[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 749439, member: 41442"] I do it in batches, I run it through one of my lnls with a case feeder with the small base sizing die in place and nothing else but the dillon trimmer set up in the third stage. I size primer and trim it. I then use a dillon swadger to remove military crimps if needed. After im done doing all that i throw it in the tumbler and take the previous batch thats allready tumbled and go back to one of my lnls which is set up again with a case feeder and with a powder measure and bullet seating die in place. I use nothing but ball powders for loading progressively. Its to easy even if your watching to get a charge that bridges in the measure and gives you a squib load. Ive tried about every powder measure made and never found one i truely trusted for stick powders. When i use stick powders i use my pact or lyman digital dispensors and weight out every charge. With two presses set up like this i can rattle out lots of ammo and its good ammo. My understanding after talking to dillon is there carbide die is not a carbided die. All it has is a carbide expander ball so that it comes through the neck with less resistance. I have and use one for both the 308 and 223. By the way the large slide that comes with the dillon is plenty big enough to do 223s and 308s. At least it is using ball powders. If you know someone other then dillon who is making a true carbide die for 223s or 308s can you send me a link? It must be expensive as the dillon dies with just the carbide expander sure arent given away. [/QUOTE]
