I use the Wilson and also the Sheridan cutaway gauge, I like the cutaway as it has shown me a couple of times what is going on with the case when it doesn't fit the gauge. I have also ran my loads in multiple rifles without any issues,

This little kit has served me well over the years, just put the tumbler in a corner somewhere, I have even ran the thing outside. The whole kit is about $82.00 on Amazon,

I load a lot of Hollow base 45ACP from Berry's but not in 40S&W. I have found that I had to increase the charge weight with the hollow base as compared to non hollow base. I attribute it to there is a little more case volume due to the hollow base of the bullet. As always work up all loads from...

Yes, I have been running into a lot more lately, the WIN NT brass is what I have been seeing

Yep, a lot of suppliers have switched to the SPP for the 45 ACP,

Another thing to keep in mind is the actual bullet that you are loading. Different bullets can have a different OAL depending on the style you are using. This is where case volume comes into play with different bullet designs and can effect the powder charge even though you are seating to the...

I switched to VV N320 years ago and is my go to powder for pistol. Very clean burning powder and the best thing that I like about it is that I can use it in all my pistol loads, 9mm, 40S&W and 45 ACP with excellant results.

Well I grade things a little different for my handgun shooting, when I go shooting with my handguns I grade everything on center mass. I shoot at different distances as well as moving. I tend to use silhouette targets so if I'm on center mass I give myself an A, :):thumbup:

Check on Gun Broker would be your best bet,

All I do is toss them in the tumbler for cleaning then de-cap and store for priming. I have never reamed primer pockets on 9mm, way to much brass and not a lot is crimped. I usually find out a pocket is crimped when priming, if it won't seat it goes into the recycle bin.

This does seem like an annomaly for sure, I have loaded 1000's 45ACP with mixed brass and all I have ever used is CCI LPP. Have you checked the primer plunger on the press? Is it inserted all the way, (not familiar with your press). Hopefully you can get thru this issue with little problems,

As others have mentioned this is not unusual and I see the same thing until dialed in with brass in all stations. I tend to see a difference of .003 to .005 during a loading session and I think a lot of this is due to the variations in the bullet more than the press. I can have 5 or 6 in a row...

Voted for VV, great powder and burns real clean and I use it for 9mm, 40S&W and aslo 45ACP. Now with that said I use N320

I also shoot a lot of these, one thing that I noticed though due to the hollow base is that I had to up the charge weight a little. These shoot very good and I use them for my wife's 1911 and my FNX 45 Tactical. I use VVN320 as my go to powder also,

I have the Sheridan cutaway 223 case gage and I also have the L.E. Wilson gage, I use them both as they do different functions when checking the cartridge.
