made 954 bronze bushings in place of cranckshaft bearings on dillion 1050.

my 1050 had a lot of slop in the crankshaft. i could wobble the crankshaft all over the place but it was "in spec" for dillon. took my calipers and i had 0.0095" of freeplay between the frame and crankshaft on the left side and about that on the right side. much tighter and smoother now. i do still need to put in some grease fittings and cut in a groove for grease to travel yet. though.

Cool.

You'll also find some other aftermarket bearings out there, too. Unique Tek and Ballistic Tools and Reloading Innovations have shell plate bearings and detent replacements to stop powder spillage, I know.
