+1 for 4064. I have about 8 lbs of it for 223 and 308. Thats the powder i use for them. I have imr 4320, varget, H380 and 3031 on reserve. My main load was 178 amax with 44.4 grain varget cci large rifle primers lc cases trimmed to 2.008 and bullet seated way out there at 2.31 on the...

also a cheap dehydrator can be used to dry them fast. mine dries 200 cases in loading blocks neck down in about 30 minutes.

PPU cases never functioned in my 700. i stopped using them years ago because issues like you are having. As suggested and what im going with is the case pressure from the thicker case(even thicker than lc). Definitly get some different brass to try out. go to the gun range and look on the...

its a really old one. i ran it on the slowest setting and bit very very slow. Did your jig have the drill plates with it or is it single stage with just the opening.

harbor freight sells a mill attachment for drill presses. let me find it. 6" Cross Slide Vise its very similar to this. I did 2 lowers using only this a few drill bits and stopped at a machine shop supplier and got a 17 dollar 3/8's 2 flute mil bit 4 inch's long.

im thinking about going to ASC this weekend. I just installed a 20 moa base so i have enough elevation for 600 but have never shot passed 300 before. Going to go get set up and practice and zero on the 3 then qualify for 6. If anyone else will be there i would love some pointers or help.

as well as the fact that your rings might not line up perfect with the new base. the grooves in the rail might not be 100% in the same spot. If you are worried about having to re level and all that what you can do is remove one of the rings and leave one still attached and tight. Then after...

according to batf you have to cut the receiver. It is illegal to have someone cut it for you. It is very easy. The first one i did came out a little rough on the inside but it works flawlessly. The second is mirror smooth and works flawlessly as well. i would recommend getting...
