I never empty my 3 hoppers and load in an unheated detached garage. I leave a label attached to each hopper describing the load and powder. I always use the same 3 powders and leave them in my house. There is some discoloration in the lower hopper where there is always powder. No problems so...
If you think single to turret was an improvement, wait till you go progressive. I have 2 dillons and then got a classic turret thinking that it would be ok for .38spl since I do not shoot the caliber much. The ammo is good, but 100 per hour kills me. Also, "I can't drive, 55!"
Coated bullets are one of the greatest things to hit the reloading scene in years. Buy them. Shoot them, Love them. I can not attest to the velocity claims. I load them soft.
I would forget loading shotgun shells as the cost of lead shot has driven up prices to the point that it may be cheaper to go to walmart and buy factory rounds.
Perhaps a heavier gun with small grips would be a good idea. I do not enjoy shooting a shield or xds or kel-tec in 9mm either. Try a full sized 1911 in 9mm with thin grips.
Mad chemist, I use a S&W pro series 1911 9mm mostly but I also shoot a glock 34, xd9 tactical, and xds in 9mm. BTW, I was a chemistry teacher before retirement.
I too have found S&B primers hard to seat. A close look will show that the shoulder of the S&B primer is more squared than say a rounded Win primer. The squared shoulder works better in a Vibra-prime. The S&B goes bang but has an odd smell when fired.
Let's go back to the original question. I have had surgery on both elbows and have found that 3.75 grs Bullseye with 124 gr Bayou Bullets and an OAL of 1.135 in makes an accurate soft shooter.
