    5.56 with Dillon 550 what dies?

    Re: 5.56 with Dillon 550 what dies? I will see your 10 goats and raise you a camel. I use the Dillon dies for 223 and 308 and I set them up with the case gauges. I also do trim checks with the case gauges. They are handy.

    Hunting & Fishing deer hanging setup

    Re: deer hanging setup You can build a small wood shed and install a window AC unit. You then defeat the internal thermostat in the AC unit and it will take it right on down to the mid 30's easy. Obviously, the better insulated the shed, the better. Route the air so it does not blow...

    high volume case preparation question??

    Re: high volume case preparation question?? I have a Dillon 650 with one of these, http://www.dillonprecision.com/#/content...0B_Case_Trimmer , on it. As fast as I pull the lever trimmed brass pops out. I still have to swage primer pockets as the next step. If you are wanting to make money...

    Loading for Military/LR LC Casing

    Re: Loading for Military/LR LC Casing 168gr Sierra 47.5gr CFE LC09 .308 brass Five rounds through my FNAR resulted in three blown primers. This is 1.5 gr below published max and I thought this would be plenty safe. I was plenty wrong. A call to Hogdgon got the suggestion to start...

    Dillon 650 with Hornady Bullet Feeder?

    Re: Dillon 650 with Hornady Bullet Feeder? They do not work that well with cast bullets due to the lube. It builds up faster than you would imagine and gums things up.

    Hunting & Fishing Hunting Knives

    Re: Hunting Knives I just got two of the Havalon's in as I got home from work. One for my hunting partner (my youngest son) and one for me. They are so sharp it is intimidating to even open them up. I'll let you know in a couple of months. So looking forward to cooler weather and some...

    Another stuck case thread

    Re: Another stuck case thread Well, it was a virgin die that had never seen lube and I have never had an issue with Imperial Sizing Die Wax when I actually put some on a case. What I did have an issue with was me. New toy (Dillon RT 1200) and in a hurry to use it. Excitement plus speed is...

    Another stuck case thread

    Re: Another stuck case thread I have never in my life stuck one like this one is stuck. I was setting up a power trimmer on my Dillon and grabbed the case I had been using for set up. I forgot I had just wiped it down a moment before when I stuck in my headspace gauge. That thing is not...

    Another stuck case thread

    After the rim has torn off, after the threaded hole strips out, after the case head tears off, and after the neck collapses down inside the case... After all that what would you do to save that trim die. I, er, have a... a friend! Yeah, a friend was asking.

    Reloading Set Up/Trimmer Needed

    Re: Reloading Set Up/Trimmer Needed Addressing powder coming out of the case I can offer a few tips I have gotten from Dillon as well as some others when I asked the same question. 1. A solid bench and mount makes the operation of the press smoother. 2. Static electricity can build up if...

    Powder restocking

    Re: Powder restocking The answer to your question about thrown charges vs carefully measured is yes and yes. I was planning on a copious amount of reloading for the local fauna (feral pigs, tons of them) where the object is simply glass on hair and hoping they crawl off and die so that you...

    Rifle Scopes Too much glass?

    Re: Too much glass? You know I am really itching to hunt with this new Sightron. Hmmm.... Maybe prairie dogs? I mean a .308 is a bit of overkill, but then again. I have plenty of time to save up for another one before November. Yep, I guess I do need another scope. Sad thing is I have a...

    Rifle Scopes Too much glass?

    For long shots the more the better, but is 6x too much on the low end? Where I hunt at I can have shots from knife range to 600 yds. We'll call 200 yds. About the average. I know I am giving up field of view. The question is would you be willing to make the trade off for higher top end power...
