    Uniquetech micrometer

    I was looking into this, but it's expensive. Any of you dillon users have experience?

    I have not, but have been eyeing them too.

      I have 2 of them. You need to loctite them on to the shaft from the power bar, but it's not that hard to do. They work pretty well, and easy to accurately adjust.

      Easier to adjust and more accurate than the nut that Dillon puts on their powder bar.

        Nice! Would you say it's worth the money?

          I have one (for a few years) and they are great to get back to a known load, though mine over 1000 rounds or so may move a smidge I would still get another one.

          I move my powder measure from tool head to tool head when changing calibers and having a setting for whatever powder allows me to get set fast.

          Just dial in powder setting and throw a few charges to settle and then verify on scale and you ware done no guessing.

            Well, I will say that it's something that should have been incorporated into the Dillon to begin with. It is worth it, just like many of the nickel and dime upgrades that are available, but I always feel they should have been designed better to begin with. The nice thing about the micrometer is that it's easy to read and you can go between 2 different loads fairly easy. The majority of time I pick a load and stick with it for a given session, but it is easier to dial in.

            The one thing I've been wanting to get is the tool head clamp system that UniqueTek makes. That seems to make sense and make the press more rigid, but I would like to hear from someone that has bought it since it's about $40.
