Hello, haven't been here for awhile. I was out at the range today and had a terrible session. About half the way into my reloads, I started to get squib loads. Now I just didn't have one. I had a half a dozen or more. Shooting a Springfield XD9 4" service model and the reloads where CFE pistol...

Hello, I had to take down my 550 reloader for a week or two to have some electrical work done on my reloading room. When I took off the powder system I laid it down flat on some boxes. When I installed everything back and tried to reload some .357 mag rounds it was dumping all over on the top of...

Went to Big5 to pick up some .380 ammo. I have been buying one box at a time due to the extremely high prices and to try to ease the pain. One box of Sig Sauer 100gr .380 was $25.00 out the door. That's it! I am going to pick up some dies for my press and start reloading in that caliber. Even if...

Hello, I have a problem with loading that when I deprime my cases, I get a bunch of spent primers spitting out and laying on the the shelf of the press and not into the cup. Then when I pull the handle down it gets stuck due to spent primers laying on the press. What could be causing this? It...

Hello everyone, had some problems at the range today with some .45's that I have loaded. I loaded some 230 grain copper plated RN with 4.9grains of Titegroup. Oal is aprox 1.238"-1.240". I was having some jamming problems with my Kimber Custom II. I have a Norinco .45 and all from this batch...

Hello everyone, I am having a hard time getting a handle on using copper plated bullets for loading in .45acp 230 RN. They are so smooth that I am having to fool around with setting the bullet on the case a lot. I have to fiddle with it a lot to get them to align fairly straight for seating...

Hello, having a problem with using Winchester small pistol primers in my Dillon 550. For some reason they don't feed properly thru the primer pickup cup. I have been trying some CCI primers and am not having a problem with those. These are both small pistol primers in which i am reloading 9mm at...

Well, after all the great advice I got from this forum and tips on what to do about my dilemma on reloading 9mm 147 grain bullets, I got them to work with no problems whatsoever. Not one jam, misfire, ect... every single one shot down range. I am reloading them at 1.130" with 5.0 grains of...

Hello, I am having some problems loading some 9mm 147grain LFN. I am having some bulging cases. I don't know if it's from not enough crimp or the cases being bad. I am seating the bullets at 1.100" and using 4.8 grains of HS-6. Is this the correct COL? That's what the manual is stating. I have...

Hello, I have a dillon 550b that was passed on down from my brother and I have been reloading .45acp with it currently. But I ran across this case when cleaning my brass and I can't make what origin this case came from. It fits into my .45acp dies really tight. So I am not going to use them. It...

Why is my Fail Safe rod bent on my 550? Hello, having a heck of a time getting this powder drop linkage bar adjusted on my 550. I tried to figure this thing out for about two hours and finally gave up and decided to come back to it. I have just made the conversion over to .45acp from .357...

Wow, stupid California that's all I can say. Purchased a Bersa Firestorm .380 in Dec last year and just found out that I was turned down for the background check due to me buying another gun that I bought in the same month. Actually I didn't even know this law existed in Ca, but doesn't surprise...

Hello everyone, I am getting back into reloading after being away for around six years. I picked up a nice Dillon 550b from my brother who had it set up for .357 mag. I want to reload .45acp. So I picked up a nice set of used RCBS .45acp dies off Ebay in which I am using to reload with. On the...
