AR15 BARRELS (RANDALL) NEED YOUR HELP LIL BUDDY.
« on: October 13, 2008, 09:11:27 PM »
Randall, do I have to deprime all of my 223 and 308 brass before I run the whole reloading procedure on the 650? 

I mounted the 650 already but I don't have powder/primers yet.  The Giraud Trimmer will get here in Friday.  What can I do while I wait for the Powder/Primers/Trimmer and that other machine to take away the military crimp from primer pocket.

Can I start depriming the brass that I have cleaned already?

Take that extra toolhead that I told you to get.
Install your 223 sizing die in station 1.
Install the two extra powder dies in stations 3 and 4.
Adjust your sizing die for proper function per the dillon manual using the dillon headspace gauge as a reference.
When you are all done, install the two powder dies down snug against the shellplate when the ram is all the way up WITHOUT a case in the sizing die.
Those two powder dies support the shellplate and platform from twisting.
Re-check the adjustment of the sizing die with another un-sized case.
you MAY have to back that die off a tiny bit because the press was flexing when you first started without the powder dies.

Now setup the rest of the casefeed parts for 223 and start running cases through the press.
You should end up with lubed, sized and de-primed cases.
Tumble them clean to remove lube.
Then run them through the girard trimmer.
Sort out the cases into two batches, crimped primer pockets and un-crimped primer pockets.
Swage or deburr all the crimped ones.
After that, they are ready to load.
Setup the 223 LOADING toolhead with the decapping die in station 1 to knock out media that got stuck during the 2nd tumbling.
I didn't really enjoy taking showers with other men though I have done it

Dude are you packing wood?, I think you have a serious man crush.

Maybe you can get him to come over and show you how to 'stroke' that machine too.

It's reloading.......not rocket sciense. If you need a tutor, my 5 year old is available.

Randall, do I have to deprime all of my 223 and 308 brass before I run the whole reloading procedure on the 650? 

I mounted the 650 already but I don't have powder/primers yet.  The Giraud Trimmer will get here in Friday.  What can I do while I wait for the Powder/Primers/Trimmer and that other machine to take away the military crimp from primer pocket.

Can I start depriming the brass that I have cleaned already?
where did you get the brass?
