I currently have a few hundred 95 grain loaded at 2.9 grains of Titlegroup.
I originally loaded these up when I had only a LCP.
Just an FYI.
I now have a new G42 and have had some reliability issues with the G42 and was gonna bump the load up a bit to improve cycle reliability.
High volume reloaders with alot of repairs or breakdowns will warrant a method other than the kinetic hammer.
I use a RCBS collet bullet puller.
Wish I had learned this earlier than I did.
$4.50 a box is my calculated cost for a 12ga lite load.
Buying once fired shells, 7/8 oz #8 lead shot, and paying shipping those and 5000 wads at a time.
Cheddite 209 primers in group purchase splitting HazMat.
Of course any equipment cost on top.
The Mec 650jr mentioned above is a 5 stage...
Hey OldDude,
With the 550 Press Kit you will get;
The tool head (use your 7/8-14 dies in this tool head)
You will get the powder measure which mounts in the toolhead
The caliber conversion gives the powder funnel which inserts into the powder measure.
With the instructions that you receive...
Welcome to the reloading world.
I run 2.8gr red dot behind a 125gr cast rnfp for cowboy action with a Fed 100 primer.
Using red dot with 9mm, 38 Spec. and 45ACP
I have a Dillon 550 that I have used for pistol loading for a few years and have now built a setup to reload 223 on the this 550 press.
Have been reading about and thinking that some of these case prep chores like de-priming before tumble for cleaning. would be best suited on a single stage...
