Thanks. DAA makes a manual tube configuration with funnel.

I found the DAA manual case feeder and funnel
-
Does anyone make a universal plate for 40sw, 44mag and 223?
-
Can the plate handle 40sw, 44mag and 223?
-
Anyone know of a case feeder plate that accepts all calibers?
-
Does anyone aftermarket make a plate that you can use for all calibers? I don't wanna buy 3 separate plates if I don't need too.

I use the Little Crow Gunworks World’s Finest Trimmer

Sorry... I process my own. I figured I'd Google and saw suggestions. My bad.

Google and suggestions will come up

Use Brass Wash and skip the SS pins
-
You could try polishing I side of the die using a Dremel

I first started with the Hornady lock n load single stage. Then got the bug bad.... bought a Dillon 550B.

I've got the Lyman case trimmer, spend extra and buy the WFT from Little Crow Gunworks. Also an annealer comes in handy. I'd buy the 55gr soft point from Sage's Reloading. They were around $88 per 1k.
-
If you can find the Hornady 50gr Zmax, they work very well. It's a Vmax but with a green tip.
-
Check out Sages Reloading out of WA state. He had 55gr soft tips shipped for $88.

Many years ago Mike Dillon did a test. He loaded a hundred rounds of 223 - to a benchrest shooter's standards. (One a single stage press - trimmed, cleaned primer pockets, reamed flash holes, turned the necks, weighed each powder charge, etc.)
Then he loaded 100 rounds on a 550 w/o doing anything other tumling the brass, and running it through the press.
Then with a very accurate bolt gun, he grouped both batches of ammo at 200 yards. And there wasn't any difference in group size between the two batches of ammo.
Back in the days of the Masters, I loaded super tack-driving 6.5 BR ammo on a box stock 550 with standard Redding Dies. I could consistently shoot 10-shot groups at 100 meters under 1.5" - out of position (creedmore).
The absolute most important thing for accurate rifle ammo - you must find a bullet that your rifle's barrel likes. Then you can play with powders a bit.

Any reference to the article with Mike loading 223?
-
Thanks.... I read an article that Mike Dillon tried either way. He did the single stage, 100 rounds, then loaded another 100 rounds on a 550B. The difference was negligible at best unless your bench rest shoot. I'll just go back to using my 550B and just watch the OAL, etc....
-
Maybe I'll go back to FL decap/resize on my 550. Then just keep an eye on OAL of the brass.
-
Bolt rifle. Just trying to shorten the reloading work.
-
I agree. I only bump back 0.002-0.003" of an inch too. I use to FL resize/deprime on my 550B but thought I'd better results on my single stage. I rarely need to trim the brass.
-
I've been using the Dillon FL die on a single stage to deprime/size my brass. I was thinking of removing the decap pin assembly and buying the Lee neck collet die to use on my 550B. This would resize the neck only plus decap. Then I could load.

Case trimmer is nice, I use the lyman ezee trimmer. Brass prep tools, the lyman prep center works well. Headspace gages are nice. Some brass lube, Brass Juice works well and vet owned. I've always been fond of Varget or imr8202xbr for powder.
