May want to try RMR Bullets. I'm having great results with them and they're a good price. Lots of good reviews on the hi road site.

Well I have had 6,000 of them on order for a while, so I will know more soon.

But right now I am impressed with their quality. And the owners are good dudes.

Did some reloading for the first time in 3 months (work had been crazy over the spring, so didn't get much shooting in).

Pulled out the turret with the 9mm dies. Put the correct drum (already pre-set for my 5.2 grains of CFE) into my Lee auto-drum measure. Poured about 1/2 of a hopper full of powder in, and watched as it poured out of the openings in the powder measure, all over the bench and floor. I had installed the drum upside down, and it doesn't seal when installed that way. The drums are "keyed" but keyed every 90 degrees.... not sure why they designed it that way.

Anyway, once I cleaned up from my stupidity, I loaded 400 rounds of 9mm.

Eggleston brothers are good dudes and their bullets are good. The coating is not quite as thick as some other poly coated bullets, so it does pay to use the lightest crimp you can safely apply.

Recently one of my neighbors commented on while taking a late night stroll with his wife, he could view me in my garage reloading. Sooo, I just sprayed my windows with Rustoleum "Frosted Glass" rattle can. Very pleased with the results. In daylight hrs, the light seems to be amplified. Really helps brighten up the place.

Highly recommend.

I loaded some 45 colt and 454 for the Ruger black hawk and sat there wishing i had a bigger gun, 475 or 500 would be nice! Or one of the BFR's in 45-70 or something.

Loaded up a bunch (6,000) of pink 147gn Eggleston coated bullets in 9mm. Then spent a few hours linking them for belt fed fun.

This might be a weird question, but would anyone be willing to let me try out their Dillon 650? I'm currently using a Lee turret, and 4 pulls per bullet just isn't doing it for me. I want to get the Dillon, but I'd hate to blow thru $1200 bucks without ever even touching one. I'd like to try it out with either 9mm or .223 if possible.

We will need video when you test them in your new toy. :)

I think the consensus here is go with a 550 or 1050. The 650 doesn't really offer much to the money/value ratio.

Take this with a grain of salt, because I have neither and am single staging for precision rifle only. Either way, good luck. Lots of people on here are really friendly and may be willing to let you test drive their gear.
