Same... had a great experience with them and their work. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I've worked my way through 100 old LC Match cases that I've reloaded 11 times. I've been using a regular Hornady 308 die and have been bumping the shoulder around 2-3 thousandths. They're pretty thin around the base so I think they're toast. I'm getting ready to crack into a stash of Lapua...

I have an old AI AWM that has the canted integral night vision mount welded to to the chassis. The rifle is a G22 variant that the German military has used for years. At any rate, the mount was originally designed to be used specifically with with a Hensoldt NSV 80 clip on and the Hensoldt...

If you've got one, I want one.

Welp... found the problem. Brass needed to be full length resized. I bumped the shoulder 3 thou. No heavy bolt lift, easy extraction, life is good. Shot same load today around 70 degrees. Shoots very well. Primers look a touch flat. I suspect that if I add another 30 degrees to the...

I don't have a ton of experience with 2000mr but that's less variance per degree than the reloader 15 I've been chewing through for years.

How far off the lands were you loading? I'm currently at 20 thou, not jammed by an any stretch.

I’m sure it is to an extent. I set the die up so it bumps the shoulder back .002 when measured against a fired case. I’m not bottoming the die out on the shell plate.

Bore scope ordered... the amount of doo dads for this is never ending.

Yeah... it's just a regular hornady die that I set up to bump the shoulder. I understand it's not reaching the web of the case the way I have it set.

I can go lower on the die. I didn't think of carbon ring but that's worth looking at. Primers look good. I was only shoulder bumping about .002 then neck size for two or three loads and repeat. Maybe should just stick with the shoulder bump with a full length die and see what happens. Any...

Not sure what's going on but hopefully you guys might be able to help me trouble shoot. I had a load I was using last winter that started giving me some stiff bolt lift as the weather has warmed up. I my load was 46.5 2000MR in old Lake City match brass with a 190 smk 20 thou off the lands...

I was thinking I'd like to have one of the older 1/12 26 inch barrels for my AW 308. I'm talking about the one with the thinner profile and coke bottle shaped shoulder. Almost looks like it might have been a light palma. Anyone have any info on these barrels regarding dimensions or who might...

Well Crap, thanks for the info. I've got a good consistent load using large rifle primers. I was hoping to be able to run a little harder with the small rifle primer but maybe this isn't going to work.
