What did you do in the reloading room today?

I got some of the gallant and they work well. I still had to flare the necks of the brass before seating and then crimp afterwards to keep the coating from coming off.

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.

Those two together make it so the coating does not get scraped or cut at any point.

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.

My supersonic go to is the Speer TNT and don?t have to open up the neck or crimp. So I looked and getting the expander was cheaper if I recall correctly than getting the drop tube you mention. And then maybe if I start shooting lead in other non-pistol cartridges I would have something for them.

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