I run 4.0 grs of aa#2 under a 124 delta p. Jhp for my sc load. I have used 6.8 grains aa#7 under the same bullet and it may be a little flatter but it’s not much difference and it’s not worth the extra powder imo.
-
I would spent some time trying to find the broke piece, just never know what kind of damage it can do, probably nothing.
-
I had the same issue with a batch of pulled bullets I bought and the problem your going to have is the bullets will have very low neck tension imo they are junk.

I received my latest Dillon Blue Press yesterday. Of some interest is an article by John Kleespies titled "Steel Challenge Shooting Association (SCCA) Performance Gains Through Handloading" (page 55 - 57).
Its an interesting article documenting the benefits of light loads in PCC shooting. Of special interest is his reference to a new Pacesetting Design Tunable Buffer. The website listed for Pacesetting Design (pacesettingdesign.com) comes up as a dead link. So far no luck locating further information on the company (so far).
Has anyone else used this buffer and can give me contact information on the company?
Thanks.
Bill
It’s under Tacoma3g.com adjustable buffer.

Yeah that’s a beautiful pair.

Thank you.
I don’t have a sizer and at this point am not interested in another reloading stop.
I also wanted to stick with coated bullets. Looks like Bear Creek is just straight lead. And I believe Bayou is taking quite awhile to ship.
I was mainly looking for manufacturers with in stock ready to ship, which i know is tough right now.
I was able to get some 357’s from DG and have them in hand. Will load up for testing today.
Take a look at summers bullets as always shipped pretty fast for me .

I’ve picked up some a couple times that was fired one time and reloaded them with minor loads in my nine and they worked fine. I feel confident they will work for one extra firing as long as you keep them on the mild side.

Try looking at rmr bullets they was selling some 95 gr r/n .

Take a filler gage and check how much space you have and get the tape to match what you need.

I have reloaded some of it and noticed no difference between it and any of the other brass’s.

I've been buying Ginex primers from Bosnia-Herzegovina for the past several years - have bought maybe 60K of them. Availability (pre-Covid, of course) seemed to be hit and miss but when I found them they were maybe $22-$23/thou including ship/haz-mat. I'd buy 20K at a time. What a dumbass, should have been buying 100K (or more) at a time!!
Have you been able to get any lately?

No primer sales for me. I'll happily sit on my little supply using them judiciously until this passes. And, it will pass, just like in the past!
That’s the big question will it pass this year or four years from now, maybe we can get some non us companies to start importing them.

Here is a load work up I done a couple years back with sport pistol. Sport pistol is like 231 in a 45 acp with 200 swc imo. Maybe a little cleaner but seems to be a close match.

Summers and brazos has .356;.357 and .358 and probably some more bullet makers.

All that matters is how the bullets perform in your barrel.
Strapping a Timex watch to a propeller does not mean that it will last through your lifestyle (only old folks will remember THAT).
However, coating that flakes off is BAD.
You got me thinking about how old I was when they had that commercial on tv

I bought the spring and bushing from level 10 and I’m glad I did. It really made a big difference the handle comes back to top of the stroke along with the tool head. It felt different at first but I got use to it pretty quick. I’ve had it for about 18 months and it’s still going fine. I don’t think Dillon had the bigger spring and bushing at the time I got the new spring and bushing from level ten.

5.2grains worked good for my 45 with 200 swc. I’m guessing that’s what you are wanting info on ?

Wait a minute, while the above mods are definitely nice, I don’t think you can say they are better than upgrading to the roller handle. That has to be the single best upgrade you can make to the 550 (in my opinion).
And, what are you living the primer slide with? A liquid? Or more of a graphite powder?
I been using action lube plus which is a thin moly grease, I just put a thin film on the bottom and sides of the slide.

Good advice.
Also keep it lubed. As it gets dirty you slowly get used to the dirty feeling, its not until you clean it and start again that you realize how its supposed to feel.
ive got a lot of upgrades on my 550 but the only one i thought made a difference was drilling and tapping the spent primer cup and putting a npt x barb fitting in it and running a hose to a 1 gallon jug.
I agree I’ve never had any problems with the primer system on my 550 in over twenty years. I do put a little lube on my slide after cleaning it and I never tighten the nut that holds the primer tube.

I have a good shooting buddy that’s using 4.55 grains of w-231 with 124 gr pd jhp at 1.12. He’s using a seven pound spring in a ck, never seen it malfunction. I am using the same gun and load except with 4.3 grs of aa#2 always runs like a top. I’ve tried all kind of different loads and the gun runs flat with these low power loads and still functions fine. Both loads are running around 134 pf.

A five gallon bucket would contain 22,341 bullets. And the bucket would weigh 396 pounds.
How do you know it weighs 396 pounds lol.

If you have bent the wrench then you are probably over tighten the nut. It’s not hurting anything but it’s not necessary to go anything over snug.

Can’t you rotate your powder measure just a little to get you a little extra room?
