Never forget. Remember that in 20 years we have not been attacked again. Our members of the armed forces continue to keep us safe. Thank you.

Some brass is thinner causing the brass to expand on bullet seating. Also have you checked the diameter of the new bullets? Also nickel cases tend to be more fragile than brass. Are all your case fails nickel?

I've loaded for the Garand on a 550. Your numbers show a grain difference between min and max. . More than good enough when shooting the Garand. Each "stick" of powder can be pretty heavy. With some bridging issues you'll never hit the throw any better than you have. Shoot em up.

Thanks everyone. Day is done. Time to break out the Irish. Now if I can just remember how old I am......

Cuz - I just looked at your shell plate and it looks a little “warped”
so I think you need to contact Dillon and let them know so that they can send you a replacement….My eyes are not great so I may be wrong - but I may be right……
You do know that Dillon is a member here and reads these posts?

Damn, now that there may be two different 9mm she’ll plates for the RL1100 I “need” to have the better one…
I hate when this happens.
If you are not having any problems, I think you can safely say that Dillon changed the plates for a good reason and you currently have the "best" one.

Any of the regular sizing dies will work. Hornady, RCBS , lee etc. They are available thru several of the distributers. Example..https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101110519?pid=719704

True, but I’m hoping for the price I paid for these sizing dies it’s not the problem. I only own 2 sizing does, both are the Mighty Armory TNT gold match dies.
OK. Try this. Start with new brass. Just flare slightly and seat the bullet. Check for set back. If ok then the sizing die is fine. Crimp and check again. If OK, than it's most likely the crappy range brass.
-
Set back is usually a result of poor sizing. Just because the die is new doesn't mean that it is correct. Do you have a different sizing die? Adding crimp won't change the set back problem. Over crimping has it's own problems. Taper crimp does not "hold" the bullet.

C4West. Your symptoms sound more like what I would expect from an infection. I highly recommend that you see a doctor to get checked out. I'm PMing you as well.

Welcome. Lot's of info on the 45ACP. We look forward to you sharing all of your experience. Tell your brother congrats on hitting the CMP lottery. What did he get?
-
Take it apart and watch to see if the bar's throw adjustment is going the full range. If it's stuck you won't get the max throw. Also make sure that the linkage is not loose.
-
If you had to start from scratch, tighten the screws until a medium amount of finger pressure on the plate causes the clutch to slip. You can check it with a half full feeder of cases but it should be fine. Remember that these case feeders were not designed to run with the hopper completely full.
-
I have a 650 and load mostly 9mm, 45acp and 38spl. I keep the speed slow and I don't have any problems. I have never adjusted the cuff. Perhaps I might need to if I load rifle. Your clutch is working fine. If the motor stopped, the center hub would have stopped as well. Any clutch puts pressure on a motor and slows it down. The idea is to not burn out the motor because it's jammed. If it slipped so much that it didn't slow the motor, the case feeder wouldn't work.

And these are the cream of the crop that went back to work. Wait till the rest of the herd stampedes back.

This will stop the deer. Get some seeds.

If it is just a matter of moving the head over, leave it like you have it.
Sorry but no. Every press is different. You have to readjust your dies each time you use a different press. Even the same model.

Sorry to hear it brother. You're just used to the Rangers. Everything is bigger. Must be a bunch of midgets driving mini coopers in the sheriff's dept.

Thanks for sharing. Your son is lucky to have you as his father. The best times are where you both had a great experience. I'll bet he shoots better than you.

I need more info. How old are you? Do you have an eyeglass RX? How far away are your sights when you hold your gun? No matter what your eye dominance is, you will never be able to get a clear image of the front and rear sight at the same time. Which of your eyes sees the target? You really should have an eye exam by someone who is a shooter. They can answer all of your questions. Everyone's eye movements vary and it's difficult to answer your question on a forum.
Changed bullet, failure skyrocket

That's not a clean crimp. As a matter of fact that bullet is not good looking all around. Scrapping and scratches. The crimp almost looks like a roll crimp. If the dies are dirty and you are getting sticking, it could very easily cause your problem. I sent pics of my taper crimp and roll crimp bullets. Your crimp should not have that sharp inward appearance. Your bullet should be clean, not banged up.. Your case should not be scratched up. I'd clean everything and reset. Use case lube as well to prevent any sticking. Also recheck those bullets for diameter and consistency. Quality control ain't what it used to be. Luck
