[QUOTE="TheLastDaze, post: 2565803, member: 10463"] I let it get low a couple times like down to 7 primers, maybe that's why I seated one primer sideways ..... :oops: you are correct 5.7gr weighed 8 x before loading and was dead on, after loading about 200 rds I checked weight again and was perfect... lee's charts don't show the CFE, so it took some trial and error and a little powder spilled before I got the right one I needed, .41cc. so do you think I could load .380 with these dies?? my thinking is I would just have to set the dies down lower to accommodate for shorter casing... and I completely see why you run your press the way you do, but for me being a beginner It would prove very difficult.. I pulled a couple casings that didn't get any powder (chain came loose) later I rant them through and skipped the decapping die, but on one I forgot.... and out came a new primer, I took it slow and easy for the most part and I would say took 2.5hrs for the 630 rds I made...
