I had to do this on my .223 aluminum dropper. I used the VLD chamfer tool on my case prep machine.

Yep. When I decided that the RL1100 was what I wanted I searched to see who was taking preorders. At that time all I could find was Immortobot, and I paid in full on September 13th. Dillon has been prioritizing their own direct orders that they didn't even start accepting until well after I had placed mine elsewhere.

I got a shipping notification for the two I ordered as well. I look forward to trying them.

I've had my Ammobot Rev3 for like 6 months. Still waiting on my RL1100 that I paid for 8 months ago. Hopefully I will soon be able to tell you if it is worth it.

It would be nice if there was simply a way to return them for reuse.

I've seen worse flash holes, too, bit these stopped my press dead. That has never happened with 9mm for me. I decapped them in my single stage with a Lee universal decapper and I think it smashed the burr down. It looked worse when I looked into the still primed case.

Nickel steel alloy with an aluminum head.

I ran into this USA brass in a recent batch of range pickup a friend gave me. The flash holes have some pretty severe burrs, and aren't completely centered. I have had several of them stop my 650 dead because the decapping pin didn't go into the flash hole.

Is Vectan GM3 listed?

I had my G2 set up next to my Labradar the other day and the average velocities were within just a few FPS.

It is in the same family as Prima V and SV, just without the cool name. From the pics I have found they look identical, but the GM3 is supposedly the slowest of the 3.

It literally looks like nerds candy, just small and black. It is very inconsistent in size, but once it settled in it metered very well. From the Nobelsport Italy site:

I know this is an old thread..... I had purchased a full case of GM3 about 6 months ago (I should have bought a lottery ticket at the same time..) and I finally got around to testing it. I filled my Dillon powder measure with it and started with a couple of throws, working up to 4.40gr (measured on a Gempro 250). I was loading this under a 115gr Berry's round nose at 1.150" with an S&B SPP. By the time I was 40 rounds in it had worked up to 4.65gr, but I decided not to fight with the measure and separated out the last 7 loads to chronograph. Extremely consistent results, given that this was actually mixed brass (Win, FC, Speer mostly). The powder is very clean burning, even in the blowback PCC, has little odor and I noticed no smoke while shooting. Recoil impulse was surprisingly smooth, with none of the sharp jab that I attribute to Titegroup. I paced off 40 yards and I was easily able to keep a double tap in an A zone sized area with a .11 split. I then loaded a mag for my CZ P10C with random rounds out of the box that likely ranged from 4.40gr to 4.65gr. The results were not as consistent, which is to be expected, but all of them made power factor. Recoil in the handgun was similar to Titegroup with a fairly good snap, which is also to be expected with a 115gr bullet and a fast powder. I look forward to trying this powder with a 147gr bullet in my suppressed AR9 pistol, as it is far cleaner and cooler burning than Titegroup. Case fill also seems to be a fair bit more than Titegroup, at approximately 2/3 full with a 4.65gr charge. It would easily overflow a case with a double charge of what I was loading, or with a lower charge at the very least be very visible. It certainly took longer than most powders I am used to to "settle in" and start throwing consistently. Load data is non existent with this powder, but, with the lot I have, comparing the book loads of Alliant Sport Pistol to it, the velocity and powder charge match up very well so far.

Still nowhere near as crazy looking as Vectan GM3

I have to add an update to my disappointment with the Primer Pro. Since day 1, it has hated my preferred S&B primers. It either wouldnt feed them through the plate, or they would come out upside down. I changed plates to no avail. Fast forward to this week as I have been loading self defense ammo to stack deep, and I use a different primer for those; the CCI small pistol magnum. These go through the Primer Pro like butter. Zero upside down primers, and it is FAST. 400 primers filled into 4 tubes in like 2 minutes. I haven't even cleaned the machine since the last time I tried the S&B primers in it.

N340 is so slow that you are going to have zero problems.

Honestly, I think Dillon seating dies suck. The Hornady custom grade die seats the bullets far straighter for me.

45 Colt is a very low pressure round and uses large pistol primers. The flat nose bullets will not contact the recessed primers, so they are your best bet. Make sure you stay away from the hotter Ruger/TC loads.

Looks like some good content. Subscribed to your channel. Is that 4.25 of Clean Shot?

These are honestly some of the easiest cases to reload because of how smoothly they take a primer.

Soft recoil? Ditch that powder. CFE Pistol is a slow powder and will have more recoil than something fast, like Titegroup, N320, Sport Pistol, Clean Shot or GM3.

HS510C

Mine would not feed Eggleston conical 115gr coated bullets at all. Everything else has worked well, but hollowpoint or flat point bullets work best due to the smooth way they stack in the dropper.

I went with a Hornady seating and crimping die for my RL1100 (which still isn't here) since I have an Ammobot with a powder check sensor that I will be using. I set the die up in my single stage and played around with adjusting the seating and crimping, and it seems to work fine. It isn't as smooth feeling as dedicated dies, however.

I should do that on my 650; the case feed shakes like crazy.
