The set screw is good. Problem is that I can't adjust shell plate. Its as if the part that the plate sits on is warped. I suspected the ball plunger that the plate sits on. I cleaned it out also.
I have a problem with my shell plate on my 550. When you thumb the star to rotate,the shell plate will turn freely For a couple of turns then stick and you have to force it. Like its rubbing the main plate it goes in. No matter how loose the shell plate bolt is.
I have been loading 180gr JHP with 231. OAL 1.125 and 4.5 grns. Winchester shows a max of 5.0grns. With this length do you think I could bump it up a few 10ths of a grain? I still don't have a crono,so I'm not sure what these are pushing now.
I getting around to loading .308Win on my 550. I'm loading for a savage bolt gun.(my first bolt action attempt) What do I do in the crimp station? Is there a rule of thumb? I do load .223 for my M-4,I use almost no crimp for the semi auto.
Just plinking, I guess you would call it. Paper targets out to 100 or 200 yards. Nothing to serious. I have a good supply of H335,so I would like to use that. Thanks for the help.
I'm ready to start my first attempt at loading the .308 Win. Before I invest in a bunch of bullets,can someone suggest a bullet weight to start with? I have H335, Dillon equipment and Hornady and FC brass.
Jeez, I am now missing the E clip form my primer bar ( the one on the White roller wheel) I called Dillon to find out it's size. 5/32 in case anyone looks for it. The guy said it was easy to find at a hardware store.
