I have reloaded for my ruger 40 SW carbine using Lee carbide dies no problems .I tried these loads in my dad's
Ruger sr40 pistol they won't feed or fire .Do I need zillion dies for my zillion 550 instead of these Lee carbide dies .I shoot factory loads in the ruger Sr 40 no problem never named .Also can you shoot cast bullets in these .I love shooting my ruger carbine with my reloads just want to do the same with this pistol .

Won't feed or fire would not be the fault of the dies.
You need to explain the exact nature of the failures; what bullet shape are you using, primer, load, etc.
Try to duplicate the factory load and see what happens.
If it functions with factory loads, then make your hand loads to match.

The 40 is known for swelling base of cases. Likely Simple case of the case chamber die other chamber issues.
