    Large plastic bags serve well as press covers.  Most Uniquetek products work as advertised.  My favorite upgrades are spent primer catch accessories that reduce or eliminate spent primers landing on the floor.

    Use a pillow case instead. 

    Plastic bag traps moisture. ;)

    I love the roller handle and LED light on my D/550.

    Thanks all, I will attempt at least one of the remedies mentioned. In case you forgot, I installed a new modified carrier from Jack Rabbit Joe I got in the mail last night without much examination/polishing. Because I did take down by buffing and Flitzing the afore mentioned floor plate, I may have to build it up again with a tig weld or as a temporary remedy JB Weld and take it down again as I suspect the carrier is going too far down and the cartridge is coming up tipped primer end down before entering the chamber.

    Can you post a video showing the feed issues?

    Well, as of this writing I will tell you that I was able to FLITZ them out. I will also tell you and Lumpy Gritz that the rifle cycles great without a dummy cartridge. However upon use of a dummy, the cartridge hangs up upon entering the chamber, then with a slight release of the lever it will chamber, marring the bullet I suspect from the top of the chamber. My crimping is good and COAL is at 1.495. Thanks Skid.

    Carrier timing is off.

    The carrier rising to fast.

    Just for giggles, remove the extractor

    from the bolt and see if a rnd will chamber smoothly. 

    Try the same with the ejector removed.

    Maybe where you shoot, but not everywhere. Many clubs that I have shot at in Florida regularly have a stage (or stages) with 6 shotgun and on rare occasion 8 shotgun. Only having 8 loops leaves no room for dropping shells or missing targets. Although I don't like the belt pictured, I like having the ability to put as many, or as few, shells as I think is needed to complete the stage and I always carry 5 extra that the needed amount. I like the canvas belts.

     

    COC - Buy once, cry once...get a quality, well proven belt made by an experienced SASS shooter, maker and competitor. You won't regret it.

    Good point, I do carry 12 SG.

    Sure wish we could start with a loaded SG.

    YUP, I just lit the fuse..... :lol:

    @The Original Lumpy GritzMy current load is a 115 pill (.313 from https://cowboybullets.com/32-cal-115-grain_p_11.html ) over 4.6gr of Unique with a CCI 400 SRP..  And my .32 WCF cases will hold a double charge.  You can see tht its double loaded, but the case still holds it all.  That why I'm looking at higher load densities.  I want it to spill out of the case.

    If loading on a progressive press.

    Use a powder ck die.

    Your only other choice is real BP.

    FYI, most cartridges using smokeless, can easily hold a double charge of powder.
