[QUOTE="RetiredTater, post: 2799238, member: 32190"] Primers are between one and two years old on that box I believe. The other box is less than three months. Stored in ammo can. Powder, this can is probably six months to a year. Do not touch the primers. Use a primer flip tray and primer pick up tube. On advice from ya'll, did some inspecting of the press while cleaning. Apparently, when I swapped from .223 to 9mm, I did not get the shell plate quite tight enough. There was some "springiness" between stations two and three (dillon website) so adjusted that down, changed powder charge to a 4.6 grain charge, loaded 10 rounds. The pressure to seat felt consistent. The primers appear seated below flush. Pictures below. Thank you all for your advice, and after I get a few more loaded to test out soon, will let ya'll know how it goes. (page timed out on me, had a much longer reply that touched on a lot of the other posts as well.....)
