Why are you lubing 9 mm? straight wall cases in a carbide die dont usually require lube in my experience. I guess if your using non-carbide dies it is required. I usually use a dab of graphite. good vid
What bullets do you use? I havent been able to find any that would be cost efficient to reload. All the bullets I found were $25 for 100 but I can buy 100 live rounds for $18. Would love to know what you use!!!
Just wondering how much it actually costs you to load your own rounds. From purchasing all the equipment, buying the brass, primers, bullets, and then your time to load each one.
Do you even save any money at all? Looks actually very time consuming and costly.
Are you using steel or carbide dies. I use carbide dies in my 550B and have never lubed and have never had any problems. The Dillon manual states that lubing is unncecessary if you're using carbide dies.
Is it because its a progressive press or what, I have never lubed straight wall cases. All the books I can find say it is unnecessary. I have loaded tons of ammo but I use a single stage.
what does the last station do? 1 is de-prime and prime 2 is powder and sizing 3 is bullet and crimp but 4 ???? also do you need to resize 9mm brass to specs before reloading or is it not really needed?
Station 1. Is actually resize and de-prime. Then lowered to insert the new primer. 2. Powder charge and bell the case mouth. Belling makes it easier to seat the bullet. 3. Bullet seating die. Forces the bullet into the case at a preset depth and then straightens the belling on the case. 4. Is probably what they call a factory crimp die. It's set so that it crimps the case just below the mouth. Yes, you need to resize and station 1 takes care of that for you...
I've been reloading on an RCBS single stage for years and years; sure hope to grab a deal on one of these Dillons someday for pistol rounds. Still prefer single stage for rifle and .45-70 black powder cartridge, but mainly for control of bullet seating. Plus, BPC is a lot different procedure. Thanks for a great video...
THOSE ARE DILLON DIES...YOU DO NOT NEED TO LUBE THE PISTOL CASES.

Your bell is too large... also you do not need to hand guide the bullet into the seating area.

I see that you're using dillon dies (there is absolutely no need to lube the cases)!

can be costly to get started, but will pay for itself in saving in the first year or two, depending on what caliber and how often you shoot

2:47 - gun in reloading area, action closed. Live ammo and guns on the same workbench is a safety concern.

Es una máquina mas barata y sencilla que la dillon 650, pero cumple a la perfección con su tarea.

whats the average cost for reloading 9mm per shell
bf3pwner 3 years ago
My cost per round of 9mm is on avg. thirteen cents (that is of course without paying for new brass) since I have quite a bit.
CNEBUCKS 2 years ago
so 6.50 per 50, that is a pretty large savings
mattpkp 2 years ago
if you cast, you could probably get that down to about 8 cents a piece or about $4 per 50
bearsfan1294 2 years ago
Do you have to do any other prep work on the 9mm cases like 223? (trimming the cases)

excellent video,
but the dillon case lube you can just spray on the cases. Then wait for a minute and you are good to go. It is a dry lube...

Always lube cases if you are not using carbide dies. If you have carbide rifle dies, always lube.
