550 resizing 45acp
Quote from Reloader on March 27, 2018, 6:54 pmMade a run of 1000 45 ACP. Half way thru I noticed my bell was getting smaller. Also my crimp was not sa much and me cases were not going into my case gauge. What would cause these setting to change?? Also I have some cases that wont fit in my case gause ( the bottom rim is too big)

Die holder is tight and not moving, ram looks good, shell plate looks tight. Not sure whats going on. On my other 550 I can run 10k of 9mm and the adjustments never move.
