    Neck sizeing vs. full length?

    Re: Neck sizeing vs. full length? Uh oh, don't flame me - factory barrels for the most part (not all factory chambers). If I haven't said it before then allow me to reiterate a point I make often: neither my rifles nor I could discern any significant advantage betwixt NS and FL sizing based...

    Bushings for dies?

    Re: Bushings for dies? Are they Type S dies? Those and the Competition die sets require bushings. The easiest way is to measure a loaded round and subtract .002-.003" from that measurement to determine your probable bushing size.

    What are the different ways to Anneal brass?

    Re: What are the different ways to Anneal brass? One problem I encountered using a deep socket was that the heads of the cases will get too hot if you reach the temp to anneal the necks. I prefer a wet rag, but I've yet to figure out how to spin it with a drill. lol GenePool and Tripwire...

    .308 Match?

    Re: .308 Match? Yep. To duplicate said load (basically same as M852): Sierra Matchking, Fed LR gold medal match primers (#210M), IMR4064 powder

    Neck sizeing vs. full length?

    Re: Neck sizeing vs. full length? I'm slowly becoming an advocate for FL sizing. It's usually more concentric, you can generate higher pressure with less powder, and it always feeds reliably. Invest in a quality FL die and learn how to set it up like the guys above described. In my...

    NEW TO RELOADING QUESTION

    Re: NEW TO RELOADING QUESTION The advice above is all sound, there's no special tools to making better ammunition than the next guy. I believe what they're getting at, is just as when you were new to shooting, you are now new to reloading; and just as when you were new to shooting, the best...

    Manual Powder Measures

    Re: Manual Powder Measures I've got a Redding BR-30 and 3BR, both quite nice. I use the BR30 more because I load more 223 and 308 than anything, but running them side-by-side, they are equally nice. The edge on consistency goes to the BR-30 if you only load within its range. Iv'e also had...

    fire forming

    Re: fire forming Are you doing this with a wildcat? The cream of wheat method works great, or just shoot the standard round through your chamber, one firing on brass isn't enough to wear it down significantly (unless it's 30-30 or 22 Hornet or something). If you have a real barrel burner of...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Someone else should answer with their input too, I seem to be dominating this thread. The reason I anneal isn't for the brass tension benefits; I'm not shooting it from anything that would reveal that level of detail, nor do I believe I'm of that skill...

    Reloading, Step by Step

    Re: Reloading, Step by Step These forum I'm linking to is neither professional, progressive, modern, nor courteous, but before I joined here I wrote this tek for their forum to help the newbies sort out the good info from the old timer's tired methods of ridiculing each other and insisting...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help I don't shoot at the level to notice it, nor are my guns set up with strict enough standards to emphasize it, so I can't really speak about any accuracy changes (whether good or bad) done by annealing. What I can speak of is twofold: one, neck tension is...

    First time annealing, need help

    Re: First time annealing, need help Ice cube tray: clever idea, give it a shot. How are you going to quench the cases? Case neck softness: shouldn't deform by hand. It will be metallurgically softer, but not anything you'd notice by hand. You can use junk cases and squeeze them with...

    .223 reloading??

    Re: .223 reloading?? Using bulk products and buying in large numbers, I can get the cost of a 223 reload to around 30 cents, I recently figured. The cheapest bulk I'm really finding is around 50 cents, unless you hate life/rifles and will run steel through your gun at around 26 cents. So...

    Hornady sonic case cleaner ..good?

    Re: Hornady sonic case cleaner ..good? I've done it. Just get all the water off and oil them - oil "sticks" and will flush water from the pores.

    Hornady sonic case cleaner ..good?

    Re: Hornady sonic case cleaner ..good? I got the equivalent to the smaller Hornady LNL sonic cleaner, mine is called GemOro or something like that (got if off Amazon for $60!). I'm very happy with how mine cleans. Like any new tool, there's a learning curve to finding out run times and...
