Got my new Dillon SDB in .45ACP setup today. I was able to get the powder thrower to throw the right amount and got the bullet seater set to the correct length. I have a problem and several questions. I will number them to make the replies easier.
1. What is the best primer to use with the Dillon primer system? I was using CCI Large Pistol today and was having problems getting the pickup tube to pick them up. One try I could get about 30 in and no more would go no matter how hard I pushed. Another time I could only get about ten. It seems they were getting hung up in the green tip. They slid up and down in the tube fine. I know I'm using the right adapter and tube. Any advice? I also have the Dillon Flip tray. Hope someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
2. I loaded about 10 test rounds on the press today. Over half of the wouldn't go all the way into the case checker. There would be a little bit sticking out of the top. Not much, but they wouldn't just fall into the case checker like factory ammo or some of the others I loaded. Most of this brass was fired in a Glock 21, the rest in a 1911 or HK USP. Is this a case of the Glock buldge or is this something wrong with my crimp. My OAL on all of the rounds were 1.250 or 1.251. I know length isn't an issue? A'm I going to need to get a FCD or an Undersize die from EGW for my single stage?

On the sizing... check and make sure the sizing die comes all the way down to and lightly touches the shellplate when the handle is fully down....
It's down as far as it will go.
