    Monthly Sporting Rifle match RATON NM

    I've got that many on one shoulder. My shoulders and back are covered with welts. Chuck W. had that many on one arm I think. They were bad!!!

    To FL resize new brass or not????

    With new brass, I always run them through the sizing die with the expander ball. It has been my experience that Lapua necks are extremely tight and need neck sizing with the expander ball to get correct neck tension. It doesn't really matter whether it's a neck or FL die. Sent from my iPhone...

    Ultrasonic cleaners. Worth the money and how to use them?

    ^^^What he said^^^ I use Dawn and Lemi Shine but also tried the OxiClean dishwasher booster which works great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    7mm WSM Redding bushing size after neck turning

    You only need tension enough to hold the bullet securely. If the current sized case neck will not support or hold the bullet then you'll need to measure neck wall thickness as described by ZiaHunter.

    7mm WSM Redding bushing size after neck turning

    Seat a bullet and measure neck diameter. Subtract .002" and that will be the bushing size for standard neck tension. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Opening a small primer pocket to accept the large primer

    The .454 has a small primer for a reason and that is high pressure. I would not alter anything. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    While I agree with much of what has been offered, don't overlook bullet inconsistencies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unexpected MV from longer barrel?

    New barrel ... Check velocity after you have about 150+ shots on the barrel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Pressure Signs

    How was the bolt lift? The primer doesn't show signs of pressure. I had ejector swipe on some new loads for my 6x47 Lapua but no other signs of pressure. I ran a dry chamber mop in the chamber and the pressure signs went away. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Homemade Case Lube

    +1 ... I have never had a stuck case or had any kind of problem with Imperial Sizing Wax. There's no reason to try re-inventing the wheel. + Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OCW at 200 yards?

    Here are the OCW instructions: http://optimalchargeweight.embarqspace.com/ocw-instructions/4529817134 . IMHO 200 yards is too far. Groups will be easier to identify at 100 yards. I strongly suggest you read the instructions for the OCW. Good luck. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
