    1:12 Remy 700Varmint with 175SMK's?

    Subject says it all. Most lists say up to 170gr but I have some 175's I had planned to use. What is the downside to using these with the faster twist?

    Cleaning pistol brass

    Re: Cleaning pistol brass With that volume you may want to look at cost vs. time. Personally I have used corn cob media with Nu Glo car polish for years with excellent results. Holds up well and does a really great job. Only downside is I have to run 6hrs. to get that factory new brass look...

    What progressive reloader for .223?

    Re: What progressive reloader for .223? , I think I understand your question being needing a press to do volume for the 223 first and formost. Then, as a sidenote you'll also want to load 338 also. Might want to consider two presses, one progressive for the high volume stuff and a single...

    can't close/ tight bolt.

    Re: can't close/ tight bolt. Like mentioned above, I too had the same problem (I was neck sizing only.) FL sizing solved the problem for me. I also invested in a chamber gage and equipment to measure case at shoulder and ogive. Now I can tell exactly how long my cases should be at the...

    Case trimming: Hate it!!

    Re: Case trimming: Hate it!! I use a Possum Hollow Kwick Case Trimmer with power adapter. The trimmer is under $30 most places. The power adapter is under $20 last I knew. Definitely not a Giraurd but I just can't justify the extra cost because I'm retired and reloading gives me something...

    unsafe reloader?

    Re: unsafe reloader? I know loads I learned from my father as a kid reloading for his gunshop. These won't ever change as they are proven winners for me. Too old to change. Now for the new accuracy loads I'm working on I'm using new manuals for powders not available years agao. Powders that...

    Does anyone full size AND neck size their brass?

    Re: Does anyone full size AND neck size their brass? Interesting topic! I came to the conclusion I will try FL sizing my cases twice, checking at the range to see if there is any noticeable difference. The way I shoot I doubt it will matter but since I'm still trying to become proficient I...

    Reloading Military Brass

    Re: Reloading Military Brass I like to use the Lee Universal Decapper die. It has saved so many bent decapping "pins" I feel it has paid for itself in time savings alone...(I say that as I realize it adds another step to my reloading sequence.) Also, be sure to setup your Dillon swager per...

    Bullet/Brass Purchasing

    Re: Bullet/Brass Purchasing I watch the "for sale" forums here and on AR.com's "equipment exchange." Plenty of other sites have "for sale" sections where you can find some really good deals it you take your time and are slightly flexible.
