Most Efficient deprimer/sizing method + misc questions

[jmorris]

Couple questions:
* Are progressive loaders accurate (both bullet seating and powder throwing) to switch over on rifle reloading?
* Do you check/trim 9mm?
* Do you crimp 9mm FMJ? I was looking at a hornady seat/crimp die, but have heard some conflicting reports on whether to crimp 9mm.
* What's the most efficient set up to deprime and resize (without going through the rest of the stages)?

What are your accuracy expectations and what powder are you using. My best progressive rifle loads will shoot sub MOA out to at least 300 yards. I use powders that meter through my measures though.

I have loaded hundreds of thousands of 9mm rounds and trimmed exactly zero of them.

I do not “crimp” to the point of distorting the bullet, so if it doesn’t have a cannelure the “crimp” would be better described as “removing the flare/bell and returning the case to its original position”.

This is the most efficient setup I have for sizing/depriming and swaging.

I'm trying to find a set of dies that do what I want and between things being out of stock everywhere and all the different brands I'm having some difficulties.

A while back I posed the question of the "ultimate" 9mm die set and got a lot of useful responses. It didn't give me a definitive answer, but lead me down alternative paths of fruitful research that I was able to apply while helping a friend set up his recent purchase of a Dillon 750. He started with a Dillon set of dies but that changed after the first couple of thousand rounds. He has pretty much settled on:

1. Lee Undersized resizing die
2. Powder measure with DAA Expanding insert
3. Mr Bullet Feeder die
4. Redding Competition Seating die
5. Lee Factory Crimp die

The above has been pretty much flawless for several thousand rounds

My Dillon 650 has been flawless through 39k of 9mm this year using Dillon dies. The best part is I don't need a Lee CFCD to hide my mistakes.
