    Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunately, my smith got stolen by Surgeon, and isn't available, so I'm off to a new one with this info in hand.

    Brass sticks in barrel

    if the necks were too thick, would it still stick if I tried to lad it with empty brass. if its a tight chamber, can it be reamed by a smith?

I am shooting lapua brass (new) with 87g Scenars. some of my brass wont load, a lot of it loads snug, some loads great. I've had to knock out brass a couple times that wouldn't eject after...

    Suppressors coping with changes from my cans

    Thanks for the reply's. They are great cans, Thunder Beasts (338BA and 30BA). My accuracy is what it was with brakes, so that has been repeatable, just took a bit to dial them in. Not sure why my 308 took so much to get back to zero. My frustration is with the cans is mirage, so early in the...

    Suppressors coping with changes from my cans

    Am I the only person who is kind of disappointed by switching to cans. My recoil got worse, making it all but impossible to watch the target at impact.

    Which progressive press

    Re: Which progressive press I have the LNL, and have never been able to get it to seat primers consistently enough to prevent me from just giving up and priming all my rounds by hand. Still faster than a single stage, but not what I had hoped for. Hornady's support has been great, but form...

    .300 Win Mag/208 A-Max. H-1000 or Retumbo?

    Re: .300 Win Mag/208 A-Max. H-1000 or Retumbo? Ive had great results with H 1000. Have had trouble finding Retumbo, but with the results I've gotten, I dont know that its worth trying to work up a load with Retumbo. I've found accuracy of about .250 using 71.7 with Hornady brass.
