What are you using to throw your powder charges?
Those loaded cartridges certainly have a nice visual appeal.

Threw 85.0 on with Hornady Powder Measure (double throw) then trickled each load up
Finished 600ish pieces of 300 Blackout brass this evening. Primer pockets reamed and flasholes debured for now.
Still waiting on a new die and my Giraud triway trimmer.

Pressed another 100 of 9mm out tonight.
700 more to go…

Today finally got the bugs worked out of this setup after working on it off and on for a week and half. Now I need to do the cable management routine to it and start putting it to work. This 1100 is smoother than my 1050s. I’m pretty impressed with the changes Dillon made.
Loaded some 7.65 Browning (32 Auto) for the first time.
.313" 78-grain coated Missouri Bullets RN, 2 gr Promo, GFL brass.
Dang things wouldn't chamber in a Beretta M82. Barely chambered in a Tanfoglio GT32. They did chamber with a bit of thumb push, and I fired 2 rounds.
I did some measuring and some research. Saami states max diameter is .336" at the crimp, and .337 at the head. The chamber size is .339".
I gauged my reloads, came up with .336 at the crimp - max allowable, and .338 body. Apparently, the Beretta has a tight chamber. What to do...
I want to use the .313 bullets, they are within spec. So I measured the walls of the brass.
There's the problem. The GFL brass walls mic at .014 - .016 thick. I ain't no math specialist, but a .313 bullet, plus .015 twice (for the neck brass walls) comes to something like .343.
A .343 cylinder probably won't fit in a .339 hole (Saami chamber).
I measured the walls of some new Starline brass: .011". .011 twice is .022, plus .313 makes .335. That should work in a .339 hole, right?
Seems I can't use the GFL brass with the .313 bullets. Either size them down or maybe buy some smaller plated bullets.

Ya, I hope Rick steps on a lego this morning or his coffee beans are sour
GFL stands for “Good Fu**ing Luck”
I've heard that before. However, I've used GFL brass in the past - not in 32 Auto - without problems.
I do indeed have problems ow.
