Would I still cut it down a bit and just seat the partition into the case?

I would be much more comfortable crimping them for this rifle. If I didn't and I seated deeper, all rounds but the FTX the case mouth would pass the bearing surface towards the ogive so they'd have to be cut back anyway. I've pondered this option as well. I suppose I could try cutting it back...

Hey all, I'm loading for a Henry 45/70 and I'm running into some issues. I realize this isn't exactly precision rifle, but I'm really running out of places to ask this. So I loaded up a bunch of Speer HotCor 350gr flat nose rounds to the Speer loading manual COAL. I ended up having to single...

I spoke with Rich on the phone yesterday looking for a couple recommendations. I was planning to push a 195 EOL at 2900-3000 from a 24" 1:8, he said I'd likely *touch* 2900 if I really stand on it but not much more. This threw a wrench in my plans since I was building this for LR Hunting with...

Is seating at the lands a must for this step?

Thanks Will! Would you happen to have any recipes for powders that are still easy to obtain? It's not looking like we'll be seeing H1000 any time soon. :(

Hey all, I'm in the process of building a 7SS with a Bighorn TL3 and a 24" Proof 8T CF barrel. I'm very new to fireforming and want to make sure I get it correct. I intend to shoot 195 EOLs as the main hunting bullet, but I'm looking for some info on how to form the brass. I was planning to...

You're running 195's?

So I just wanted to circle back... I ditched the Forster FLS for a Redding Bushing FLS. I fed it through the bushing die, once finished I ran it over the expander and then adjusted the Giraud trimmer slightly to remove that flare, the deburr and chamfer came out perfect.

Hey all, I'm in the middle of a 7ss build and I'm planning to run the 195 EOLs. I was looking at RE26, H1000 and VV N565, does anyone have information regarding what powders I should look into or velocity I should expect? Extra points if you can point me to a Quickload cartridge file / H2O...

Thanks for sharing Peter, I'll have the Sinclair expander die in tomorrow. I'm going to grab a Redding type-S FLS bushing die this afternoon as well and give it a go. Most all of the powders I use for the 300 are out of stock everywhere so I have time to fire these a couple times and...

So I'm running into this issue with a 300WM using a FLS non-bushing type. I've had it for about 3 firings, I have annealed the last two times and still come across this. I've ran it through a neck sizer to see if I could get rid of it, that didn't work. The FLS didn't work. I believe I may be...

PM sent.

Is this still available? And can you confirm that this is a LA or SA?

I'm looking to use the reticle during range sessions, so the requirement is that whichever optic I go with will need to have an MRAD reticle. I would be willing to take a SLIGHT hit in picture quality for that feature.
