When I run out of the first two. Once in a while, not very often.

Where in Florida?

Welcome one and all

Yeah Titegroup does the same thing. I thought you used Titegroup, I didn't realize you used N320

Ken, How many show up for the SC? I haven't shot one yet, but I was thinking about it.

I'm running a Ghost rocket in my G34. Never had this problem and I ride the reset on the trigger. I too think its from the spring or it has been aggressively polished.

I don't have an open G34 but I put the new gen4 ejector in my Gen 3. I'm pretty sure it 30274. I run an IMSI Spring 11-13 lbs ( don't remember without looking) and a Jager guide rod.

Titegroup meters extremely well

I too did that at a match. Very similar situation. I didn't realize that that I hadn't reloaded all of my mags. Shot the first few targets reloaded , moved to the next array fired two shots and slide lock. I looked down like how am I at slide lock? I only had two rounds in the gun. For that very reason, I put all the empty of half empty mags in my pocket and never back in my mag holders. I also check every mag on my belt before I load and make ready. I actually had the screw up on video. Its quite funny to watch.

My variance on my XL650 is .1 You definitely want to check for debris in the mechanism. Oh yeah, Titegroup meters very well in the Dillon.

I got extra tips in the bag with my tubes. Do you have a air compressor? Did you try blowing out the crud?

I started on a Lee Turret then I got a Lee Loadmaster. I did succumb to the pressure and went blue. LET ME TELL YOU the Dillon is absolutely the best reloading machine I have ever used. DILLON ROCKS!Oh yeah, welcome to the forum @stick: hehe. yeah, I just pulled the "blue handle" and ordered a 650XL. I will dedicate it for 9mm because I'm shooting it more than the other calibers I load. I'll will keep the Lee Turret for 357 and future 45ACP/10mm loading. It is so easy to change calibers on the turret.I also kept Mr turret;however, I don't use it. If you get a quick change kit from Dillon its easy to change calibers. I also load it in 9mm, but I have the quick change kit and caliber conversion on order in 45. Its really hard to go back to the Lee after you've used the Dillon.

Congratulations

Works fine on my tablet. Or try resetting your IP Address open a command type Ipconfig/release Ipconfig/renew

OK! Since you asked.I started with a little Lee turret press ( the turret moved and the bullet was stationary). Four pulls to make one round. Easy to keep track of what is going on. (Powder charges). I then went to a progressive press(shell plate rotated round the dies). Progressive press have a lot going on. One pull for one bullet. I then went to a Dillon XL650 with all the bells and whistles. (Case feeder, roller handle, strong mount, bullet trays, powder check die, etc.). The 650 is not really recommended for beginners. Brian Enos recommends the 550 because its not auto indexing. You can keep track of things easier. I also recommend you start with a powder like Bullseye because it fills the case with more powder and its easy to see a double charge. You will also need a good digital scale, digital calipers, dies, and a bullet puller. Call Brian Enos, he will probably recommend the 550 also.

I don't know of anyone using blue dot.. sorry

I don't think you will notice a difference either. If you want to get really technical, you can video and review the results.

Are you new to reloading? If you are, you might want or start with the 550

+1. I have an uncle mike G17 holster that I used while my BladeTech holster was on order. ( I'm left handed). The 34 hung up a liitle, now my G17 works great out of my G34 holster. I just use the 34 holster for both weapons.

You should have no problem shooting both classes with different platforms. That's what the classifier is about.

The die presses the bullet down to the same length, but using mixed cases that were previously fired are different sizes. Even resizing the cases in station one doesn't make the cases the same length. That's why you always have a variance loading pistol brass. Rifle brass is a different story because of the case trimming. The brass length has very litle to do with variances on the over all length.. The case is supported from the face of the base so "if" every bullet had the exact same geometry the seating steam would contact in the exact same spot on every bullet and the aol would always be the same.. now the mouth of the brass wouldn't always be in the same place but the oal length would alway be the same.. The issue is that the steam that seats the bullet doesn't always contact the bullet in the same place due to differences in the surface of the bullet, and variation on the placement of the bullet in the case before it goes into the seating die (it's almost impossible to get repeatable placement)which means the bullet will shift some as its being pushed by the seating die.. This variances can be tightened a litle by using brass that has litle variance in wall thickness and tension.. Which is why you see improvements when using new or once fired brass with matching head stamps. There are some bullet types that are known for being more consitant such a JHP, this have less variation when seated compared to lead bullets due to their more consitant surface geometry.. Lead or Molly bullets probably have the most inconsitanty in shape.. There's also seating die's like the redding competition die that claim to help with the consentricity issue that comes with the bullet shifting as its pushed into the brass. Anyway this variations are rather trivial.. You shouldn't worry about them.. .005 is preaty avrage.. Also make sure that .008 is actually your avrage and not your maximum.. If you take the time to figure out avrage difference in a batch of 20 or 30 you might notice that your deviation is much smaller than .008 Cheers, Los That was an awesome reply!

Paul,I thought you were shooting Montana Gold's?

My thoughts exactly
