I always dump all the powder after each loading session even though I have dedicated setups for each caliber I load. I have had trouble with Titegroup clumping from moisture in my basement. I use AA#5 in most of my pistol calibers without that problem. My 550b usually only fluctuates .1 up or...

Your right about being new to rifle reloading but I have been reloading for pistol about 10 years but I do most of that on a Dillon 550b.. Also your right about the muddy mind as I just burned some chicken on the grill for the 4th as I was busy running down stairs to my bench trying to see what...

My book shows a C.O.L. of 3.210" not the 3.180" you mention. I am using the 7th edition and for bullet # 2730 my length of 3.17" would be .004 short. I am probably going to load to the cannelure and see if the cases show any pressure problems. I am guessing with 57 grains of H4831 which is about...

I am loading for a Reminton Model 700. I was alway taught to load to the cannalure if a bullet had one so the shortness of the C.O.L concerned me.

I am reloading for .270 Winchester. I am Loading 57 grains of H4831 and using Hornady 130 sp bullets. My Hornady book shows an overall length of 3.210". The 130 bullets have a cannalure and if I seat them to the cannalure my C.O.L is 3.170". All the brass is the same overall length of 2.53". My...

Good to hear from you again Sarge. Your feedback to all my posts has always been a help to me. Even if your post did not apply to me I still read them as I always gleaned a little something I might not have known before. All that aside its just good to know your still with us. I am 57 so I have...

I shoot my 28-2 mostly with 38 special loads. All of them Jhps's. I have no problem with keeping it clean enough so that it shoots more accuratly than I can. I shoot a few 357 through it as I don't see the need to load for both very much with the specials being so accurate and fun to shoot. LD

He really helped me out with my loads when I picked up my pc 945. Thanks Sarge and come back soon. LD

I noticed him missing also. I haven't any idea what has happened but hope all is ok.

I heard that Cabelas had about 7300 back orders for primers. This was coming from one of there customer service reps, who knows how true it is. All I know is I have had mine on back order since late April.

I am getting ready to start reloading for my .270 but I think I will probably do it on my Rockchucker and not my 550b. I have heard thaat some of the rifle powders do not meter well in the 550b. I will be using H4831 and am not sure how well it would do. I will probably drop the charge into the...

No the cases that I am reloading I have fired several times myself. As for the question about over belling I would say I probably don't bell enough as the bullet when seated by hand has a hard time staying straight in the case as I try to bell just enough to get the bullet seated. The walnut...

I have always shot FMJ in my autos and both in my wheel guns. Problem is I can't get any FMJs in the calibers and grain weights I have always shot and will eventually have to go to lead if availability doesn't change.

I use AA#5 and get very giid accuracy and it also meters well in my 550b and is about aas clean a powder as I have found. LD

Is this powder drop you mention a Dillon product? If not do you know who manufacters it and where I might be able to purchase one at. Also I had never heard of adding dishwashing soap to my walnut media when I tumble but will give that a try also. I do have some polishing liquid for case...

I have loaded thousands of 9mm on the 550b not to mention the same for 38 specials 40 S&W 45 ACP and 44 mag. The 9mm seems to give me the most trouble with the sticking. As for correct die size this was a brand new die set I bought from Dillon and I am sure it is correct. I think I will go with...

When loading on my 550b especially 9mm my powder drop tube bells the case mouth it seems to cause my case to stick in on the bell die. This sticking occurs when I try to move the handle forward to lower the belled case. I am providing a very small amount of belling to the case mouth just enough...

I use 4.5 grains of Titegroup with Winchester 230 FMJ bullets and shoot extremely tight groups at 15 yards with my PC945. Powder seems to all burn and my gun is not hard to clean after 100 rounds.

I have well over 5000 rounds through my M&P 9 with no problems. I used to have a Glock 23 but hated the trigger and sold it to my the M&P 9. The trigger on my M&P 9 was not very good when I got it but it has smoothed greatly. I have the M&P 40 also that I do not carry as a duty weapon and it has...

I get the alerts all the time from some of the supliers but I have never been able to get to them fast enough and they are already gone by the time I try to order.
