But I just ordered another 10K yesterday from Cabela's for $19.99 and $5.00 flat rate shipping.

Does the enos discount code no longer work?
If you are referring to Acme Bullets, yes, I used it successfully yesterday.

I do wish the CoC didn't hurt my fingers and skin so much. It's more a test of pain tolerance than muscle sometimes.
I started out with #1 and at first wasn't sure if that thing was to toughen up your hands or improve your grip...
I put one strip of masking tape on the grip that my fingers contacted and left it on for about a week or two. Now it's fine without anything on the grips.

Which target are you folks using for this?
Here's one:

I'd bet that you are jerking the gauge when the trigger breaks giving you the inconsistent readings.
I use a Lyman digital and it is quite consistent.
You need to stop the movement the instant the trigger breaks for consistent readings.

The latest "Blue Press" (February)has an article in the back about grip, arm, and elbow position featuring Brian.
I found the picture alone quite helpful, as I am about the same build as Brian with about the same size hands and I'm also left eye dominant.
A picture truly IS worth a thousand words...
Thanks for that, Brian!

Try a search for "Clays 147" and you'll probably find enough to keep you busy for a week!

That they use the bulge buster on a single stage then run it through the Dillon resizing die for match reloads. Seems like this method maybe better on the quality of Ammo.
That's the way I chose to do it.

Here is a recent post from Donie at Bayou.
The general rule of thumb is cast bullets should be .001 over bore diameter. Some barrels like .002 over bore diameter especially in 9mm.
With cast bullets whether they are coated or traditionally lubed one must often try different diameters to obtain best results.

When loading on my SDB's I use the Hornady paste case lube. I just place the tub next to the cases and simply touch my finger on it every three or four cases and then touch my finger and thumb together. Then all I do is pick up the cases and feed them onto the shell plate. You don't need to smear it on to the entire perimeter of the case, as just touching the case is enough to transfer a little lube. You don't need a big blob of it on your finger, just enough to where your fingers feel slippery when rubbed together.
A 4 oz. tub for $4.00 will probably last 100K rounds, and I have never even considered cleaning it back off of the loaded ammo as there is so little on it. It makes loading effortless though.
Edit: If I had to remove "anti corrosion junk" from bullets, I'd be switching bullet manufacturers in a hurry!

I heard that Dillon is coming out with a new line of reloading gear.
-
Too much force on the calipers was simply altering the caliper reading, not moving the bullet in the case.
And no, you don't need to resort to light wave measurement techniques, caliper measurements are accurate enough for this purpose...

Quit trying to turn a simple mechanical process into an academic experiment!
-
I’d like to be able to calculate how many turns it will take to move a specific distance.
.071" per turn.

And when I use an impact puller to get the bullets back out, the coating is rubbed off around the uppermost area all the way around. Sometimes the lower area, too. That can't be right. It happens even on ones I don't use the factory die with the crimp ran all the way out so as not to crimp.
I had that problem with Lee 38 Special dies. The seating die was too small and was removing all of the belling as the case entered it shaving the bullet bare as it seated it.
Switched to a Dillon die and never saw any shaving again.
All of my dies are Dillon and have never had an issue with them. My first and last set of Lee dies...
-
Since you didn't mention what brand die you are using, I tried a Lee die once...(38 Spec)
Every bullet got shaved down to bare lead regardless of the amount of belling.
Switched the seating die to a 9mm Dillon and never shaved another bullet.
Turns out that the Lee was removing all of the bell when the case entered the seating die, which is why it didn't make any difference how much or little the case was belled.
The Lee die set came with a XL650 I bought used, but fortunately, all of the other die sets were Dillon.

I'd be happy if I could just see fast enough to watch the video, let alone shoot that fast!
Great shooting, Jake!

I saw Clay's on the shelf at Bass Pro on Sunday.
-
Sounds like the powder funnel is sticking in a case.
-
Only other thing and it might not be an issue, but I can only add 1 Dillon bin of cases at a time or it will stop the feeder from running.
The two screws on the plate are to adjust the "clutch", which dictates the amount of friction there is on the plate drive.
Sounds a bit loose.
Adjusting the two screws may solve all of your problems.

.I wish I was smart enough to convert grams to grains for a more accurate reading ...oh well........Happy Holidays to all!!!!!!!
The Dillon scale doesn't read in Grains??

Revolver.

I'm connected!

The press is mounted to a steel table that is grounded.

Sounds like a scale problem.
Mine gets stupid when the batteries get a bit low.
