Loving the pics guys. Yea we caught a few Reds,Speckled trout and a few small Snook. Managed to lose probably a 32~35 inch Snook about 6 inches from the net. Heading out tomorrow again. Next project is loading some 223 for a buddy of mine that is a gator trapper. Yup once in a while he needs to...

Sorry took so long to get back. Here's what I did: cleaned and reset all the dies. Opened bell just a bit. Set OAL to 1.063..before crimping I was pretty close. Played with crimp just a bit and I was so close just not perfect that I decided to try it. When I say not perfect you could drop one in...

Thanks everyone. I'll reread all this and post back when I have time to get back out to the loading shed. Still have a job , 2.5 acres to mow and a boat that needs me to go Red-fish and Snook hunting one day over most weekends. :)

Pretty sure it's just a Taper crimp die. Had a slight pause if you will sliding calipers from mouth to base closer to the mouth. Slight adjustment of taper die and that's gone. Also reduced the bell a bit. Here's what I did last night with much improvement. I was getting pretty close so I...

I can give that a try in the morning. Bullets confirmed .356 is is also the same lot that I already have couple hundered, give or take, made that plunk just fine. I have never measured a crimp. Do this with a loaded round I assume as close to the case mouth as possible? Is there a proper amount...

When I resize the brass it slides in and out of the gauge and barrel both. Should be good there right? If so I'll look harder at the crimp.

I'm trying to load 115 Gn Missouri RN ( Grooved). I've done it before and still have quite a few that plunk in my gauge. I've also used my barrel to plunk. Xd9. Those are mixed head stamps. The OAL of those is 1.060. It's been a while and I can't remember how I did it. I'm using RCBS 9mm...

Thanks all. I'll just shoot these bullets as is. I'll by cannelured next time.

So I shot 5 yesterday and measured the 6th. It was almost .004 longer than when it went in. Because this was such a light load should I try for a bit more snug roll crimp? Maybe screw the crimp die 1/4 turn ?

From Redding: We no longer have any of the #11 stems available but I am send you a #12. This is designed for the 9mm so there will be more of the stem that does not get threaded into the die but it should work fine for you.... I have to say as long as I have been buying Redding dies this is the...

I step out the door onto the lawn and dump whats left back into original container. I have 1 hopper that has a yellow tint to it because of leaving powder in to long. Just forgot about it. I dumped that powder out.

Over 1/2 the fun of any man cave is building it. Enjoy.

My favorite round. 270 130gr Accubond. Any 130 gn bullet will work fine as long as you know it will do what you want. I have loaded for 4-5 different 270's. All hunting rifles. And they all seem to like the same powder. H-4831. I've loaded for a 2 Mossbergs, couple of Remington 700's, Savage I...

According to Midway where I bought the die t's Manufacturer Part # 94282. Did not buy as a set. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/101260806?pid=730033

I've emailed Redding I'll see what they have to say. (Note to self:Should contact Dillon also.) Could be as simple as a longer stem. For now it's working with the bullets I have. Wad cutters may be a different story. As far as the die lock nut it's by no means a hindrance. I don't understand...

I agree but the die is sitting on the shell plate and the stem can not be screwed in any further. Maybe Redding makes another stem a bit longer. I'll look into that if I think I'll need it. But at this point it's setting those round noses well inside the cylinder. Now wad cutters may be a...

Thanks all. Thought I would be OK but never hurts to ask. These are light loads to start, taper crimped. Starting with 4.7 of 700X. Walk: I'll try those next. Gotta use up what I have first. I over collect way to much stuff. 243WinXB: I'll be sure to check OAL after a few rounds.

Die just touching the plate.

So started getting the Dillon set up for 357 Mag. Using Hodgdon data ( web). The OAL they listed was 1.580 Screwed my R edding seating die till it wont go any further and I still only get to 1.630. Now this fits perfectly fine in the cylinder. AM I ok? First revolver I've loaded for.? S&W 357...

I personally get my groups as tight as I can with my favorite primer. Last thing I do is swap out primers to see if any tighten that group any more. My understanding is match primers should ignite almost exactly the same each time. And for accuracy we like reputability.
