You are correct, I have found that I can seat and crimp with no problems.

Russ, I think you better stick to buying your bullets from the store for awhile. You need someone to come over and help set up your press, and build up your confidence, before you continue. We would hate to see you get hurt.

Lets take a pole. I would like to try the Tula primers, but buying just a 1000 is not cost effective with the hazmat fee. Anybody ever have a problem with using the large or small pistol primers, or rifle for that matter??

It would be great if they worked in both guns, saves ordering both bullets. Thanks again for your help.

Thanks guys, can you measure the inside diameter of your 9mm mbf die at the top so I can determine if my spring will fit, or if I need to make an adapter. I already honed the die for the old bayou 124gr and it worked 99% of the time, but the new coated 115gr bayou"s wont work at all?? Funny thing is, both bullets measure the same diameter??? I just spoke to my son, he said he fiddled with the adjustments on the die. If he cranked down on the top adjustment to much the b collet might have closed up when it contacted the a collet. Its been awhile since I set up that tool head but if I remember correctly, the bullet used to pass thru the b collet and it doesn't now. Does anyone remember how it works???

I've been using the Hornady bullet feeding setup on my 650 for over a year now. Works fine after you fix the noise issue and add a micro switch. But the Hornady bullet dies drive me crazy, hit and miss. The new coating on the Bayou's wont work at all?? Can the Mr Bullet Feeder dies be modified to work on the Hornady setup, and do they work better?? Hornady has a spring that slips into the top of the die, will it work the same with MBF die??

Thanks for all your help guys

Question, can i use the Bayou 230 gr. rn ACP bullet for a 45 long colt bullet??

I'm beginning to believe this shortage is B.S. You get 7000 gr of powder from a pound, on average you can get 1200 to 1400 hundred rounds reloaded. So, how come there is no shortage of bullets and primers this year????

I just received 4lb of imr 700x, being that I've never used this powder before, is it ok for 9mm?? Very little info on loads in any of my reloading books, also very inconsistent powder throws on my 650. I'm using Bayou 115 and 125 gr bullets. Anybody have a good safe load for it.

Told you so Marco, you saved a crap load of money.

I just kept playing with the two adjustments until it worked and locked it down. It's tedious i'll admit.

Yes you can cut the spring tube. I had to cut all three of my springs.

Yes Franco, it takes a lot of tinkering to set up. I have zero problems with mine after the learning curve. I had the most problem with the 45acp, asked Hornady to send me new parts A and B and problem was solved.

Isn't it amazing, that the person who lives in the White House, has caused this whole problem....
