which dillon press?I loaded up a few hundred home cast, powder coated 147gr 9mm to take to the range sometime this coming week. Need to swap the Dillon over to large primer to load up some home cast, powder coated 200gr SWC for the range as well.
I think it was gen 2 and gen 3 40cal pistols that did that.
Deavis, are you sizing them forwards or backwards? I heard you should size them backwards (base first) to push the metal back forward.

I load on a 550. With the amount I usually load it works best for me. I also use a RCBS Rock Chucker for rifle rounds and load development. Once I dial in a load I switch it over to its own tool head on the Dillon.which dillon press?
For true straight-wall cases, there are "push-through" dies and tools from various sources. The link was for Lee products. Here's the Redding stuff in use:
Note that both the Lee and the Redding are designed to have the mouth of the case fed into the die. You specifically asked about sizing backwards. I assume by that you mean shoving the base of the case into the die first. For push-through sizing, that always seemed to me like a more logical way to do things. The only tools I know of designed to do that (I'm sure other tools can be adapted to work like this, but I have no experience doing that.) are by Magma. They have a manual version for less than $400.
They also have a fully-automated push-through sizer for somewhere on the far side of $6K but I don't play where the air is that thin.

Why?Sized some 30-30 then dropped them all so now I have to redo them.
Why redo? They can handle a fall even if slightly anything they are safe to use.Sized some 30-30 then dropped them all so now I have to redo them.
Fire forming for your particular chamber?Sized, neck turned, primed and loaded 130 6ppc Lapua brass so I can fire form them when the rain stops. Neck turned about 30 others for future use.
