+1 for the Dillon 550 you will find either you save money or in my case start shooting a lot more once you start reloading . I figured up the cost of reloading .40 and here you go .
.40 S&W with lead bullets
$5.22 per 50rds
$104.39 per 1000rds
.40 S&W with coated Bayou Bullets
$6.56 per 50rds
$131.25 per 1000rds
As you can see there is a huge savings over factory ammo . Good luck with whatever decision you make this is a great forum to get info from experienced people
I'm thinking about trying .40 in production and have heard that it is softer than 9mm anyone do this already ?? Also can anyone help me with a starting load I'll be shooting a Glock 35 with 180gr Bayou Bullets
Is the PPU brass crimped primers because I was reloading .40 today on a 550 and crushed 5 primers trying to seat them . I've used them in 9mm with no problems but having issues with .40
For USPSA Production some of the modifications are you can change the sights , barrel , recoil spring and can do trigger work to it . No external modifications such as a magwell are legal in production
