JBaum

Take the barrel out of the gun. Grab a fired case with a dead primer, and put the MG 124 JHP in that case and push it gently in until the case hits the end of the chamber. Carefully pull the test cartridge out and measure the COAL. Take around 0.015" from that and that would be considered your MAX COAL for that projectile and barrel. Every barrel is different even if the guy has the same exact gun as you. Always check yours first.

Purchased Jan 10th for DAA, they said they placed the order with Dillon December 20th and was quoted a 24 week lead time. Then I heard it got pushed to 36 weeks, so I canceled and ordered directly from Dillon last week without dies, and it was at my door 3 days later. Just buy other dies to get you by and wait 36 weeks for Dillon dies if they are a must have for you. I just took mine off my xl750....and then ordered a 4set of Lee dies off eBay to try.

If you are able to direct mount it to your bench no further than an inch or so you’ll be fine. Anything much further and the downstroke will hit the edge of your bench. My 4” inline fab mount will be here Monday.

I have mine adjusted so the mouth of my brass goes to the end of the step. You may want to screw the die down just a hair more. Also if your top step on the daa powder funnel is 0.356” then it’s just worn out and you may need to get another one.
