[Anal: is it worth it?]

.

Most of the ranges I shoot at have a lot paper rifle targets in the 25-50 yd. range. So for the majority of my ammo I don't even bother with trimming. I buy bulk processed brass and bulk bullets and just load them up.

I have a separate batch of ammo for shots going out to 100 yds. Those I trim and use higher quality bullets. I then have a batch that's for the rare match with 200-300 yd. targets. This brass is from the same manufacture, trimmed & weighed.

How long is too long? I was reading somewhere that if you don!t trim the case could reach into the rifling and cause problems. If I could get away with not trimming that would be a real time saver for hosing ammo.

[Hey, Dillon...slow pdf files]

I wonder if the concern here should be how long it takes to upload or the fact that they havn't updated their manual in almost 10 years.

Thanks for the advise. Did you use a Dremel to polish the funnel ? If so what bits did you use?

I think I'll try to make a few 62 grain round with 22.5 oh 4895. What have I got to loose.

I suppose I could use it for 77gr bullets for 3 4 hundred yards shots but sounds like this isn't the powder for me

[IMR4895 for 223?]

A friend who no longer reloads gave me 8 lbs of IMR4895, he used this to load for his 308. Can this be used for 223 in an AR for hosing close targets in 3 gun or should I just fertilize my lawn with it. I did find a few loads in my Lyman book but I don't want to waste my time if it won't really work well.

Feel kinda silly, I tightened up the punch and it's fixed. I guess the person who put it together at Dillon got a little sloppy as its only 2 day old.

Thanks all

[Dillon 650 getting stuck on upstroke]

While loading with small primers last night the machine started stoping on the upstroke, I was down to the last few shells on the plate and the primer station was empty and it got stuck on the upstroke. There was a primer on the primer punch so I. Reached in and removed it then the machine would cycle. Next cycle same thing, remove the primer from the punch then it would cycle.

Any ideas?
