*NOTE: If you are setting up a DA3000 with CP2000 and plan to convert or trim 300 BLK brass, it is best to swap the swaging station to the right-hand side before installing the DA3000 crankshaft/sprocket
Really enjoyed this video. I was surprised at how fast this trimed the cases to length. Great machine and looking forward to final load and shooting of those loads.
Good vid! Im in the process of debugging 3 of these. Vids of the challenges you come across with indexing and breaking in would be a great topic. Get a honey badger from FFB. The bosch is a monster trimmer.
I do my conversion on a 650. I have an RT1200 trimmer and a ch4d 300blk trim die. I run a dedicated trim tool head for processing. Universal deprime like you do, then into the trim die. I found the ch4d must not be forming the brass right as I had chambering issues. So I picked up a spare Lee sizing die and run that after the trim die. Zero issues once I started doing that. Can’t swage on the press, so all brass still gets run through the Super Swage after being formed. Swap my tool head over to my loading tool head and toss that converted brass back in the case feed and start loading.
I live in Washington state Iona Dylan 750 introverted a lot 300 blackout. One thing to remember if you do a lot 300 blackout order a new cutter for your case trimmer head Tesco fast especially do thousands it’s good to have a spare
@gavin.. you are gonna want hornady lock ring or similar on those dies because as you use it there gonna walk on you. Found out many times the hard way lol. I'm sure you know that by now.. anything automated those bad boys are mandatory
Always heard it was better to size 90% with the full length sizing die (no expander/decap pin) then finish with the trim die. Mandrel is a good idea, instead of an M die. Now you just need to get an AMP mate and install it on a Giraud trimmer.
This is great when you could find the reloading supplies such as primers and powders but these days it’s still hard to find these things. I still don’t understand why primers and powders are still hard to find!!
I just received a large package of 223/556 cases this week, It is my first time with that caliber. I am in the process of a lot cleaning and prep work on them..... i was thinking of doing half in 223/556 and the other half in 300BO. I do not own any kind of AR though. I need to get something some day.....
I use a chop saw with a fancy bracket for the round... this of course WAY faster... but my setup cost ~100$ and I have done 1000s of rounds... but again not this fast lol
Though everything measures fine, with a progressive IMHO it wouldn’t be a bad idea to load and fire a handful of that processed brass before you make thousands. You’d have to really like 300 blackout to make that machine pay, but if you do I’m sure it’ll be awesome.
He is an FFL07. The license allows him to load and sell commercially if he chooses. Automated is the only way to make money as a commercial loader/reloader.
I can buy about 4 lifetimes of prepped brass for what these 2 machines cost. Interesting to watch, but no way in hell am I spending thousands of dollars just to make brass.

To think about when you started your channel and to see where you are now👏👏👏 ... thanks for sharing your experience with us Brother 😉👊👍🇺🇸
Man, your shop is a dream come true.
Just finished loading up some Starline 300 BLK with CFE BLK and Hornadys 125’s and 150’s. You guys were right about how well CFE BLK meters
Really dirty to shoot though.

Going first class there Gavin.

I use 2in harbor freight saw with jig, rcbs small base die and trim with frankford arsenal case prep center.

i can fully process any brass you want fyi
Thanks, Gavin 😁
Great video. Curious as to how long a cutter head lasts with that much cutting. Is heat generation a concern on the cutting blade?
I use a chop saw with a fancy bracket for the round... this of course WAY faster... but my setup cost ~100$ and I have done 1000s of rounds... but again not this fast lol
What would be a better option this Dillon or the new Genesis automation press?
Any chance of a comparison (pro/cons) between the Mk7 and DA3000 without...ahem...getting any blowback?
Anyone know what expander mandrel and size being used
I have a CP2000 with a mark 7 autodrive
Which one do you prefer? The M7 or the Dillon?

selling converted brass will pay for this machine in no time.....but id say Dillion sent it to him....either way for his business it makes sense...
Gavin, how is the finished edge after trimming? Is chamfering required?
Of course it is required. Everbody seems to forget it
I thought the trimmer did it.
Where would a guy find enough primers to make it worthwhile to own that thing????????????????????
As an FFL we get much better odds and first shot to purchase
@@luckyshotammunitiongunsllc2369 HUH???
Federal firearms licensed dealers can buy wholesale at places other cant.. they usually get stock befor the consumers..
@@luckyshotammunitiongunsllc2369 do you think gunsmithing worth it?
Always.. you also need an FFL for that.. or they have one for that anyway
If i send you my 5.56 brass, will you convert it for me for a fee?
Nice
Kinda like 1980's compared to Mark 7 machines. I would still like one though
Thanks for the video
Sure beats my harbor freight chop saw and jig 🤣
shoulda went mark7 drive.. i run 2 dillon drives and 4 mark7 drives and would NOT get another dillon drive again
It’s like watching Heisenberg set up lab equipment 😂
I'm confused... swedging after decaping makes no sense... did I miss understand?
Yes- you misunderstood. You can’t swage with a spent primer in place :)
Check out 300 HAM'R!
сколько стоит такое чудо техники?
thats wow! l have 1050 that's good nuff, gunoil here.
Its no wonder no one can find any primers!!
Why don't people just buy 300BLK brass haha, such an expensive endeavour to save some cents per case on 300.
We will be converting THOUSANDS of these :)
