The sizing die doesn't flare the case, the powder funnel does. I use a Mr Bullet Feeder powder funnel and a U die.

Me personally, I'd soak it and smack it. OP, you should contact Dillon and do what they say. They are the experts.

Sorry, I forgot # 6. #6, pew pew pew pew pew...

I don't run a powder check. I run 1. Size / de prime 2. Prime / flare / powder drop 3. Bullet drop 4. Bullet seat 5. Crimp Ymmv

Yes, thanks

Yeah, good point. I forgot about it.

Hammer it out, have someone take video? (Just kidding, DO NOT hammer it out)

No, and never. Scheel's does. https://www.scheels.com/p/dillon-precision-xl-750-reloading-press/4235-750.html I load on a Dillon 750 with a bullet feeder and a case feeder. I'm my opinion the only reason to upgrade from a 550 is the bullet feeder and case feeder.

Thanks

Can you bend it up?

Yeah, I've got 12 pounds of 231, so it's going in everything

Thanks guys. I loaded 3.5, 3.65, 3.8, and 4 grains of 231. 4 grains was the only one worth shooting. The others were too light for my liking. Thanks for all your help

That's the same one I use with 3gr of Clays. Lots at 627 shooters use that load.

Anybody loading .38 Special with 147/148 coated bullets? I'm using Win 231 and I can't find any load data online. I'm thinking of starting at 3.5 grains. Thoughts?

I settled on a U die, and a Mr Bullet Feeder powder funnel. That works well for me. .

Is that one of the oversized funnels? I tried one, but had to toss it. No case tension.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all.

You'll really have to shoot it with and without the weight in the bolt carrier, and decide what YOU like. Everybody perceives recoil differently.

Literally the only good thing we have in Southern California is the weather. Oh, and great Mexican food too.

Yeah, it's crappy in So Cal too

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, won't get fooled again.
