ShrinkMD Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I noticed that the M-die type powder funnels are not available in 44 special/mag, and I plan on loading those on my 1050 someday. Any thoughts on replacing the Dillon expander on station 2 with one of these puppies? No crimps to worry about on 44 special or magnum brass, so it looks possible. Thoughts? I am very happy with my 9mm PTX funnel from Unique Tek, and plenty of crimped brass in 9mm, so the swage rod is needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Want2BS8ed Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Meh... I don't think it would hurt, but I wouldn't spend the money to replace an existing die. If you were filling out a new head from scratch and you didn't need to worry about swaging primer pockets, then maybe...FWIW, I reload both 44 and 357 magnum on a 1050 using Redding's competition seating dies and micrometer crimping dies. I'm a fan of both, but the standard Dillon expander has worked fine.M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
