Just flip the arm back when loading.

Yes That was discussed previously in a previous thread. Push through dies are used as a pre-process prior to the sizing/de-capping die when loading.

Just soak them in Hoppe's #9 over night.

I thought you were referring to a brand of bullets, like MG's. I couldn't figure out who PC was.

Exactly. The Dillon powder measure doesn't make mistakes, the operator does.

He was weighing each round, not each charge Which is also basically useless, as case and bullet weights can vary leading to grossly incorrect assumptions on charge differences.

Isn't that the truth! I was at the range this morning and someone next to me was shooting into the grass ten feet in front of them when aiming at a steel plate 15 yds away. I've never seen anyone pull the muzzle down that far when pressing the trigger, and then asking if they hit it!

I just looked at Blue Bullets and what they they sell are .355" 9mm and .400" 40/10mm. Doesn't make much sense to me!

The ramp (if you really need it) only needs to be in the center, and no wider than the disconnector.

5.0 at 1.145" gets 1073fps from my P226.

You will find that the more people you ask, the more different responses you'll get. Look at any "what's the best lube" thread!

It might be a good idea to take the rod with you!

They are not slotted, but they are slightly larger than the cap screws so there is some adjustment. That's how you adjust the platform when you use the alignment tool.

My guess is that it is condemned by many shooters because it is subjective to finger length and is not a "universal" grip technique. Those who don't do it claim that the finger on the trigger guard "steers" the gun and can cause the muzzle to wander upon recoil. That's probably true, because their finger is just too short to wrap around the trigger guard and they end up pushing the guard to the side rather than pulling straight back. If your finger is long enough to wrap around the guard and pull straight back it probably works pretty well judging from some of the shooters that have employed the technique! I have large hands and long fingers and after reading all of the "don't ever do that" comments I immediately went to the range and tried it with my Glock 27 and wondered why I hadn't tried that before!

What OAL was that? I've used 3.2 of Clays at 1.140 (RNFP) with no issues.

I use the bulge buster. The trick is to start the case mouth up into the die while holding it with your fingers and then bring the ram up to meet it and push it through. Placing the case on the ram and then trying to get it to start into the die is a waste of time.

That's what I do as well. I never leave powder in the hopper, cases in the case feeder, or primers in the magazine. I know how many rounds I will be loading and set the machine up accordingly. It seems as though a number of people leave their machines loaded up and ready to go though so all they do is walk up and pull the handle.

Just disconnect the arm from the powder measure and push the powder funnel up with an empty case using your fingers. No need to cycle the press.

Did you remove the powder bar to see what the cavity looks like? Perhaps it is a bit clogged with powder or some other debris.

Maybe he's cleaning brass from minor 147's...

Kinda' makes one wonder about the need for a bone crushing grip to control recoil.
