Mike21STI Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm loading .40 on a dillon 650. I have an issue with brass stamped federal NT. The primer always gives me issues while attempting to seat them. The pockets seem to be too tight. I'm using cci small pistol primers. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, should I try swaging them or just toss that brass and move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i do reload them i put them in my "do not pickup when at range" ammo box.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe4d Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I used to get tons of military 9mm brass with crimped primer pockets, Id separate it out and hand ream it before it went into the reload pile.https://www.amazon.com/Lyman-Reloading-Primer-Pocket-Reamer/dp/B000NOOQY4 I imagine you could do the same. Also I see 650, vs my 550. IIRC one of the big advantages back in the day with the 650 was it could use the extra station to deal with the militarybrass stuff. Maybe thats all you need. Another issue.. CCI's are either harder or out of round,, or at least used to be and take more effort to load. Maybe try winchester or federal primers.

Hi-Power Jack Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I throw away any headstamp, even WW or RP, if it has NT after the brand, e.g. WW NT . Out it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll separate that brass and run it through the reamer that you recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banacek Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 RCBS # 9481Thx, thats just a swager, i already have the Dillon, thought this was a new option.Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joedirt199 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Just a cheaper option. Sorry for the confusion. I keep a single stage loaded the with swager so when I come across a crimped die in my dillon I can knock it out and get back to business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_shoots_fast Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I just separated a bunch of the NT primers to be processed. I have a swagit for my Dillon and that works ok for those cases. I’ve been running them thru twice and it seems to work ok. Still have some that are a pain in the ass to seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
