I have a new Dillon XL750 with case feeder coming Monday. I am planning to get the quick detach Ultramount from Inline Fab. Just wanted to check on some of the other stuff since they are having a sale and I'd like to get everything at once. For a light, I think I'm going to go with the KMS2...

thanks again for the continued thoughts. Yes, all loading can be done on a single stage, no doubt. I'm just at the point where I want something faster and more efficient. I might or might not shoot at the volumes necessary, but for me, I'm just at the point where I want to get a progressive...

thanks for all of the thoughts everyone. I have been doing some more reading. Is this the correct die position in the following situations? Are these the most common scenarios? Normal operation with the Dillon 3 die set: 1. Size and deprime 2. Flare and powder drop 3. Skip 4. Bullet seat 5...

Hi all, I am a fairly new reloader, only have a couple years loading handgun ammo on a Lee Turret press in single stage mode. I'd like to move to a progressive setup and have decided on the Dillon 750. Can you check my list below and see if there's anything I'm missing? Also I'm only familiar...

thanks for the thoughts. I have the Lee dies and the Berry's 220gr also, looking for subsonic loads. My AR pistol seems to cycle ok with factory subsonic loads now, so hopefully my reloads will be fine, too. I bought a lb of CFE BLK and Lil Gun to try out for these loads. I have some spent...

I'd like to start reloading 300 BLK. I've seen the Sheridan slotted gauge mentioned but wanted to ask before committing to a $60 tool. Is this the way to go when reloading 300BLK?

I guess I need to do some more research shooting thru a sealed suppressor. I saw some that said it was ok and then other said no. Maybe I should contact the manufacturer. I did come across those Missouri Bullets and the price is very attractive.

I think its probably in the range of being acceptable, although I'm far from an expert. However, the price per bullet is more than the Berry's so not sure that's the direction I want to go, especially for plinking ammo.

Any particular ones to recommend?

thanks - yeah, a sale at Midway was exactly what I've been hoping for. 10% off and free shipping would be great. Appreciate the thoughts.

Would like to start loading these and have been searching around. Will be shooting thru a suppressor so not sure if I want to go coated. So I think that leaves plated. I've found the Berry 220gr Spire point for $115 for 500. I think that puts it about at .22 each. I saw mention of a 203gr...

Thanks Jim, being new(ish) I don't have as much judgement available, so hence why I check with you guys, too. ;)

I have a 100ct bag of 38SPL bullets. they say 125gr "TMJ" I think. A quick google search tells me this might be Total Metal Jacket. If this is the case, can I use the same data for FMJ? Was planning on using HP38/w231. The Hodgen site has load data for 125gr Hornady XTP, listing the min at...

Well, it seems Cabelas is now charging tax in my state since they purchased Bass Pro. So I think that extra $30 seals the deal. I have some Christmas debt and just really don't need this, so yeah, I might just pass and deal with the 6.5 creed loads when I come to that point. great post...

ok, thanks, I guess I'm buying!
