Loading with primed brass
Quote from Reloader on October 7, 2008, 11:11 pmI am new to progressive reloading and just purchased a 550.
I have a few hundred 45ACP brass that have already been resized, primed and belled.should I leave the primer magazine out and remove the resize, deprime die and load as usual??
What are your suggestions? I dont plan on doing this again just until I use up what I had prepped from the single stage method.
Thanks for your help.

That way you will resize all the cases with the Dillon die, and bell them all to the same degree at the powder-feed station.
