I decided to do a run on 40S&W before I change the press over to 9mm. It was not supposed to be. I only loaded 200 rds instead of 1000 and decided I should stop..

First I have a bunch of older 40 brass mixed in with Lg primer pockets. Did not know this untill it was too late. What a PIA it is stopping the SDB to pull out one pc. Then at 185 rds I broke the Dillon or so I thought. Turns out the primer feed return spring broke. I had a spare and finished up the last 15 out the 100 primers I had in the tube. Had to finish it. I hate incomplete packs of 50 rds. Decided not to push it anymore and stop. I will switch over the the other press for 45 in a few.

 

I need to shoot the 40 and sacrafice some lead to appease the angered spirits.

:naughty:

weren't you glad you were home today

weren't you glad you were home today

Absolutely

I told you to ship that damn press back to dillon. But NOOOOOOO I'm gonna wait a little bit b/c im lazy!!

Spring broke Pinky, a common wear part.

wait, was something else wrong with the press?

No, just Matt with an opinion. I've cranked out 500 45 acp rds on the other one already.

He wouldn't know. He didn't use his yet

blah blah blah

 

Just admit, you should of sent it back already!

Tim, are you saying that all .40S&W don't use the same size primers?

There is some older ones that were made from 10mm brass and shortened to 40 length. They are stamped 40, but use Lg primers. I only found about 6. They are very rare.

I have .45ACP that use both large and small pistol primers.

Thanks, I never heard of that before. I am guessing all my.40 S&W brass is fairly new.
