Hello, I was wondering and read elsewhere about trimming brass 223 and 300 blackout then resizing again, Wondering is it needed? I will be using a dillon cp2000 with dillon trimmer and die and will have an extra stations after the trim die. I have resized and trimmed alot of 223 brass on 650xl not on problem, I am going to be making 300 blackout brass from 223, I have all the dies and trim die for this. is the extra resizing die needed to bring the neck tension back to proper spec? Later i will be processing other rifle brass. Do certain brands of resizing die be better for the final size if needed. Any other info you give me will help. Thanks for your time Coleman

LOL I didnt have mica powder ... only had an over stock of baby powder ... Everytime I shot a round thru my gun, it would smell like baby powder... I still was having issues with the bullet not turning correctly but with the powder coated bullets they are working in the bullet feeder ... I would still get a jam maybe 1 or 2 out of every 100rds... You may have to clean the dropper more often.

You can put a case mouth expander in station 5 to open up the case a bit for flat base bullets.

I had problems with upside down and sticking in the bullet dropper, Put some mica powder in bullet box and tumbled bullets and problems went away.

Thanks for the info.

I am trying to deside what sights to put on my STI 2011 40S&W with the bomar cut on the slide. It is going to be for 3-gun and IDPA shooting for now. I am looking for some ideas on what others are using. Thanks Coleman

Post some pics.

Yes they are a standard fitting. Yes grease will come out the pin hole, I pump it till it get clean grease out of the pin hole. any grease is better then no grease.

I got 2 seating dies in my 45 set, brian took care of it nr problem.

Over 15k of brass resized and deprimmed with dillon die,I like the solid decapping pin of the dillon. over half with crimped primmer no problem and ran with the RT1200, I ran 500 lead 9mm last month and no problem with my Mrbulletfeeder, it depends on the lube if it is sticky you might have to powder it with mica powder so they wont stick. Mrbulletfeeder is a must for me as my hands cramp up after a few hundered of 223 bullets.

+1 on the Hornady cam lock, Works great

You can chuck the pin up in a drill press or hand drill and file the head down till it fits.

I resized mine with a cheap lee push thru die

Add some mineral spirts to the mix. Here is a very good vid on reloading 223, This guy is my hero!!!! Alot of good tips and tricks for 223
