NMBOpen Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just installed the Lee undersize die to replace the Dillon sizing die for .38 Super. No other changes beyond the initial setup of the sizing die. Just loaded my first batch and had difficulty coming off the powder die, which I was used to with .45ACP.

Ace38super Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Just installed the Lee undersize die to replace the Dillon sizing die for .38 Super. No other changes beyond the initial setup of the sizing die. Just loaded my first batch and had difficulty coming off the powder die, which I was used to with .45ACP. I use the Lee U die also in my 550 for .38 Super. I use Hornady One Shot lube on the brass and don't have sticking issues any more. You should not need to adjust other dies. If your case belling is OK you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wide45 Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) New brass likes to stick on the powder funnel. Nothing to do with the U die. I also like using a small amount of One Shot. Edited January 26, 2008 by wide45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
