I just splurged this past weekend and bought a wet tumbler. I used dawn, lemi-shine and the stainless pins.....WOW, what a difference!!

Oh man, such awesome info in this thread!! I'm running 180's over N320 as well and wouldn't have it any other way!

Amen!! I'm totally content with my 550b and could NEVER get rid of it.

KKM barrels and 147gr 9mm loads go together like peanutbutter and jelly :-)

I've had some light reloads eject on my shooting hand and not have any issues with continued firing. Ideally at least a foot I would guess.

Lot's of good info here, and a lot of opinions.

I'm about to "splurge" on a wet tumbler and this is very helpful....thanks!

I use VV n320 exclusively in my 9mm and 40cal loads. Sure the price per lb of powder is higher, but when less than a penny per round...it's worth it in my opinion. Softer recoil, less flash and meters extremely well are my main reasons for using it.

The differences are minute, but as the saying goes "every little bit helps".

Yes it does. Which one you like will depend on your preferences...some change break while not effecting reset and vice versa. The two I prefer and have narrowed down to over the years are the Glock oem "minus" and the TTI connectors.

I reload so my loads a little lighter than factory. I use an 11lb ISMI in my G34 and a 13lb ISMI in my 40cal

TTI is good to go in my opinion and I agree on the stippling...it is top notch.

Depends on how heavy your ammo will be....20lb spring "should" cycle most ammo though.

Took the words right out of my mouth. A buddy of mine keeps telling me I need to upgrade to a 650, but he doesn't realize the words quoted above.

Same here. I also love the fact that I can use less powder for the same velocities.

When I used to use this type of tumbler I would let them run for about 2 hours with walnut. I would add some Flitz media additive and it made quite a difference.

550b Manual bullet and case feeding...I put out 300-400 rounds per hour, but it's not a race for me.

I would have to agree with this

Sometimes the plastic nub from the primer tube falls lower than normal (wear and tear). I replaced mine with one from the spare parts kit and cleaned the slide with alcohol and it seemed to work fine after that.

Probably don't want to hear this, but if you increase the powder charge a little more you will definitely eject further. It's all a give and take.

Leopold has a large field of view and nice clarity.

You guys must make a lot of ammo without any breaks in between. I'm perfectly happy avoiding the extra clutter and just emptying the bin every so often.

Yes quite aware that "I need to let go of the single stage process", but since I have a bucket full of ready to charge and seat brass from my single stage days I would like to complete them on my new progressive press.....hence the question. I guess I will just unscrew the sizing die and just run all the stages....thanks for the help

Just set up my new 550b and going to use it for the first time this evening. I already have cases (9mm) that are sized and primed so my question is this... Can I begin on station 2 and just remove the primer bar?

Purchased the Inline Fab bench mounted holder this morning. Space saving and very handy. Thanks for the info.
