    300 H&H help

    Factory loaded is .335, once fired is .340, resized above the bulge is .333. I'm using a Dillon 550 for resizing, decapping and seating. RCBS FL die.

    300 H&H help

    I've got the die all of the way to the plate. It's probably possible to lower the plate and screw the die down more but it's pretty close to max. I've never sized with the die screwed in more than when it hits the plate. Shoulder to base is 2.361 (resized), once fired is 2.3625.

    300 H&H help

    Corn cob media life

    So I just started tumbling with corn cob media and adding car wax. I've gotten really good results but I'm wondering how many hours can you run this stuff before it's time to trash it.

    Tick Season!

    Dillon 550 Question

    Yes sir. Thank you. I was confused going from 4 dies to 2 (not including the powder die). I've also read that crimping is not always necessary with rifle rounds. I'm sure there are pros and cons, but I haven't put together enough info yet. With my 9mm, I always put on a very slight crimp.

    Dillon 550 Question

    Hello all. I'm just getting into reloading rifle after using my 550 for 9mm competition ammo. If anyone is using the 550 for rifle and has any advice, lessons learned, I would really appreciate the knowledge. I'm going to be reloading 300 win mag, 300 H&H and 6.5 CM. Thank you in advance for...
