    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    No, not at all. It chambers and shoots fine until I get up to about 76.5 g of H1000. And now that I think about it, it shot fine with Hornady factory ammo going about 2980. Its just the sizing that buggers it up. I'll check around local and see what if any of the local Smith's have come up...

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    I measured the diameter of the base just above the rim on a new case and a sized case with a micrometer and got 0.004 larger on the sized case.

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    I would rather not go the custom route if I can avoid it. I sent off a message to Hornady about their match grade die. I had to try the Hornady because The Redding was not available when my rifle was done. It looks to be the same situation 3 months later. I measured the base of new brass and...

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    Boy, you may be correct. I just marked my case and ran it up the die and I can see 0.140 that is not sized. Great.

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    Using a black marker on the case it looks like the sizing stops about 0.140 short of full length. Can this be correct? I would expect it to go nearly all the way to the end of the case.

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    So, I put in a case and ran it up in the die. It appears to be 100 percent sized.

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    I am not sure I know how to answer that. I adjust the press and the Redding types s full length bushing die to bump the shoulder 0.002 with a slight cam over on the press. How would I determine how far the case goes into the die?

    Gunsmithing Rem Action Hangs Up At the Top

    Hi Guys, Its a 300 PRC built around a trued remmington 700 LA connected to a 26" Bartlein 1:9. During load development shooting Hornady 212 ELDX in front of anything greater than 76.6 grains of H1000, the bolt hangs up slightly near the top of the throw. With a little more effort the bolt clicks...

    Lyman Ezee Hand Primer

    I've used the large primer size for years and loved it. When I switched to precision shooting and small primers it's been a PIA. Stuck primers, crushed primers, I could go on and on. I shoot a lot so I need something similarly fast as the hand primer. Recommendations? Thanks!

    300 prc neck bushing size

    One more thing if you don't mind. I see a couple of reviews on the Hornady match and they mention using Redding bushings. Do you know if this is legit? Thanks

    300 prc neck bushing size

    That sounds like just what I am looking for. The Hornady match die may even be easier to find. Thanks for your help I am going to see If I can find one.

    300 prc neck bushing size

    Great info. Thank you. I was not aware of the tapered neck. I have a mandrel die, so I am thinking a .333 bushing with a mandrel. I am still short a bushing die so I'll look into the hornady.

    300 prc neck bushing size

    Can someone who is shooting the 300 PRC provide some input on the neck bushing size please. I am trying to get it right on the first try. I know, I know, but trying anyway. I mainly shoot steel and prefer minimal tension. I am using Hornady brass (is there any other kind)? My calculations for...
