[NEW MATCH GRADE COATED BULLETS]

I just checked and the code worked for me.

I tried 100 pcs of 200gr RN in .45ACP

Try "ENOS10" as it only works if in caps.

[Casefeeder cut-off switch]

...but not necessarily how the cases should feed!

[First try with coated - how's the crimp look on a pulled bullet?]

There really should be no mark.

Especially a ring that looks like it cut through the coating.

All you need to do is remove the flare.

[Gray Guns Service]

i wouldn't consider that being a pest at all, since they requested payment months ago and stated that it was nearly completed.

I imagine that if you don't start calling, your pistol may just sit in a bn on a shelf indefinitely.

[From who should I purchase a Super 1050?]

^^^

That.s how I see it as well!

[Primer Reliability]

It makes sense to me.

If you lighten up the main spring you increase your chances of light strikes.

You lightened yours up even more and had more light strikes.

[Modifying Dillon 650 shellplate timing]

What problem is it that you are encountering that would require modification of the indexing ring?

[650 Large Primer flipping sideways]

Strangely enough, I loaded some .45 last night, and in 50 rounds I had 11 primers go in the case sideways with my XL650. Never had a problem before.

I played with it a bit and found that there was a film of goo between the shell plate and the ram platform that was impeding the full rotation of the shell plate. With the goo in there the detente ball wasn't fully engaging the shell plate, so the primer pocket was not properly aligned with the primer punch.

Cleaned it all up and the shell plate snaps into position and the primers all go into the cases nicely again.

There was very little goo, but just enough to cause a problem.

[Pistol lubrication thoughts?]

Slide Glide Heavy on the rails.

TW-25 on the internal parts.

I mainly shoot pistols with full length rails. (P series Sig's, 1911's, Hi-Power)

The pistol style dictates the lube.

Glock and M&P style pistols can practically run dry.

[Freedom Munitions 40 S&W]

I shot thousands of rounds of their remans in 9mm and .40 prior to doing my own reloading and never had the first issue with their ammo.

[New 650!]

Agree with jmorris as well.

I have yet to make a change to my 650 and all it does is run perfectly.

Dillon dies as well. No issues there either.

[650 Large Primer flipping sideways]

Did you try a different brand of primers?

Is the shell plate bolt properly adjusted?

[Dillon 550B sizing/depriming die issues]

I had two .40 cases do it to me twice on Saturday. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to get those two loaded...

Just what "Dillon" is saying.

[Possible Dillon Improvement to the Powder Check]

I just glance at the indicator on the powder check since it is right in front of my face.

It's easy to see that the switch plunger is in the V groove.

[Strange markings on cases]

What happens when you actually shoot them rather than just hand cycling them?

[Possible Dillon Improvement to the Powder Check]

Why would you be wearing hearing protection when reloading?

[adjusting the bell on a SDB]

Loosen the clamp screw securing the power die.

Screw the die in about 1/16- turn.

Tighten the clamp screw.

Try it ans see if it stops shaving.

Repeat as necessary.

[Do gen 3/4 Glock 40's or 9's still bulge brass?]

Unless it has a ZEV striker

That makes sense!

Thanks!

[Reloads don't chamber in 625]

Ink up a round with a Sharpie and see where it is making contact.

[Do gen 3/4 Glock 40's or 9's still bulge brass?]

I picked these up at the range the other day.

It wasn't shot from a Glock, and I'm not exactly sure what it was shot from, but Iwhatever it was, I don't want one!

[40 cal crimp ?]

Crimp does not set the neck tension.

Neck tension is a function of the bullet fit in the case.

The function of "crimp" in an auto loading pistol is simply to remove the flare that is needed to fit the bullet into the case so that it doesn't get shaved.

[First time reloader, likely stupid questions, help please]

The "cratering" seems to depend on the breech face. M&P and Glock always always leave an imprint on the primer, as does my Beretta. My Sig's and my 1911 do not though.

Yours look like a Beretta breech face imprint.

[First time reloader, likely stupid questions, help please]

As far as crimping goes, pull a bullet and see if there is a mark on it from the crimp. There should be no mark.

[Strange markings on cases]

It depends on the bullet profile.

I have some 230 LRN that want to be 1.200", while others work at 1.230".

I was judging by the exposed shoulder. My LRN's need to have the shoulder flush with the case mouth to run in my 1911.

I start by calculating the max oal for a particular bullet in a particular barrel, and then work from there.

[Strange markings on cases]

The OAL looks a bit long.

Did you try shortening them up a bit to see if that helps feeding?
