Hello Powerstroke (Ford truck I take it)... The dies' sequence sounds right and YES, do use a Powder-Cop in there before your seating (and watch it every time you pull). What you have described is a fairly Production Oriented reloading situation for the ammo. You are Improving the Quality (low...
Sorry for Semi Hijack... Do you guys see much Recoil Variation from Lighter to Heavier bullet .308 Loads in these F Guns? Thanks and sorry for a little deviation...
RCBS - GREAT COMPANY as I was hoping they would be. Simple & good-natured 5 Min. call to RCBS remedied this problem quickly. I just send them my Primer-Pocket Swaging Kit... and They will send back BOTH the Large & Small Primer-Crimp Cutters that they sell for their Case Prep' Center as an...
Ahhh $%@*!, Bigedp51 is Right...! Just mic'ed the button and it IS 0.1755., and I WAS able to push a primer into a few cased with finger pressure! This pisses me off! I will be on the horn to RCBS on Tuesday for a refund in form of something else I CAN use and give them something back that I...
Wow, did not know about dimension change... I did take one of the toughest in the process and just seat a primer for the sake of "testing" and it felt good going in with an RCBS hand-priming tool so I think the pocket size is about right. I will take calipers to the Button and see where my kit...
NEW INFO / EDIT... SEE: Bigedp51 2 Posts Below: HE's RIGHT! I don't know how many use this kit with the die-body, the Large & Small Rods and the "shell holder Swaging studs". Just used for first time tonight on a box of military 5.56 brass and found it a Beast to use for the up-stroke which...
.002-.003 would be just right. I always trim after FL sizing too with my 3-way cutter head in RCBS shell trimmer. Gotta' get that perfect length, neck chamfer and head-spacing for us OCD gas-gun shooters... You're Hired!!! We can compare swapped batches for Quality Controll, ha- ha HAPPY NEW...
Hi Gunny Gorsky, That tub of your brass looks good. Would you hook me up if I sent over a Thousand for that nice lookin' prep and you can just send it back. Don't worry, I'll cover the postage...;) (Let's see if this works guys...)
I wouldn't waste your time with those little shells,....just send them to me, I'll get rid of them for you. (Let's see if this old trick works guys...he, he, he) SD
What are impressions of recoil difference between .308 / 155 BTHP Match Loads and Standard Military 7.62 ball ammo? Anything to speak of or the same? Struggling to make decision between 7mm-08 as next barrel or go with the old "universal" alternative. Only shooting paper for smallest groups I...
8208-XBR is a Fantastic powder with Nos. CC 69 BTHP Bullets. In an 18"' 1-8, Shilen select match AR barrel I get better groups than the gun will shoot with Black Hills 77 red-box. I use Tula 556M primers too, so nothin' fancy. It runs like $1.20 per round ammo for about $.25 / $.30 a...
Hello Again bbowles, If you live within an hour or so of Palm Beach, FL I'll be happy to show you the basics (and some more precision things) that you will be getting into on my Bench. The DIES that you have picked are FANTASTIC and will make VERY Straight ammo. ALSO...particularly with any AR...
Hi Bowles, You have a very nice list of reloading tools there. I don't have a powder dispenser or a neck-size / bump gage in my kit and would like to. In answer to your question of a improving accuracy in your rifle by hand loading your own stuff I give a Resounding YES! The ammo I make by...
Get the LEE HAND PRESS (aka..Big Red Lobster Claw), a Lee universal Decap Die and Start SNAPIN'. I can blow through a case every 2-3 seconds which is about 20-30 a minute. For all ammo I make in Auto Pistols and .223 I Always Decap before Ultra Sonic cleaning. RIFLE gets: Decap Ultarsonic...
