Think I may go up from here. Did have trouble feeding some rounds. I will check adjustment on dies and make sure I am full length sizing. Cases are coming out pretty dirty with some carbon about midway down on the shoulder.
I did start using an m-die and sizing the boolits to the last groove. Also seating them out longer. I am about out of Javelina lube. I have Thompson Blue angel pushing it out. I should be sizing a bunch of .45 acp soon, so I will see how the thompson holds up.
Thoughts or directions to go?
