I just confirmed my order for a set of dillon carbide die. I trim the cases to 1.285", at first I thought they might not fire, but I tried those 8pcs of ugly bullets and they shoot fine.

The bullet will chamber, no doubt, and it'll fire. My charged was 12.5grns of N110 and I'm getting 1775 fps.
I tried the Lyman M die, at first, but it creates a lopsided bulge thats why I stop...

Aneat, sorry for a delayed reply. I was busy in the reloading room trying to make some 40SW bullets out of 9mm case and the press makes the work so smoooth! There's a huge difference when I compared...

Ok, I will try removing them.

Here's my build, after trying for more than 2 years. Finding the right people to do the job is the hardest.

That's really nice bullets you got there!
I'm not really into 40SW because I don't have the gun, but reading and looking at the pics posted here in the forum, maybe

For me it won't matter, but for more cosmetic beauty, try to tumble them in ceramic media with citric acid and dishwashing detergent. You'd be amazed later! This is BT's tip!

Will buy one of these when funds are ready.
I plan to trim 22mag and 22lr case, is it ok to use one trim die? Or do I need to have a separate trim die for each of one?

Lizard,
I'm curious about your 22brass trimmer. Would you mind posting a pic? Is it different from a pinch trim die?

I have tried to open up a 50 cal bullet and inside were a real hard steel core, up front is like a powdered metal and at the base were lead.
