    Help with case trimming

    Re: Help with case trimming I'm with Tripwire, find your shortest case and as long as it is between the trim-to and the max length, which it is since they have only been shot three times, set your trimmer to that case and have at it. There is no other way to get them all the same length. If...

    Question on neck sizing and case trimming

    Re: Question on neck sizing and case trimming If you are going to shoot the cases through the same gun all the time and you do neck size, you may still need a full length die. When you shoot the round, the case gets fire formed to your chamber. After several firings it can/will get tight...

    Dillon Super 1050 disappointment

    Re: Dillon Super 1050 disappointment Everyone has varying degrees of mechanical ability. My guess is that if they had to produce a set of instructions to meet everyones ability/inability it would weigh more than the machine. I have a 650 with most, if not all the options. I took my time...

    New chrony. Unsatisfactory results.

    Sierra 175gr Match King vs. Hornady 178gr A-Max

    Re: Sierra 175gr Match King vs. Hornady 178gr A-Max I don't think you can go wrong either way but I also shoot the Amax. I use 168's with 45.0 of Varget because I was told to by someone who has a couple of world records. I used to shoot SMK's but was going for some training and the guy...

    Re: My first 50 rounds Great job, great shooting and a sweet rig! Thats what it is all about. I don't mean to sound like my Dad but the control freak in me wants to tell you to get in the habbit of emptying your powder back into its original container. Sooner or later you will have more...

    Waste of time? Measuring cases, projectile& powdr
