Dillon 650 question

[XDJYo]

Well---I checked my log----I have loaded 9300 rounds since March 10th.

9MM, 10Mm, 45 on the 650 and 44 mag on the single stage. Looking back over the comments---using the wet tumbler super cleans and makes the brass hang up. The One Shot did the trick. Had some primer feeding related issues---resolved that. Found that proper lubrication at the beginning of each run makes a world of difference. Being new my only measuring stick is results at the range, speaking to the RSO's there who see it all and talking to other re-loaders at the range. After my first couple hundred rounds I have had no issues-----unless you count 3 failure to feed out of several thousand rounds fired an issue. Guess I had a couple of good teachers a bit of good luck and a lot of patience. I can go out now, do a little prep and blow through 250 rounds in either caliber in about 30 minutes. Pretty happy with how things are going. My next hurdle is 44-40 for my Henry---I have heard that is tricky.

Dang!!!! Well done!!! Glad it's working out so nicely for you!

I always toss any pistol brass I am reloading on my Dillons in a large Zip Lock bag, give the brass a good shot of "One Shot', shake than load. Just makes the machine run smoother.

Same here, makes it a lot easier to resize. This way it's supper easy to detect anything going haywire with the press like hitting one of these stepped pieces of brass.
