Does Anyone reload the .380 ACP on the Dillon
Quote from Reloader on May 23, 2008, 4:33 amI was wondering if anyone reloaded the .380 on the XL 650. Seems like it is "tinkery", although I don't have the Dillon dies, been trying with the RCBS and they dont feed well into the station one. Suggestions, thoughts? I do it with the Rockchucker but hate going backwards. I have gotten lazy and like hearing the clunk into the loaded round tray I guess. What is the secret?

It helps to leave the lock ring loose, run a fired case up into the die, then tighten the lock ring with the case up in the die. This ensures the die is straight in the toolhead.

Trying really hard not to make the wife see my Dillon Machine as a hole in the water you throw money into :). I load about eighteen calibers right now and growing.!

Using the case feed funnel adapter and running case feeder at slow speed .On occasion I have a few cases fall inverted but no big deal. I cycle the machine slowly to provent powder being slung from the short cases .Slow steady rate - works for me...
