....on Dillon 650 press? Reason I ask is was watching video of guy talking about how he set off a primer on a 1050 when a SPP piece of .45ACP got thru his sort. Trying to smoosh a LPP in the SPP case, it set it off.
So that got me to thinking, could same thing happen to me? Or similar. Since I'm new to the 650, I don't have a good "feel" yet. Have just used Lee hand prime which was simple - it just went in or something was wrong. If something was wrong, you felt it right away. Worst case was a primer halfway in with lots of resistance so just pop the whole shellplate and hit with universal decap die.
So.....if military crimps sneak by for example, am I just going to feel a lot of resistance on that forward push to seat? If I just force it, is it going to seat anyway, possibly shaving the primer the way the Lee hand prime would? Or is that likely to set one off? CCI #41 or Wolf SRM
Same with the .45ACP incident from the guy's 1050 story....Lee hand prime is just a dead stop and so obvious something is wrong not an issue. Would it require such an abnormal amount of force on the 650 (LPP trying to go into SPP hole) to crush it or set it off that I would just know something was off and stop? Or can the 1050 priming on downstroke apply that much force but a 650 on forward stroke really can't without going ape that its a non-issue?
The 650 being new to me AND priming on press new to me just worrying a bit. Need to do 1800 .223, then my next setup is a run of 1400 .45ACP so as I'm learning these new things will have both potential issues of missed crimps or SPP 45 brass....
I know there is a lot of SPP .45ACP brass in my mix since I've had several different people with me shooting .45. So even if I'm 99.9% accurate sorting by primer size (and they all start looking the same after a while....) that's still 1 per 1000 sneaking by....
