    I think I will take this advice. I’ll buy a concentricity gauge from Sinclair and a Forster bench rest die What is a turning mandrel? I was thinking of buying the bench rest set from Forster anyway.

    I asked what dies you guys were using because I was gifted an xl 650. I want to get the most concentricity I can, but I don’t know the best way to do that without turning the necks. I’ve read a floating tool head with standard does is a good way to go. I’ve heard a mandrel die is good, but I...

    Just curious. What is everyone using for dies? I’m thinking about getting a Forster ultra, but I’m torn between a new sizing die. I don’t know if I should keep using my standard rcbs or get a FL bushing die from someone.

    Only had time to run 20 rounds. Glad to say there are no signs of high pressures or extractor/ejector issues. However, just as you, I plan on loading my own rounds for coyote and target shooting to completely avoid the primer issues. I’ll let y’all know more in the future when I can really put...

    Valkyrie Blowing Primers

    So, against my better judgement I went out today and bought a Savage MSR 15 Recon. I say “against my better judgement” because I’ve read a few posts about Federal’s 75gr and 90gr rounds either blowingprimers or dropping them completely out of the case potentially jamming the bolt. A few posts...

    Here’s a few pictures. No joke, this fell out of mag well when I pulled it out of the box.

    Has anyone else seen this happening? The Scheels store in my state took the msr 15 off the shelf due to this issue. I, like others, thought the blown primers was a batch issue at the least, or QC negligence at worst. I’m going to call savage as soon as I can and raise Kane.

    I saw your post a few weeks ago. Literally just bought the same rifle you have 8 hours ago, and I honest to god found a blown primer in the gun box.
