    Hornady how did you manage this?

    I don't think anyone's immune like said previously. It's the manufacturers customer support that counts. I recently ordered a 308 die set from MidwayUSA. When it arrived the decapping pin was loose & wobbly. Called RCBS and they sent me a new die set regardless of my protest that it was just the...

    Crimped primer pockets

    After removing the crimp, I would then use a Lyman Primer Pocket Uniformer. That should take care of it. Works great on the Trim Mate! You should only have to use the uniformer once on your brass. It should not need uniformed again in the future. I'm still a newb, but I've found it very very...

    Question - Reloading for MEGA MA-TEN 308

    I will certainly consider that recommendation. I'm not extremely knowledgeable about runout, but when using a die set (like you recommended) should you also be checking the thickness of your case mouth? Or would that not be necessary unless you wanted additional consistency & accuracy? I...

    Question - Reloading for MEGA MA-TEN 308

    That's kinda what I've read too, but wasn't sure. I will probably just get a RCBS 2-die set with a regular full length sizing die.

    Case trimmer

    I love my L.E. Wilson Case Trimmer! I bought the 50 BMG version, but it works with any smaller cases as well. The power attachment is well worth the few bucks. All you need is a different case holder for each type of case you intend to trim. They work excellent. Nice & consistent too!

    Question - Reloading for MEGA MA-TEN 308

    A couple years ago I put together a monolithic MEGA MA-TEN with a Noveske 18" barrel (mid length gas) and a Rock River Arms NM 2 stage trigger (may upgrade soon). It shoots real nice, but I just got into reloading and figured I'd work up a load for this rifle. I have no other 308 rifles so I...

    Bastard 50 BMG Surplus Ammo, What to do with it?

    If you have no intention of reloading it then I'd list it for sale as components EXACTLY as you have already described. Also add a huge red warning/disclosure to be redundant. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would want the brass and projectiles. From what I understand, in order to...
