    Re: Variable runout - help!! I have an RCBS Case Master Gauge and had to modify it. It does not work properly from the factory. You will have to make sure the case rides on the web of the case instead of right above the web where there is a small bulge in fired brass. Also make sure the rim...

    what brass should i use?

    Re: what brass should i use? Lapua. One reason for me is, it takes so much of my time to prep the cases. Why not buy the one that will last the longest? Also with different brass manufacturers, your load will change a little due to different case capacity.

    Seating into the Lands?

    Re: Seating into the Lands? I've good luck with 0.05 off the lands. Have had no need to get up in the lands. I've been using Hornady A Max, Hornady spire point, and Sierra matchkings. Nothing but excellent results when you find that perfect powder charge.

    Primer Age?

    Re: Primer Age? Green labels are from the sixties to mid/late seventies. The red labels are from the eighties. That's about as far as I can help you. If you are unsure if they are good you can test them. Just prime up a case without powder and bullet of course, and test it. You will see a...

    Hornady, first press?

    Re: Hornady, first press? The only way I have found to get a good set up is piece it together yourself. Most kits will get you started but leave you wanting more, etc.
