    Dillon powder dispenser

    Dillon Powder Measure. When I bought the Dillon RL550B, the first powder I tried was 3031. I had set the Machine up and was ready to reload. I worried with it deep into the early Morning and finally gave up. I never could get it to thro a consistent charge. I am in a different time zone...

    Mini 14 jams

    I had a Problem with my Mini doing the same thing. Disassembled it and while fooling with it, a small shaving of Brass fell out of the Bolt where the Firing Pin is located. i didn't realize exactly where it came from. I put it back together and it hasn't failed to fire since. I think it has...

    pressure question

    I recently reloaded 25-06 with Reloader19. The Lyman 49th edition told me with a 87 grn bullet and 50.5 grns of R-19, my velocity would fall into the 2950 fps range. All cases were trim to length. Each Powder charge was weight. OAl was set at 3.096. Upon firing these rounds, I was shocked...

    Dillon powder dispenser

    Extruded Powders do not work well in the Dillon Powder Dispenser. It should tell you in your Dillon manual about the use of these tyoes of Powders.

    Looking for .25-06

    It won't "knock em down" like a 30/06, but it will turn their insides to Jello. I shot one for years. I have killed Whitetails with 87grn to 117grn Hornady. I gaurantee they will not travel over 30 steps. and will collapse. Shoots flat and can be reloaded to shoot even flatter. Like the man...

    Tips on the 25-20 anyone?

    I started reloading for this Caliber a short while back. I made the mistake of trying to reload on a progressive press. I found that the cases are about as thick as Prince Albert cigarette paper. I ruined about 9 or 10 before I got going with it. After that I started using the Single Stage...

    How much powder have you burned?

    I've been reloading about 10 years for .223, 25-20, 243, 25-06 and .308. Some like the 25-20 doesn't get fired very often. I'm still on the first pound since I started reloading for it. .223, about 15 lbs. 25-06 about 5 lbs. .243 about 3lbs. .308 3lbs. By some standards, that's not alot...

    Good general-purpose powder for loading .223/5.56 ??

    WC 844, WC 748, H 335 any of these meter well and can be very accurate with the right bullet.

    thinking about reloading

    I started reloading about 8 or 9 years ago on a Dillon Rl550B. As Kingmt. and Walkalong are telling you, it's not that hard. I make jokes about starting on a progressive. It was interesting, but not hard. After you fail to get a primer in a few rounds and powder is all over the press, or...

    Finally took the plunge with Dillon

    Like Kingcreek said, most of the imperfect rounds you make will be something you did to cause it. Only problems I've ever had with my 550B, were self induced. Read directions carefully when setting up your Press. When you get it dialed in, LOAD AWAY. Robert

    Reloading Frequency

    If I have Components, all the Supplies I need, I'll load until no more Brass, or components run out. Which ever comes first.

    All I want to do is to trim my rifle brass....

    I also used the Lee depth Gauge & Shell holder for a long time. I have Athritis in my Hands now. It worked fine. Chucked in a 3/8 Drill. Hands got so bad, I finally bought a Wilson abought 4 months ago. It has a Micrometer on it. Easy to set up Trim length. Once you get the feel of it...

    How many handloaders in US?

    I live in Mississippi, my drive for components is about 25 miles. I know several guys in my Town that reload. It is a small Town of about 1500 people. I think there are 8 reloaders here. The place I buy components is expensive, but I guess by the time you pay Hazmat fees and shipping, it...

    Spherical Ball Rifle Powders?

    I have used just about all of the Powder you guys have mentioned. Everything but xbr8208. Never tried it. I have used H335 for the .223 for several years, no problems. I think I'm going to try this 8208 and see how I like it.

    Hand Held Priming vs Press Priming

    I have tried it both ways, press and hand primers. It's like the Guy said, "whatever floats your boat". I see no advantages of disadvantages in either. If you use a progressive, why not use it all, you paid for it. Same with a Single stage, you bought the hand primer, why not use it..

    Quality Reloading Setup For Under $500?

    I agree with what has been said above from the other Guys. My best advice is to start with something simple. I made the mistake of buying a Dillon RL550B right off of jump street. Boy, was that a mistake. There is entirely to much going on, on a Progressive press for the inexperienced...
