That looks like an EGW lightened hammer? Was it Melonited by chance? Had one break like that before.

Went ahead and bought a finish reamer from Brownells. Had set aside a few rounds that case guaged but held up in the barrel. Used some cutting oil and 5 turns of the reamer and the barrel is done. Cases that were hanging up above the hood are now just below flush. I'm getting measurements of .004"-.006" below..
Be out to run a few hundred rounds through it this weekend. I don't expect any more seating issues.
Good to hear. Often these mfgrs will use reamers beyond their serviceable life and you end up with a chamber like yours.

You use these for the Weigand extractor gauge?
Yup. Fixed weight, more accurate.

The NRA style solid weights work well.

Springfield makes their own barrels. You need to determine whether the chamber is short or perhaps just the leade. Or just send it to me and I can do it for you very cheap.

http://www.leatherheadbullets.com;feels just as nice as Clays, makes 175 PF and it is available. My favorite powder used to be VV N310, but availability has become an issue. The ETR-7 has become my preferred powder because it is available.
Reviving a somewhat older thread, but can you comment on how clean the ETR7 is and how much it smokes compared to Clays with lead 45 projectiles?

I'd say a little vertical movement is fine as the seat pushes the primer into place. But it should stop moving once you press it all the way in. If you're not getting them seated deep enough you may want to check that the priming mechanism is threaded all the way into the head.

Dillon makes an alignment tool for when you have to do maintenance on the machine that involves loosening/removing the shellplate head. You might try calling them again and seeing if they'll send you one. I got one sent to me for free when the plastic indexer on mine broke.

Anyone know what the factory (recoil) spring in a Colt Commander 38 super is?
16lbs. Same as 9mm CDR.

+1 for Wideners
Have several knock overs and four swinging silhouettes. Hold up to 5.56 FMJ at 50+ yds and easily handles all handgun rounds.

I do 223 on my XL650 in two phases, two separate toolheads. First tool head #1 is the size/deprime die, #2 is empty, #3 is empty, #4 is the trimmer, and #5 is empty. I do this for all my brass, then swap to toolhead #2. Station #1 is empty, #2 is prime/powder, #3 is empty, #4 is seat, #5 is crimp. Works like a champ.
