It's pretty cool that they invented those steel cases to give the extra velocity, but I'll stick with what I'm using which is brass cases. I would not know what is needed to load steel cases, steel cases do not stretch like brass. I have read that there are more issues reloading steel cases. If...
Great idea swapping from .45 large primer to small without swapping over the heads on the Dillion. I load for .38 Super on my 550, it uses small primers. I still have some large primer .45 Starline brass, I just need to shoot pistols more often.

130 TTSX is not bad at all, despite it losing all its petals. How fast were you pushing the 130 TTSX?
My gun safe is getting crowded and was brain storming on how to get more space since I'm getting a new rifle built, should be less than a month out. I removed all the rifles, removed all the bolts, and labeled individual ziplock sandwich bags and labeled them for each rifle. Placed the bolts in...
