[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 1090524, member: 3099"] It must be something with the Dillon dies. On my Hornady press with Hornady dies I can tell a night and day difference in the force required to size them. The .380's just jump up in there with almost no resistance. I haven't gotten a .380 to the priming station yet. Good on you that you caught it. Last night I was loading .45ACP's. I had an old Super Vel case that got completely loaded. I always give the cast bullet loads a quick wipe to get any lube off and take a look at the primer to make sure I actually seated it (I've been known to get a loaded round into the chamber only to find there is no primer :homer:). Anyway I guess when I seated the bullet it split the case about 3/4's the way from the mouth to the rim. :yikes2: I guess the old tale of the Super Vel loads being extremely hot must be true.
