Reloading 30 Luger Powder Tube
I have a Dillon RL1100 Progressive Press. I am currently reloading for 30 Lugar, 7.65X21 with an old RCBS Rockchucker single stage press. I would like to speed up the process by using the Dillon. I cannot find a powder drop tube that will work with the Dillon Powder measurer. Will a powder drop tube for .223 work or does anyone have a suggestion?
P.S I am brand new to your forum and a first time Luger owner, fabulous gun! Thanks! |

I have reloaded a "ton" of 30 Luger brass with my Dillon press,......but it is a 650 model. I have never owned, or used a model 1100. Have you contacted Dillon here in Phoenix Az. They are great people to deal with, and very helpful. Just a thought.

Yes I did, it was the first thing I did in an attempt to locate a proper powder tube. They told me that they did not make a drop tube for the 30 Luger.
When you use your Dillon, what drop tube do you use? |

The 650 press uses the drop tube that came with the 30 Luger conversion kit. I have no idea if it is also used in other caliber conversions or not. Obviously it is the correct size to just enter the re-sized 30 Luger brass neck and deliver the powder charge. I have no idea just what setup the 1100 press utilizes. Sorry I can't be more help.

Interesting, a phone call to Dillon about the 30m Luger and I was told that there is no conversion kit for the 30 Luger. I will have to call somebody who knows what they are talking about.
Thanks for your help!! |

Bob,
The Dillon 650 conversion kit is for "30 Luger-30 Mauser" #21107. I hope this will help.

You're probably looking for the Dillon powder funnel # 12845, for a .32 handgun.
