Just thought I'd add this. I'm having the same problem you are having with a new Kimber carry 45. The loads I use for my full size Kimber 45 won't cycle the carry because the spring in the shorter gun is heavier.

I'm using the same bullets you are 115gr. Berry FN. I've always used HS-6 5.8gr. never a problem shoot every week used the same load for 6 years.

I deprime and resize on cheap Lee press then I trim on my RCBS electric trimmer. I put powder in weighed one at a time then I use my 550b just to seat and crimp. I see no need to expand the neck as all the bullets I've used [Mountain Gold, Hornady 55gr.] seat nicely. I would love to purchase the Dillon trimmer but I can't justify the cost because the only other rifle load I do is 30 carbine and they don't make a trimmer dye for that calibre.

I use 5.8gr HS-6 for 9mm. Coal 1.010. 1.24gr Space Coast RN. Nice target round. I use 231 for .357 magnum.

I have both. Wilson has a larger selection. What I can't get in Dillon I buy in Wilson like .30 carbine. Both work well and I keep them in my garage in humid Florida and I haven't noticed any rust yet.

I wish I had as much luck as some of you guys have had with it. Thr blue tube is for small primers and the red tube is for large primers. No matter what I do I will have one or two primers flip or go in sideways. the tube does not get filled with the first two minute pass, may be one or two extra starts. Any time I gain is lost to taking the bullets apart with flipped primers. I get so discusted I go back to loading the primers the old way proven way with the tray and the tube. I wished I'd have done something different with $260 plus S&H.

Go to www.loadbooks.com and you can order them on line. I have several of them I believe thats what your looking for.

9mm HS-6 40 S&W Tightgroupe 38spl and 357Mag W231 45ACP Bullseye but I'm going to switch to Clays 30 Carbine W296

Go to the auto parts store and buy a needle bearing grease adapter to fit the end of a hand grease gun and use good chassis lube and your problem is solved greasing those 6 little holes.

I just recieved a thousand 155gr FP from Precision, took me six weeks to get them because he's backed up. I also have a thousand Precision 200gr SWC, haven't used either yet. I've used Precision 230grRP and their pretty good. They are a very hard coated dark grey lead process of some sort and the 45acp I loaded with Bulleye perfomed well. I have a few hundred Berry 40S&W 165grFP left and when I use them up I'm not buying anymore. Their lead surcharge is getting outragous. I'm almost ready to buy 9mm I think I'll buy them next week at the Orlando GunShow from Space Coast Bullets. Price is starting to be a big factor. I bought a box of 400 40S&W 165grSWC at the last show and they weren't bad at $23.25 a box.

Won't be buying anything from Berrys except 30 carbine. their upto $19 to $21 lead surcharge per thousand according to size and weight of bullets. Been buying from Precision but Penn,and keads prices seem better.
