So far the magic combo I have found is the Dillon C powder funnel (made for the 30 Carbine) and the Lee collet crimp die.Quote:

I am just using the AK funnel, which doesn?t open up the neck. So I run a lee universal neck expanding die after the powder drop and then seater, with the crimp die as the last station. I am using a 650, which has the extra station to do it this way.Quote:

Your way is more direct for those who lack the empty station so the way to go for most.

I managed to follow through with some "load development" I inadvertently got into last week when I realized I had made a mistake loading some shotshells. It came down to either completely tearing 50 shells down and recharging them with a reduced powder charge or opening them up and reducing the shot load. I went from a one ounce load to 7/8 ounce. In addition to correcting the mistake, I loaded 25 shells sort of as a control group. As reducing the shot load is a viable way to increase component economy, I was interested.
Anyway... Today I figured out that I need to work on accuracy before I can take advantage of smaller loads and tighter chokes.
It was kind of fun shooting powder puff loads though.
just shy of 600 pcs 308 brass on the giraud power trimmer. Now to locate another 300 pcs of 150 gr hornady fmj's, for my subsonic 308 loads.
Setup the 750 for 380 and ran a couple hundred. Smooth as silk.
Nice!Quote:

Recently completed my 9mm 700x, 115gr berrys and win small rifle primer load development. I casually loaded 200 rounds for an extended test before going hog wild
What powder? How much?Quote:
