Bought a used Dillon XL650 last month and I have been getting acquainted with the adjustments and operation of it. It is set up for 9mm,which I will load primarily, and I have the conversion for 10mm which I am looking forward to pumping out some target loads. I have a G20SF with a Lone Wolf threaded barrel with compensator. Have been shooting some Privi Partizan 180 gr HP with good success. I also have two G29SF's that I really enjoy shooting.
I have several boxes of Underwood ammo and that is what I keep loaded for home defense. At this point I'm not interested in hot loads, only target and steel shooting.
Powders being hard to locate right now, I have some Solo 1000 that came with the press. I have some Titegroup, HS6, and a can of HS7 that I got for $11. I have on hand some Xtreme 180gr plated HPs. I also have a chrony to check my velocities.
Any info with recipes for those powders and bullet combos would be appreciated. I'll also seek some info on 9mm loads with those same powders in the other section.
Sounds like you're setup and ready to get it on! I answered your other post in the 9mm section, please read my small request.
Good luck and be safe! 8)
The problem with copper plated bullets is you have to keep the velocity below 1100-1200 fps, or the lead will separate from the jacket. Now HS6 is a pretty good choice for 180 grain copper plated bullets. 7.5-8.6 grains will keep it about 957-1089 fps.

That would work great for me. Thanks and keep'em coming.
