I have not dealt with them myself but I have heard nothing but bad things. http://www.thefiringline.com/forums/showth...National+Bullet I would look somewhere else. Sammy

I just loaded 200 rounds and had a primer load in sideways and it got seated almost flush!! I have no idea how it did not detonate. Sorry for the bad pict

I have wondered about crushing a primer like that. I worried it is possible to have chain reaction in the primer tube assembly which is what you had. Glad you are ok but what would have happened if a spark found it's way into the powder hopper? I guess that is a good reason to keep the lid on the hopper. Has this ever been documented? Thanks, Sammy

Thanks for all the help. The common bullet I keep heaaring is Montana Golden Bullet. I would like to shoot something a little softer that factory so a 200G flat nose they have on their website is what I am going to try, Does anyone have feeding problems with flat nose bullets? I would go with the standard ball but they don't offer one in 200G. Thanks again everyone, Sammy

Hello all, I am a long time lurker, first time poster. I have gotten into IDPA, USPSA shoots at my local clubs and am now addicted. My new found hobby has gotten rediculous on my wallet as well. I have read everything I can about the subject of reloading and decided a Dillon 650 to be the press I am going to use. In checking around other forums Brian Enos is the guy to buy from. I would go for the 550 but I love the idea of a powder check to help prevent any errors. The extra $150.00 as I see it is cheap insurance. My question is what primer, powder, bullet do I start with? I am shooting a bone stock Kimber Stainless Target II in .45. Thanks for all your help, Sammy
