Another Dillon 550B thread

[jdman]

Hey guys, just wanted to give another thumbs up for the 550B!

I recently got one, and have loaded my first ever rounds up today. 1000- 9mm under my belt now!

It is actually a lot easier to load ammo, than i ever imagined.

Welcome to the blue side.

Congrats!
Have you fired off any rounds yet to see if they will actually go BANG?

Not yet, but i bought the whole set up from a friend, and he came by today and got me set up, and showed me how to use the scale and check the charges ect.

Will advise tomorrow, as i will try some out.

5.3 grains of bullseye with 124gr tmj.

Dillon is your friend

Your load is above maximum recommended be careful

I thought that sounded a little high myself

I would hope that they go bang and not BOOM. 5.3 gr seems like it may be a little on the warm side.

Ok just double checked a few, and it seems i had the Gr. weight wrong.
The ones i reweighed, were 4.2 gr of bullseye.
I am not sure if my scale is buggered, so i will find another one to use and be sure.

Did some more testing, borrowed another scale, and they are more like 3.9-4 Grains.

Took a few boxes to the range and they all went bang.
A bit on the lighter side of a bang, but all cycles the action of the 92FS.

Lesson of the day, dont load all the bullets you have at once.

Glad the load worked out for you and welcome - now that you have drank the blue Kool aid you will never go back
