      High end .357 Mag reloads

      You should never back off a min load of H 110/Win 296. If you do you can get squibs. It is a magnum only powder.

      38 Short Colt

      You can fire 38 SC and 38 LC from 38 Spl and 357 Mag revolvers, but not from 38 S&W chambers.

      RCBS vibe tumbler locked up. :(

      I had something like that and it turned out just to be a loose bowl. You never know

      That Stuff On 5.56 Brass

      All rifle brass is annealed, leaving a dark area around the case neck, but you wont see that on commercial brass because it is polished out. Annealing makes the neck softer than the body allowing the bullet to be released without cracking the neck.

      Generic reloading question

      Reloading is part of shooting. All the best shooters at the range are reloaders. Tailoring your ammo to your firearms and large volumes of practice ammo will vastly improve you marksmanship. So if you want to be one of the better shooters at the range, start reloading.

      Dillon Press - Ready to Go Blue

      There are no “must” have add-ons needed other than conversions for each caliber you will be loading. Extra tool heads, powder measures, and powder dies (one of each is included in a quick change) are nice to have. Also a spare parts kit can save a reloading session if something breaks.

      So.. what are you reloading at the moment??

      38 spl Loading 250 35spl with 148g WC cast from a Lee mould, over 3.1g AA#2. On my portable bench.

      .38 Special Load

      For target shooting I do not like the way RN bullets rip the target, and much prefer WC and SWC for the nice round holes they make. RN and RNFP are best for cowboy action shooting and even then mostly just for nostalgia and the looks in ammo belts. You can use data for 158g RN for your 160g RN...

      Dillon 650

      That is really a good question. I think I would size on a single stage then run them through the 650 to complete. That way you could run anything you can get a shell plate for.

      Berdan primed brass with hole in center

      Sounds like a lot of nonsense to save some cheap easily available 308 brass. I would just trash it.

      Dillon XL650, Strong Mount and Primer conversion?

      I bought the complete priming assembly so all that is required is to replace the punch and 2 screws. No fiddling with small parts/adjustments required. Cost a lot less than a second press, and frees up bench space. https://www.dillonprecision.com/xl-650-large-priming-system_8_116_23809.html

      9mm 115gr. FMJ with Bullseye Load?

      There is no more versatile powder than Bullseye, it can be loaded in 25acp up to 44mag. Data for a 115g jacketed bullet can be used for JHP and JSP and FMJ, of any manufacturer. This is why we have and use a starting load, and work our way up from there. If we were to use the exact same bullet...

      Bullet Casting Score

      For $15 just 20lbs would be good, 75lbs is awesome.

      .357 magnum offerings?

      There is no factory loaded 38 spl that will harm that gun. The only thing that may cause concern is hot loaded 357mag with light bullets, the 125g or 110g variety.

      Price of Federal .22lr bulk packs in 2008?

      I recall 100 rds CCI mini-mag boxes for $1.88, that was back in 1980-81. My last box was $9.95 two years ago, but I needed them. I haven’t shot many lately cause I can reload 9s and 38s for about the same price.

      Lee dies in Dillon 550

      Maybe I am missing something, but the Dillon 550 comes with a powder die and the conversion comes with a funnel.
