For When the Levee Breaks, they really found a diverse group to play. If you find any others that sound as good as this one, please list it. Really like hearing the Maori woman singing.

Are you on Discord RLD server? If so, you can ask the Dillon guy directly.

Dillon carbide pistol dies are very good. I'm using a separate seating and crimping die because setup is much simpler with different length 9mm cases. Lots of others make dies which will work just as well as the Dillon's and are available. Buy what you can and use them. When the Dillon's come back in stock, you have a decision to make.

Ammoseek is showing 10.7c/bullet. Your manufacturer is looking pretty good.

I would say to look at the Dillon 550 for 1k/month. Your reloading looks like it's limited to small primers, so changing calibers is pretty straight forward.

Quoted the wrong quote. Ben Stoeger Pro Shop sells the blue primer tips: Tip

Berry's 147gr with CFE pistol 3.95gr. 1891 rounds / lb. 14,1772 rounds / 8lb. Or something like that.

Things just cost more post-pandemic. If you think Dillon's prices are bad, wait til you start shopping for primers.

Dillon has a separate loader for 50 cal stuff. The 550's will load up to 50 Beowulf, 50 Action Ex or 500 S&W.

What's your application? Indoor, outdoor, small caliber, large caliber?

I wonder if diatomaceous earth would help. The diatomes gets between the insect and it's shell killing the insect. University of Hawaii might be able to help getting amounts right for your area or disprove this suggestion entirely.

I'll see that and raise you Brian Kelly with a cajun accent after 1 day at LSU: UTubeLink

Manual loading, 1050 and 1100 are pretty close. Automated loading, get the Mark 7 for the 1050. Dillon or Mark 7 for the 1100.

You'll get a better fit on onside of the seating plug vs the other.

Not Johnny_Chimpo, but one source was here: https://www.capitalcartridge.com/product-p/smp-q05000b.htm Another source: https://www.targetsportsusa.com/cci-small-pistol-primers-500-case-of-5000-14-p-111600.aspx 0.11c/primer or $119.80/k. Kinda high, but they are available.

The CA bill limiting to 10rds is being challenged at the Supreme Court: https://www.supremecourt.gov/Search.aspx?FileName=/docket/docketfiles/html/public\21-1194.html So this bill was passed by the WA senate at 11pm on the last day possible. So they did sneak it in if what I'm reading is correct.

This didn't pass in the time allotted, correct?

Discord is great for member to member brass sales. Try ammoseek to compare some commercial operations.

Keep both. Set one up for small primer (1050, 9mm and .223) and the other set up for whatever you're doing next.

Shouldn't be any different. The carbide dies have a long lead time.
