Ok, so I was looking at my dies, and it hit me like a ton of bricks.

How does the powder get from the dispenser (at station 2) to the case, if there is not hole in the belling thingy in the case belling die?

Do I need special dies?

Or am I just plain nuts and loosing my mind?:confused:

Ok, so on the dillon site it says station 2 powder drop/flare...
do I need special powder drop/flare dies?

The powder funnel in the die, by virtue of it's being a funnel, has a hole in it. The funnel also bells the brass.

Anyhow, thanks!

Just an ordinary proletarian, languishing away down heah on Tobaccy Road. Posting on these boards is a little like being in politics over a long period of time. If you're either in politics long enough or post on these boards long enough, you're going to run across some folks who just don't like you. I have a lot more going on in my personal life now, than I did a few years back. My kids/grandkids are all doing interesting things, and I'm trying to participate in their lives as much as possible. Will probably go to work with my oldest son, in is little cabinet business. Need to escape Tobaccy Road and get back to civilization again! Hopefully, I'll be able to migrate back to the metro-Atlanta (probably Alpharetta) area real soon.

I was raised in political family, so have some first-hand knowledge of where enemies tend to come from. :)

Walter was in his full swing on GT when I was thinking of getting into reloading. I am still grateful for his presence on the board at that time. GTR really got me going in the right direction.
