Thanks. I knew you would know where to go.

I have never used a Dacron filler. How do I do this? Got a link you like to explain it to me? How important is an equal size cut? That would seem to be the hard part.

I read the stickies a long time ago.

I am doing way better then that with iron sights on my m1a and 4895. I wish powder was easier to get. I would order a bunch of different stuff just to try.

I have been shooting h4895 with 28grs with some success. I don't know if Varget is even worth trying? I have 8lbs of Varget. Thought I might give it a try. 26gr of H4895 was weak and didn't cycle...

My LnL was a nightmare in so many ways. It's not nearly the press the 650 is and it only offers features over the 550. My 550 was easy and fast. Never a issue. The LnL was always requiring...

Just little flakes of lead in the cavity. How can I get it out. I tried a leather glove when hot, tried to pour some hot lead just on that spot to melt it out, tried a pencil and a little wood. ...

I think it's funny that people seem shocked that a Blue Part can break. Everything will eventually break. The warranty says they will repair the part not promise it won't break.

A 450 is basically a 550 with out some of the parts of the 550. You can upgrade the 450 into a 550 by getting the parts from Dillon. You will basically have a 550 with out the interchangeable...

I fired them today. From 24gr to 31 gr. Had a couple failures below 27gr. But only 2 out of about 30. I was not shooting at a real range so I had a horrible shooting position. I will test for...

What was a good starting point for a 200 gr lead bullet in 308. I have already loaded the first test batch. As soon as I can make it to the range I will see how they do.

Truly amazing.

Jeez. Just because I didn't mention it doesn't mean I don't know about it as part of.the process. Let it go.

I already knew that point. That was not the question I was asking so I didn't care. I wanted to know the starting point for a M1A that would be below where the gun works. That was all I wanted. I...

Got it. I was listening when you said that. I am going to start at 25 grs just to be well below and work it up to where it cycles the action. Once I find that spot I will load a larger amount of...

The internet site from Hodgon gives 35.5gr at 2250 fps.

I did not expect Lee to have a separate LEAD only data section of their manual. That was helpful thanks for pointing that out. I read...

There is no Lead 200gr in my 2ñd edition. Jacketed yes. 38gr starting. I knew that was way to high. I really didn't appreciate your "get a manual" comment as I am a little beyond the need for a...

I have that manual. I will look again.

If it was in my manuals I wouldn't be asking.

Anyone have a good starting point for my M1A

Exactly. Don't even think of sliding the sprue plate the first time till this is done.

As a last ditch effort, Separate the handle halfs and pour hot lead on the mold at the spot that is problamatic. Eventually you will get the old lead hot enough to peel off with the new lead. Try...

I am sure you will enjoy your new press a great deal.

Jeez. Argue with me even when I say it has a nice powder measure for instance. Argue about the nice things I say about RCBS. Unbelievable.

Having owned a LCT, LoadMaster, LnL, 550 and 650 for what you describe the 550 is your best bet. Steel frame is of zero consequence. RCBS has a Very Nice Powder Measure. But it has less of the...
