Somewhat related… you really need to run your numbers to ensure your supersonic at longest range. If you decide to shoot on electronic targets its a must!
Team, Bought a used, non correct/original, 1903 mark 1 w. new stock and good barrel. I intended to turn this into a 1903a1 sniper clone for CMP. I need a gunsmith who knows how to mount the scope blocks. CMP is NOT AN OPTION as they are way, way backed up. This "should" be a simple...
After some difficulty getting the factory barrel off i was able to put on a new Brownells in 6 creedmoor along w a jp recoil eliminator This new 24” shoots quite well I selected a “standard load” load: 107smk, 42 h4350, russian primers in new hornady brass seated to mag length 5 shot groups...
Solid bullets like Barnes or M855A1 have a solid copper band driving area (Where the bullet is .224) which does not compress like the lead in a normal bullet will. As such the pressures of a given 55g traditional bullet vs a solid copper bullet are vastly different. Barnes uses a driving band...
If the cases are too long then you can get a small reduction in diameter at the case mouth and they need to be trimmed as already suggested. If they are new sized cases and you cant get a bullet in you will need to take a look at your dies; a sized case ID should be .224 - .001 to .003 for neck...
How does your rifle shoot? If your ES is good and your groups are good stick with what you have and go shoot. I see you are using FL bushing dies. If you are sizing brass that has been shot in several rifles it will not all size back down to the same point as the dimensions are all different...
Your going to need a chronograph. You need to be supersonic at 1000 yds and a little more to compensate for SD and ES. 20" is too short for an effective 1K .308 load, it will be marginal at best. I have observed far too many guys that are new to 1K shooting that have ammo and rifles that...
Yes, annealing does have something to do with controlling or regulating neck tension. It plays a small part in making sure all the brass springs back the same. In this case, there is a significant lack of neck tension as in the bullets are slipping in the case and annealing is not going to fix...
I suspect the reason that some brass works in that its thicker in the necks than the other brass is. Annealing has nothing to do with your neck tension/ sizing issue. Your sized brass should an internal diameter .001-.003 smaller then the diameter of the bullet. A small diameter = more neck...
I cant measure a case at the moment, but the smallest a case if going to be is when its a virgin case. I don't think you're going to get it smaller even with a SB die. Reference gas blow back; that only happens if your powder is too slow for your bullets like 4895 with 125g in a .308, your...
