Hey Fellers,
A friend has got himself a new Dillon 650 (truly, its not me!), he is loading .38 Super.
Now, I helped him set it all up, even got the dies sorted to correct settings. He gave me a call, saying that his shell plate is indexing a bit too fast and spilling powder. I told him to trim one coil off the spring under the ball bearing, resulting in a softer indexing.
He did this, however, forgot to tighten the set screw in the ram allowing the shell plate to slowly unscrew during operation.
So, we are looking at having to pull 1000+ rounds that have had the boolits seated too deeply. I used a kinetic hammer, it does work, but due to a firm taper crimp it is taking a soul destroying amount of time to pull a round.
I then tried to grasp the boolit with some vice grips in a single stage press, this is not working as the vice grips are destroying the boolit and not pulling them. Did I mention a firm taper crimp??
So, any tips for this job gents?
Mike
