the BC figure from the box and that mostly works. An experienced shooter knows that BC isn't constant even for the same projectile, in the same rifle but different loads. Having a consumer grade radar that measures true BC is huge.

@@michaelhill6451 For starters, I read it in a hurry and mistook you for another commenter so for that let me apologize. The only main reason for needing accurate BC is for long distance shooting and most people do not make their own projectiles for that anyway, but what I said stands true that the BC stated by manufacturer is a (rough number) based on the firearm they used for testing and velocity of the load which is why it's great that the caldwell figures the BC for the shooters developed load from their exact rifle, this gives better information for what ever their chosen ballistics calculator is so they have less need for calculation adjustments after the fact to Taylor their calculator. Considering no one casts competition rifle bullets I "assumed* you meant loading in general so I will again apologize...you never know what people call things in comments. Unless you muzzleload or shoot certain caliber pistol most aren't casting bullets and BC is irrelevant for pistol as a whole. The unit is smaller than the original labradar, still large, but uses chirp radar not dopplar which requires different components and has lots of advantages. Your comment that the only advantage over the Garmin is BC, it just isn't true...you will see lots more video soon on it all with side by side comparisons. Not bashing the Garmin or any other product, again everyone has a different need and use for a product and if you have the need, you will lug what you need.

​@@Pallidum I don't think you read a thing I wrote. I said MOST shooters aren't going to need to calculate B.C. The truth is MOST shooters will never in their lives ever get to shoot at a distance where the variation in B.C. from the manufacturer vs reality will matter at all. I've personally shot 308 hand loads to 1,100 yards and was dead on for elevation based on the manufacturer's published data.

@Majeskty yea, everyone is a little disappointed on screen size, but it's a nice color screen that's super easy to read. The chrono comes with a recoil sensor that eliminates the issue of others falsely setting it off when using it on acoustic. If you do get a false triggered shot, you can easily delete that shot and it properly adjusts your shot data

@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 How does the recoil sensor work, not familiar with such device, never had a chronograph or is this something new with these High Tech models coming to market? Thanks for your expertise!

@Majeskty this is new as it uses chirp radar vs dopplar radar...dopplar only reads speed, chirp reads speed and distance so it's able to read the drag (BC) by reading velocity loss over a certain distance. As for the recoil sensor it simply plugs into the unit and the sensor it's self has a velcro strap that attaches it to any part of your firearm and the recoil triggers the shot data

@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 Thanks for the info, that may work better for indoor ranges and pistol shooting. Thanks for sharing!

@pogo458 Hawks Ridge shooting range is a nice range, it luckily had no damage to the range it's self from Helene, everything around it has damage and then when you get into Boone, Chimney Rock entire towns are literally gone unfortunately...the range had no electric or water but they let us use it still.

@@MealTeam6_ thank you

@Evintos slugs yes, multiple pellets I'm not sure...I'm doubting any chrono would do well on multiple pellets

@@YERAFirearms yes

@Michael-oj5pr every time the shell plate rotates it pushes the plunger ball down and would no longer seal plus if a seal was in the way, it wouldn't work in the first place. The hole it rides in is barely larger than the ball, just enough for it to move and not hang up.

@XrayDoc88 all the updated cams on machines that didn't ship with them have been sent out, there is an upgrade coning soon I can't discuss any further than that at the moment

@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 Thank you. I discovered a second problem in addition to the broken bearing. I don't know if this has been reported or not. The screw on top of my "pawl" is cracked and bent. I suspected the screw was defective when the pawl seemed loose and there was some movement of the screw side to side if I wiggled the pawl up and down. I had to disassemble this area to confirm this. I have pictures, but do not see a way to upload them in this comment section. ☹

@@bragginrightsprecisionrelo346 Can you hint about the possible upgrade? Will it hopefully help prevent parts breaking in the X-10?

Ordered tools.

@MarkWidman not sure who you spoke to but they should have simply sent the new indexing arm.

great idea

Have a picture to show us, it sounds good.
