Yeah like I said seems to be hit or miss. Y’all got me jonesing for a 22GT or a 22BR so I gotta figure this out. Time to go to the sex shop for that vibrator I suppose.

Before you go make a purchase wearing a fake mustache and dark glasses; I use an old rechargeable Electric Toothbrush I had in my bathroom closet that hadn’t been used in a few years anytime I’m dropping a powder I worry might bridge, or when using a less than friendly powder in the Dillon powder measure. Works great every time.Yeah like I said seems to be hit or miss. Y’all got me jonesing for a 22GT or a 22BR so I gotta figure this out. Time to go to the sex shop for that vibrator I suppose.
I’ve been working on xl750 for 6.5CM reloading. I am using two tool heads.
Tool head 1:
Station 1: deprime
Station 2: nothing
Station 3: Forster FL sizing die without the expander ball
Station 4: nothing
Station 5: Sinclair expander mandrel.
I’m not sure if this is normal or not but in order to get 0.002 should bump, I have to advance the FL die all the way into the shellplate. It’s really jammed in. If I want to fully raise the ram at the upstroke without any case, I do have to put in decent amount of force. The FL die is jamming into the shellplate. I feel the same force when I’m sizing the case but I’m assuming that’s coming from sizing operation.
Can someone shed some light on this please??
What if I skip the m die and just run my Redding sizer die to only use the ball to expand it? And do that on the load toolhead.I ran your setup for many years 2 toolheads on a 650... I now do it all on a dedicated 1050..
But, the FL trim die gave WAY too much neck tension so I always run a 21st Century mandrel right after the FL trim die...
I then run an m die in my loading toolhead but yes you will need to run a taper crimp die after to close the flare/neck back to the neck OD back to straight

On a side note, could you get the trimmer to trim to exact length each time? I just did my first 200 cases through it and was between 2.006-2.008 was wanting .0008.
Are you just kissing the mouth get it straight again with the taper crimp? I’m not using a bullet feeder, I’m placing them by hand into the case at the seating station.Expander ball isn't the same thing... the m die keeps the bullets from falling off the case after your bullet dropper....
No my rt1500 is dead on.

What crimp die do you recommend?
I’m doing this with 308win though. I do load a lot of 223, but I was more specifically asking about the expander ball being enough and no m die for 308.I just use the dillon crimp die from their 223rem carbide die set... yes I'm closing the mouth back to straight.
Also, M Die helps with bullet shaving if you aren't chamfer/debur brass after rt1500

175gr smk.Probably depends on the projectile you’re using?
Boat tails will not need the flare
Get a whidden free float tool head. They’re proven and high quality.I am about to order a full 750 Setup with 2 toolheads per caliber to reload. Trying to make things easier quicker than now with the turret press. Bulletfeeder, case feeder and all the upgrades. Here is the proposed workflow.
1. Anneal with AMP.
2. Clean/Wet tumble with brass cleaner
3. Dry in dehydrator.
4. Lube brass then dump into Case Feeder
Brass prep Toolhead
1. FW Arms decapping Die
2. Size brass
3.Mandrel Brass
1. Clean Wet Tumble, then Dehydrate.
2. Run Brass through Henderson to Trim, Chamfer and Debur
3. Dump brass into case feeder
4. Dump bullets into bullet feeder
Loading/Prime Toolhead:
1. Prime.
2. Powder through Die to drop charge from Super Trickler
3. Seat Bullet
1. Mark Brass and put in container for match.
Any issues or thoughts on the process? I just ordered a 2nd super trickler to keep downtime at a minimum since that is my limiting factor with loading. Will probably upgrade to an autodrive down the road to make it even easier/faster, but want to flesh out process first.
What do you think about these with the lock rings over the regular toolheads? https://www.armanov.com/shop/toolhe...llon-xl650-xl750-86?page=2&category=2#attr=67
