Dillon dies suck !!

I'm new to reloading, but finally got my 750 set up. I waited six months for my 9mm dies to finally show up.

Well, now that everything's up and running I cranked out my first 500 rounds.

I chamber checked every single one of them, and they all passed.

But when I used my Dillon case gauge, they all failed. Every single one.

Dillon dies suck.

We all have to start somewhere...

Shoulda used Lee dies....

I substituted the LEE factory crimp die for the Dillon in 9mm because it’s a tapered case. 10k rounds or so with no probs. It’s the bulge at the bottom of many 9mm cases that needs to be ironed out . The dillon crimp die for 9mm sucks. You can pass all those bullets through the LFC die and they should be fine. I also use the Redding Competition seating die for more accurate seating when changing between coated lead, FMJ and JHP. In .223 no probs with the Dillons so far. Got LEE’s for .40. Not crazy about the size / deprimer but for the little amount of .40 I load it’s fine .

Funny Brad !
How long before anyone catches it ������?

Try sizing in a single stage with the same die. Size 10 cases and try the empty case in the gauge.

Maybe post #16 will help:

Try using the gage from the other end.

Bwa-Ha-ha, so funny. Not really, but mildly amusing.

Hey, there's another thread about case gauges, so I thought I'd join in

[ysr_racer]

Hey, maybe it's that damn cheap green brass I keep getting?

[Raiderh20boy]

Be nice ! Some might thing you’re serious !:-)
those were SPECIAL ORDER FOR YOU !
Did I tell you I got the MARKVII APEX 10 auto? WOW that thing can really go fast !! Now all I need is some primers :-(

I think you need the blue Dillon hammer to properly test fit that brass in the die. You bought the blue Dillon hammer right?
