    I was pretty sure .357sig's were still considered G19s and only became a G22 when it was a .40 S&W.

    I can only concur, X2

    That is why I changed the range I go to, it's another 25 mn drive, but well worth it.
    And the instructor is freakin awesome, in two sessions he help me improve tremendously and shows to me complete confidence.
    Now I have to work on this damn flinch, still haven't gotten rid of it yet.

    .22 LR, or really light .38 target reloads, and then work your way up to full power again.
    Getting rid of flinch is near impossible with full power loads, particularly if its of the teeth-rattling variety.

    Ok so i have a dillon 550b. Mate of mine dropped by last night and we set it up, got the powder thrower throwing the right load (25 gr) and the bullet seating die working well. Question, is there a surefire method to check the full length resizing die is set right?

    By the way, man can it throw rounds through.

    Yes, a case gauge. Or make a dummy round and see if it chambers. Obviously chambering a loader round is another way and also can offer some serious concerns if one is not careful.

    Also one can load a few rounds and test fire them.

    A kinetic bullet puller is a nice thing to have.

    Nice buy. I bought a second hand Lee loadmaster. Works for my needs.

    I have a number of case gauges, I think they are really great to have for reloading. There a number of manufactures, they seem GTG to me.

    The link that HK in AK shows a fired one, that may or may not be a problem. If you are shooting for one rifle only, using a neck sizing die saves the brass some life. Probably that round may or may not fit in another rifle. Case gauges like sizing dies are set to min SAMMI specification for case dimension. That way the case will fit in all firearms chambered in that cartridge. Once you fire a round in your rifle, it now fire formed to the exact size of your chamber. Because of manufacturing tolerance, chamber sizes can vary. Also some cambers are close enough, where a full length size is not necessary. I have a couple rifles like that.

    I only have case gauges for those cartridges that I reload a lot of.

    Im only probably reloading 223, might go to 303 brit one day. Firing 223 from two different guns, hence the full length resize.

    Thanks guys, ill have a look.

    Get a spent case from each gun. See if they chamber in both. Might save you some brass in the long long run. Saving brass is handy if the brass is hard to come by or you have a small number that you work with.
