Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. Sooty usually happens to me when under charged. Low pressure = Too long. Your on the right track.
  2. Try it at 1.250 and watch for pressure. I looked it up Ramshot ZIP OUT OF STOCK 0.451" 1.205" 5.5 908 17,600 PSI 6.5 1,013 20,700 PSI the WC seems to like short to cycle.
  3. I would check the load data for the velocity you want and go from there. Usually with a new powder (for me) I will start in the middle. If you are going to chrono these start at the bottom and work your way up in half grain loads.
  4. Check the OAL and crimp on a factory round and go from there. If the factory round chambers for you its your loading thats wrong. Are you sizing/ Is the crimp the same as the factory/ Plunk it in your barrel like 45ravon recommends. All barrels are chambered differently.
  5. Try loading to 1.250 OAL. They might be to short.
  6. If you call RCBS and give them the info on your die they will probably send you what you need for nothing. RCBS is a stand up company.
  7. If you have a chrono start at 5 loads of 4gr & drop to 3.8 gr and then 3.6. One of them should work for you. Have fun and watch for squibs.
  8. Guaranteed it will be smoother. After they are sized with the one-shot put them on a towel and spray with some alcohol and roll them around to wipe dry. This gets them ready for seating with no lube on them.
  9. I always spray my bullets with Hornady One shot before sizing. It goes a lot easier.
  10. A $20 LEE sizing die might help you out.
  11. Maybe you should try a crimp remover and not a reamer or a drill bit by hand to countersink the primer pocket. If nothing seems to work tear it down and clean, clean, clean. If that doesn't work send it to Dillon.
  12. When you feel a primer not wanting to seat, don't seat it, remove the case and use your case deburring tool to bevel the pocket. Reinsert it to the primer station and see if it seats easier.
  13. If your using mixed brass in 45 some have small primer pockets ( blazer ) or maybe they have been previously crimped.
  14. Thanks for all your comments.
