flack jacket did you did that drillilng your self or a gunsmith did? how did you did it? it is great I have the same gun

Yes I'm using a 550. And I notice that the problem was on the two screws that hold the powder funel/system to the powder die. That litle piecs was inverted and the guide did not went all the way, so after some strokes the powder system moved up the powder dy and the system could not activate the powder bar completely. I disasembly the powder system and put the pieces in the correct way with the guide pointing down, tighten the screws (I saw the difference) and now the powder system is right in place and tight.

Thanks for all you posts. Yesterday I got the RCBS bullet puller and works just fine. I found 8 out of 50 without powder. Lesson learned, I have a dillon 550 and now is working great. Every single stroke I make sure the powder bar is activated all the way and that primer cup is filled correctly. Also check for powder on the case every 20 or 40 loads with a mirror.

I'm looking for a good cheap digital scale to complete my reloading equipment... any suggestion?

That was the other option I was thinking. Measuere the weight but I loaded 3.6 grains of powder on this 9mm case and wondering the variation will be minimum to idetify them. Thanks for the advise I will stop by this afternoon and get the bullet puller.

I was reloading last night and after about 50 rounds, I noticed that at least the last 5 provably 10 the powder bar was not reaching the full move and the powder was not dispenced. I fix the problem but the question is how can I know what cartridges were made with no powder on them? If by mistake I fire one of them the bullet will go out of the barrel? Or is best to trow them all of the suspect 50 cartridges?
