Brass Bulge: When your brass will not fit in the case gauge what are your options?
We found a very good article on Uniquetek.com website. You can download the article
from their website. You will find it on this webpage as Tips File #12: Reloading Bulged Pistol Brass.

William O'Hanlon has the following observation to share:
I have a Lee factory crimp die for my 1050 in both 40 and 38 super , only problem happens is when I try to load lead bullets in either caliber , the die being .001 smaller and the bullets being sized .001 larger cause the bullet to stick a bit on the up stroke and the disturbance causes the powder to spill out of the case that just received it. If you always use jacketed bullets it works fine.

Case Bulge Solution

The original Shellplate bearing kit for Dillon XL650 by Hit Factor Shooting Supply, LLC.

This kit eliminates the snap when the shellplate advances to the next position. When the shellplate snaps, gunpowder splashes out of the casing causing a mess on your press and inconsistent loads. This kit also smoothes out the operation of your press. No permanent alteration of the press is necessary (occasionally the ejector wire requires tuning). Many users report more consistent and easier primer seating.

The diagram shows the pieces that come in the kit - two high quality hardened steel thrust races and one needle bearing. The bearing pack installs on the shellplate bolt. Detailed instructions with photos are included. This will not affect the seating of primers or require die adjustments.

These kits are featured in the Nov./Dec 2011 issue of Front Sight magazine.
