mehhh looks like a waste of money. run a powder check die or use your eyeballs.

QUOTED FOR TRUTH LOL

Can't find the post about the oring

In addition Dillon instructed me to turn the die down an eighth turn at a time until case fit correctly in the gauge. There is some more cam over but the tech explained it to me like this. You have to move the toolhead and the shell plate which actually does not appear to move much at all so per Dillon that small amount of tension is okay.

Here are a couple videos I just made to show how I process my 5.56 brass

I'll put the std sizing die in station 1 then. I'll give it a try if your not having brass spinning issues. I'll report back next week sometime as I'm leaving town. Thanks, Thomas

i was under the impression that we werent to cam over on the press due to shellplate flex?

just going through some stuff and getting ready to get my 650 setup for 5.56 brass prep. I setup my toolhead with the dillon rapid trim 223 trim die for my 1200b. i go ahead and take my freshly sized case that just went through my trim die and drop it into my dillon case guage. the case head is even or just slightly proud of the top of the case guage indicating not enough headspace. the problem is the die body is screwed down all the way and touches the shell plate at the top of the press stroke. i compared my brass to some comercial 5.56 that i had on hand and the comercial stuff drops down further into the case guage and actually rests just proud of the lower shelf on the case guage. can anyone point me in the right direction. i cant bump the shoulder back any more with the dillon die. is there something im missing?

Get the strong mount and load standing up if you have to. The 650 is really a great machine even if you don't load at much. Some people load to simply make shooting cheaper and to get high volumes of ammo. I'm in the other group in which I do it to get better quality ammo tailored to my gun cheaper and also because I really enjoy the process and the machines in general. Would a 550 have met my needs? Yeah sure it would have but the 650 is awesome and a pure joy to load on. And on e you pick up your shooting volume you will be loving the 650. Hell I'm close to getting a 1050. I've been shooting a lot more and I love the machines. It's all up to you. Eventually the press WILL pay for itself.

Always been a round trigger bow kinda guy

Right at case mouth crimp measures about .3785

If anyone can help me figure out the possible causes I'd appreciate it. Powder is 4gr titegroup. Col is 1.130. Crimp is only a couple thousandths. Function is perfect. Ejection is normal and consistent. Velocity is measured at average 1060fps. Gun is gen 4 g19 Any ideas on where to start?

Okay. I chronod a bunch of loads with titegroup and settled on 4 grains. Ave velocity is 1050 fps. Shot on paper it is showing to be very inaccurate and 7 or 8 keyholes out of 30 rds. Gun is glock 19 Loaded to 1.130" col. Couple thous of crimp. These are bear creek 135 gr lrn moly bullets. Any ideas?

my favorite color was always blue when I was a kid. green was a close second. started with a rockchucker for a long time. have a 650 now. soon a 1050 for 300blk conversions etc

what would be a good powder to use then?
