    Gunsmithing Sticking cases (new 700 SPS)

    I agree, definitly check your brass any brass that has been streched and sized back that far is not long to this world, even one time, it will fail sooner than later.

    Gunsmithing Sticking cases (new 700 SPS)

    Sounds like you should have head space checked! real cheap insurance[be safe]... One way of adjusting your sizing of your brass to your chamber is redding shell holders they come in .002" increments in thickness so your shell holder still bottoms out against die but does not set shoulder back as...

    30-06 or 300WM/WSM

    tough to beat the 06. I have all the 30cal cartiges you mentioned if I could have only one it would be the 06, great for game out to 400 and whith high bc bullets good for out to 1000 for target shooting. Also in a pinch when your away from home hunting you go to any hardware store and find a...

    Range Report Unsure if I'm in the right place

    I"ve loaded , shot and hunted with both. My advise would to go with the 280 for an all around catrige it shoots about the same trajectory with plenty of knock down power at resonable hunting ranges [using the proper bullet and weight]. and if you think the 280 kicks like hell you are probably...

    Primer pocket uniforming

    just seat a primer in one, if it seats more than about .003"-.004" deeper than the base it is a bit much and will effect the the optimun penitration of the firing pin. If this is the case replace your uniformer.
