    Secret Life of Brass: Part 2

    Hallo I was always wondering about consistent champfering and deburring brass after trimmig. There are some tests on the internet, but not quite accurate. So if consistent champfering and deburring improves groups size for bench rest shooting... Did you Bryan see and difference in groups...

    Beginner! Critique my reloading stuff and what else should i buy?

    so what did you learn with all that reloading manuals? I assume that you learn basics of reloading, not powder charts. So what is so different in every book, that you need 3 editions of same publisher?

    Accurate beam scales

    even FX-120i is NOT accurate scale and drifts. but because you dont know and dont have better scale, you dont know this. but it is good for reloading. nobody need better. but it is better than beam scales, because beam scales are very finky and you must be very careful, which retarded american...

    Shoulder Bump

    this thread is prime example how people can't size their brass consistently and they blame lubricant for that. Because if you read closely, one has problems with some particular lubricant and other person doesn't. so only logical conclusion is that people does not know why they are not...

    I AM F...D

    I have stucked cases because I didn't clean brass for 6 times. Now I clean them after some reloadings with Ultrasonic Cleaner.

    Sorting primer velocity with the Garmin Xero

    nice. I am using Sierra 95gr in 223REM too. are you thinking about going to better extruded powder or you are happy with StaBall 6.5 performance?

    Load development or not?

    this is wrong approach, imho. EVERYBODY is leaving potential on the table, it is just matter of time and money how much are you willing to spend to leave less potential on the table. if you get good components, throw ball powder and use lee dies you can get 80% of precision, for 100$...

    Sorting primer velocity with the Garmin Xero

    Yes, I know that feel. That's why I stick to 223REM for F-TR. :D I sorted Murom SRM primers for low, middle and high weight and I have a plan to test them at 1000m for vertical difference. I weight them with beam scale, so I don't know their exact weight but I only separate them in 3 different...

    Sorting primer velocity with the Garmin Xero

    dont get me wrong: I will sort my primers too, and see the results and I believe that this is good thing for the best result. but your results are just too big, and if you compete in F-OPEN class, your cartridge-powder combo is just bad for good shooting.

    Sorting primer velocity with the Garmin Xero

    rocketvapor; like I said: you have bad cartridge with bad powder. I read old topics about weighting primers, and people usualy get 10-15fps / 0.1gr primer differnce. some are getting like 30fps/0,1gr difference, but your results are even higher at 50fps/0,1gr. imho this is very big. so you...

    Bushing or mandrel or both?

    I can see you can undersize quite a lot with decaping-expander-mandrel insert, and you buy them in 0.0005' increment for target tension.

    Bushing or mandrel or both?

    all dies do the same thing as mandrell does, but they does it in the UP stroke with ball or with long mandrell - SAC die. now we must see, if it is better to do this in DOWN stroke in another step, or it can be also done with SAC mandrell inside the die with UP stroke; what can be the biggest...

    Bushing or mandrel or both?

    thank you very much! so SAC did think of this. very very good. can you tell, how much you can undersize neck or how much are dimensions on those two places of the mandrell?
  18. MarkyMark007

    Bushing or mandrel or both?

    Why did SAC make mandrell the same dimension in whole dimension? This way you cant undersize neck with bushing and expand it with this mandrell in stoke ''up''.

    SD's in .223 /5.56

    cratered primers and flattened are two different things. cratered primer is from large hole around firing pin - those are non-custom bolt heads. you ~wont see cratered primer from good custom bolt head. flattened primers are from higher pressure or thin primer cup. and after that there are...

    Varget vs N140

    not EXACTLY. or yes EXACTLY. I am saying that Laurie Holland is getting those velocities:https://www.targetshooter.co.uk/?p=3856 with 223REM and 77gr bullet. you MUST understand AND REMEMBER, that powder burn rate or velocity is VERY CARTRIDGE and maybe BULLET dependent. you cant say if you...
