Hey, I just realized the funnel die is different between the Lee and Dillon, will I still have to get a Dillon powder funnel die? Thanks

Thanks guys, looks like the Lee dies are a lot cheaper, so I'll give them a shot, if later I need the U-die, it's cheap.

I just got a Witness Match in 9mm. I've always been a 38 Super guy, but got a great deal on the gun in 9mm, so now I'm loading 9mm. I'm using a 550B, and use Dillon dies for Super. I just wondered if there was anything to all the hype on the Lee Deluxe dies, or should I just stick with Dillon? Thanks,

Thanks for digging that up for me. All the tweaking that needs to be done has me a little gun shy. Not because of your post, I had that before. I still have a frame from a TZ75 I experimented with back in the early 90's and I'm still a little nervous because the experience wasn't all that great. Getting blown out at the Nationals because the gun keeps jamming is not fun. I switched back to 1911 single stack and just practiced more to beat the local guys and there double stacks...lol I placed much better the next year. I think I'm ready to try again. I know there's a lot more info than when I tried and some better parts to be had. Thanks again.

Awesome info Jeff, thank you

jam-man, you said it took a little work, was it just the discover of the difference in mags? or was there something else you had to do? I've got my buddy interested and he wants a 9mm for sure. Jeff686, what do you have to do to get 23 rounds crammed in there? That's alot of ammo...

Thanks for all the great reply's. I was kinda hoping 38 Super would be the predominant answer, I think it's an awesome caliber, and I probably don't have to do anything to switch between guns since they will both be lighter loads. My open gun is only for steel, it's had a hard life...lol Our club doesn't recognize major or minor, so that isn't a concern or I would go with 40. Thanks again for the great responses.

Any chance they'll make this in a 9mm or a 5" or both?

Hello, 1st time poster, long time lurker. Great forum, I've always found the info I was looking for, so I never had to post...lol I have a 38 Super Open gun that I use for steel. I'm looking for a limited type gun for some of the other local club matches that don't allow Comps or Optics. I'm cheap, so I was looking to only have to reload for 1 caliber, 38 Super, but realized that 9mm would still be a little less money. So the questions are: 1) which is generally more reliable? 2) is one generally more accurate than the other? Thanks

Thanks for the replies, I may have to bite the bullet and find out if it'll run on my frame, if nothing else, I'll buy another frame for it...lol

IRRC, the Kimber kits don't work with frames cut for a ramped barrel. That's what I thought, but do you have any idea why? The barrel is supported at the slide stop, and it has its own ramp. I just can't figure it out, but I don't want to spend the money to find out... Thanks for the help, Skip

Great report, I've been interested in getting one. Can you tell me if they will work on a frame cut for a ramped barrel? Thanks, Skip
