Re: Frustrated with RCBS 502 beam scale Thank you for all the comments so far! One thing I did just consider is nearby music. I was listening to music a bit louder than usual while I was loading that day, perhaps bass vibrations were causing the issues. Other then that, I have no AC or...

Perhaps some here have come across this issue: Each time I load I zero my RCBS 502 scale using RCBS check weights. Most of the time, as I check every 10 rounds or so, the scale holds its zero. However there are times where the zero seems to vary by as much as 3/10ths of a grain. Today for...

Re: .308 brass--which brand do you prefer? I enjoy Lapua, however I don't have any experience with the other brands you listed. Lapua has always been consistent and of very high quality for me. Pretty much ready to load out of the box, minus a few dinged necks once and a while.

Re: Brass Shavings from priming? (pics) UPDATE: I tried the Lee tool with a different lot of primers with the same result as far as them not seating all the way. I'm thinking the tool took a dump somehow. That said, I'll keep a close eye on my primer pockets and make absolutely sure the...

Background: I usually prime with a Lee hand tool, which works quite well, however on this batch of mixed year LC .223 brass I've noticed the Federal 205M primers don't want to seat all the way into the brass with the Lee tool. I decided to switch to my Co-Ax press to see if that would seat...

Re: Forster Co Ax question Question for you guys: I bought the Co-Ax and am wondering about die setup. My RCBS FL sizing die wants full contact with the shell holder. Is running the die flat against the shell holder jaws on the Co-Ax the same thing? I'd hate to have it set that way...

Re: Forster Co Ax question Thank you for the info. I started loading when I was 16 with a Lee Challenger press. It finally broke the other day while I was swaging so I'm in the process of looking for a new press. I have a friend who has anything I could need so I may buy the Co Ax and...

Will the Co-Ax accept a standard shell holder in some fashion? I use the RCBS swager which would require a standard shell holder attachment of some sort. Thanks!

I just got back from the range and wanted to share my results from some load testing. The basic load info is: Lapua once fired, neck sized brass Federal 210M primers Hornady 178 AMAX RE15 powder Rifle: Factory Remington 700P in .308 Win Super Sniper scope Acculock base Seekins Rings I had...

Re: International Sniper Competition on T.V. Is anyone planning on making copies available for those of us less fortunate enough to have the MIL channel? Send me a PM if so. Thanks!

Re: D.O.D mutilation of once fired brass We're in for a fight! Call your reps, I will be after work.

Re: MN member checking in! Hey everyone, just found this thread and wanted to post up! I'm living in Grand Forks, ND right now, however I'm originally from the east side of the cities. I've always been looking for LR rifle events in the area. I shoot high power service rifle up here during...
