I find the 550 pretty smooth to operate. My left hand is placing the bullet and rotating the shellplate as my right hand is grabbing and placing a case. Then my right hand is right by the pull lever...

It wasn't much more so I splurged.

I bought the Caldwell premium kit. Which is like the basic but comes with lights, tripod and carrying case. I think it was $115-$120. Something like that. Works good and you can load Caldwells app on...
I'm glad that I had the Loadmaster first. It gave me a great appreciation for the Dillon I have now. I also learned how things operated

I vote Dillon 550. I've never owned a Hornady. They may be nice. I had a Loadmaster for 6yrs. No way in hell you could give me one again. It made nice ammo but needed tinkering constantly. All three...
Wes had some a few weeks ago. Might send him a message.

Yup. Here's an example of my S&W

The lefts side has a "taper" that the cylinder "spindle" slides on. Watch it as you open and close it and you'll see.

I use Red Dot for my 32mag. My 38spl, 357mag, 45acp, 44mag and spl all get Power Pistol. Back when I had a 9mm and loaded for it, it got Silohuette. I've got a friend that uses Unique and I've never...
That's pretty much awesome!

Might fix title to read "bullet puller". Lol

I'd say if you tighten the crimp up you'll clean em up.

Are you positive you resized the necks?

Good stuff right there. Started building loads for my Bergara 6.5cm last weekend. My limiting factor is the feed ramp. My choices are notch the ramp, feed singles or be backed off the lands 20-60...
I figure the bullet will push into the lands/rifling "x" far before the force overcomes neck tension or crimp. How far is "x"? Will depend from rifle to rifle. Saami spec should be way back from...
I loaded 387 rounds of .223 last weekend in an hour and 22mins. I've bout got the swing of loading on my Dillon 550. I'm glad I battled with the Lee Loadmaster for a few years cuz it made me really...
I wipe this one down with fairy dust which is known to have magical properties which promote even powder drops. This process negates the need for the McDs straw mod.

Finally got away from hand dropping and trickling powder. I've been gonna order one for a few months but I've been waiting for Frankford arsenals model to get in stock before I pulled the trigger....
I have the Bergara hmr in 6.5 creedmoor. It's very nice. Action operates super smooth and trigger is very crisp. I too would think 300 would have more recoil than 308 or 30-06. Maybe your talking...
Yes it's the Ruger American compact in 22-250. I have one in 223 also. They are handy lil suckers.

Lol. There ya go. I figured it'd be an operator error on powder. Not much else could've been the problem. Tightening a crimp can clean up a dirty load if you still have an issue after you fix what...
I didn't crimp 9mm back when I loaded it. Since you are hand charging, powder consistency wouldn't be an issue then.

How are you measuring powder? Tightening crimp could help your situation.
