[QUOTE="sklfco, post: 2041840, member: 24908"] If those had come off my 650 I would do a couple things. 1 back off station one and station 5. Which on your 550 should be 1 and 4 I think (have never used a 550). On station 2 I set mine up to bell the cases to ~.358 on an empty I had trimmed down to .752". (Oh, HELL no! I do not trim all those 9 cases that go through it! NO FING way!) That just seems to be a happy medium between the long ones and short ones that people leave for me at the range. As for that case gauge, I do not own one for pistol calibers, instead as suggested above I just have a barrel out of either the sig or cz sitting handy and as I refill the primer hopper I will spot check a couple using the "plunk" test. If they fall in (honestly never have not had one not after I got the tool head set up) I go back to pulling on the handle. As for the "GLOCKED" comment above, about 1/3 of the brass I have run through has had that distinct striker fired square primer indention when it goes in, works just fine when it comes out. Biggest problem I have is when the odd .380 case gets in the mix, those are a pain. Oh, wait till you run a 38 super through those 9mm dies! That Dillon will absolutely EAT IT up! LOL. Best of luck.
