I am loading on my Dillon 550 and I am loading .223. I have the resize die all the way down and I tested some brass in the headspace/chamber gauge. It is still too high and I have the die all the way down. I have tested 10 pieces of brass and they are all the same as when I started. I need help soon so I can go out and test my loads.

You can turn the die down about a quarter turn further after it touches the shellholder. Does the resized brass chamber easily? My Dillon sizer dies size rifle brass below the "zero" point on RCBS headspace gauges when the die is turned all the way down in the press. |
As for the person that said 'press flexing' - neat trick with a 550. Don't see how it could. |

"O" style presses are superior to the old "C" style. The Dillon rep mentioned a PSI figure, but I've forgotten what it was. I remember being surprised by the number. Remember, we're talking about just a few thousandths of an inch. Eddie |
You need to give a better description of what's happening than this. In any event, after reading the thread to this point, you need to STOP, and find out what's wrong. |
