Dillon RL550B rebuild project. Part 1: Introduction
I recently acquired a batch including a couple od Dillon presses and related gear. One of the presses is a much-used RL550B in desperate need of some care and refurbishmenht. I am going to tear it down, clean it up, replace parts as needed and get it back into tip-top shape. This is the first of several videos that will comprise this project.

Comparing powder measure performance: Redding #3 vs RCBS Uniflow

Between these two powder measures, is one better than the other with precision of powder delivery. Both measures have small "pistol" size metering chambers. The Redding was something of a basket case in need of re-furb, and the RCBS was bought new but is well used. Let's cee how they compare when delivering small smokeless powder charges.
Viejo's 45ACP 230 LRN shootout: Pt 4: conclusions and final thoughts
Просмотров 21721 день назад
Over a period of many weeks, I compiled some loading and performance data for 9 230gn LRN cast bullets, and 4 jacketed/plated 230gn RN bullets for 45 ACP. I loaded them all with the same charge, with the same gear and shot them through the same firearm to compare with data given in the Lee 2nd edition reloading manual.

    • @viejo2a
      @viejo2a 5 дней назад

      @@ThecrazyScotsman well..tough to resolve that one. Since the digital scale will tell us whether a delivered charge is within the limits of precision designed into the unit, usually +/- 0.1 grain with our class of gear, we would assume that the digital unit would result in a higher percentage of correct charges. That is, if we are willing to accept that spread. The fly in the ointment is that even though the readout SAYS 10.0 grains, how do you know that is accurate, i.e. really 10.0 grains and not 10.1 or 9.8. You can confirm one charge with check weights, but the reliability of the strain gauge is generally unknown to us. I think that the most precise technique for those of us that use standard reloading type of equipment would be to properly use a beam scale and trickler. To save time, (the biggest advantage to a digital unit IMHO), one can throw and then trickle up.
