Dillon 550B Primer Problems

[dentkimterry]

Do like I did and buy several hundred 45acp brass with small primer pockets!

I fail to understand peoples near phobic reaction with changing from small to large primer system on a 550....it is very simple and easy to do.

Why do people think that it is SO difficult?

Hmmmm, makes me wonder if the rounds I've loaded with 3.2gr will even exit the barrel. That wouldn't be funny.

Here's what 3.5 gr loaded w/cast lead in .38spcl cases will do out of a 20" lever gun. With this load, I swear I could pull the trigger, lift my head and watch the bullet arch into the target.

I'm now loading around 4.9gr in .357 cases.
