Decapping/sizing not sizing

[drdre352]

I have the Dillen 650 press and picked up a Dillon carbide 9mm die set to load 9major.  The one that I have for mine are actually flares the case wide so I can relatively seat the bullet. This one doesn’t seem to flare it out any. I have it set at the same distance as the one for my minor ammo.  Am I missing some adjustment?

The sizing die isn't supposed to flare the case at all, that would be the job of the powder funnel. 

 

I may be misunderstanding your post but I think you have your die functions confused

Sounds like you previously used the Mighty Armor 9mm die, which resizes just to spec. The Dillon 9mm resizing die undersizes the brass and therefore prevents bullet setback by case tension. To bell the top of the brass you have to use a powder drop funnel. Many prefer Mister Bullet Feeder powder funnel for this process. There are many threads on Enos here people discuss what works for them. Do a search and check them out.

CopyI bought this used and first time using this quick change unit.  This is the powder funnel die that came with it.  I will search more on it then.  Thanks for the direction!

Looks like a HTC funnel because it has the step, Dillon's don't. I like those powder funnels because they don't bell or at least the way I adjust them they don't. Just run them down so the step enters the case then the bullets sit right in there perfectly straight.

So just to clarify…lower the die until I get a step/widening of the case?

Follow these instructions for perfect powder funnel settings!  From the MBF founder himself!

I like a .385-.390" case mouth after flare

The sizing die doesn't flare the case, the powder funnel does. I use a Mr Bullet Feeder powder funnel and a U die.

Copy.  Thanks all.  Made the adjustment and got it where it needs to be!
