evilbeef54 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 In my 650 supercomp was fine with the 9mm/38s plate. With my 1050 it gets crushed quite a bit. If you have a 9mm shellplate id try it first. Esp on a 550 with no case feeder. How would the case feeder effect either? Just wondering cause I do have the case feeder on my 550 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansedgli Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 If you put it in by hand its less likely to jam up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbeef54 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 (edited) ah, ok... Makes sense. I made 30 dummy rounds last night in 38sc with the 9mm shell plate, everything fed super smooth, no issues there, but looking at the base of the brass the markings from the sizing die didn't go 90* to all the cases if that makes sense. Again I'm still new here, so not sure if that means anything? edit: here's pictures to explain what im looking at. Is this a problem, or is this normal? I dont have a 38sc case gauge yet, i'm planning on getting a hundo (love my 40 cal one) but i dont know yet wether im gonna be loading 38s or 38sc and dont really want to spend $200 in case gauges Edited January 17, 2016 by evilbeef54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superdude Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Use your barrel as your case gauge. You won't be shooting them from a case gauge. Do they fit your barrel's chamber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evilbeef54 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 all 30 38SC that i ran through the 550 with the 9/40/38s shell plate plunk tested just fine, that is not to say that i may not run into issues down the road, but at least it does work i guess. I also have the 223 shell plate which i will most likely use. Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I have both and i'd say the SC seems to feed slightly better, but may have slightly more extraction problems due to being rimless. Would definitely choose one or the other, and NOT mess around with keeping track of both kinds of brass during reloading and which gun needs which brass!
