    Forster case neck trimmer

    Re: Forster case neck trimmer I posted this last week and still haven't got it resolved, so I thought I'd bring the topic BBT. I have tried screwing the handle down tighter, but it seems to do no good. It just unscrews itself as fast as you can turn it! I used it for a while with no trouble...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers I know this thread kinda got off track from the originsl subject of switching primers, but I just thought I'd check in in let you guys know that I got that Vortex PST ffp 6-24 ordered today and it is on its way. Tracking says I should have it next Monday. Not sure how...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24x50 in stock anywhere?

    Re: Vortex PST 6-24x50 in stock anywhere? Thanks Firebird. I thought it all sounded legit, so I gave him my credit card info over the phone. Then, afterwards, I started second guessing myself for ordering from someone I didn't know anything about. Your post helps put my mind at ease on that...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24x50 in stock anywhere?

    Re: Vortex PST 6-24x50 in stock anywhere? Thanks for the responses. I had tried cameralandNY and they told me it could be a few weeks before they get any. Also tried just about everybody else I could think of and got the same story. I did, however, call the phone number on that eBay listing...

    Rifle Scopes Vortex PST 6-24x50 in stock anywhere?

    I've made numerous phone calls to all the major optics retailers this morning, trying to buy a Vortex PST 6-24x50 ffp MOA/MOA and nobody seems to have them in stock or has much idea when they will get any. Do any of you guys happen to know of somebody I could call to find one in stock and ready...

    new to reloading, hornady or rcbs?

    Re: new to reloading, hornady or rcbs? I'm not familiar with Hornady Classic kit, but I have a Rock Chucker Supreme and it is very well made and gets the job done with no complaints from me.

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers I really like my CZ a lot. In fact, I like it so much that I'm planning to get another one in .338 Lapua. CZ uses a single set trigger that I really like. The downside is that they have dovetails milled into the receiver and rings will only fit in one spot. I had to go...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers I've read lots of reviews and compared its specs to many other options I was considering and it seems to be just what I'm looking for at a reasonable price. Another consideration is that it seems to be a very popular scope, so if I end up not liking it for some reason...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers Thanks for the recommendation BB, but I've about driven myself nuts reading reviews and specs on scopes for the past few weeks and I finally settled on the Vortex PST. It wasn't an easy decision and I went back and forth between several different models before I was able...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers Yes, I'm seriously looking at a Vortex PST 6-24 with FFP. In fact, if it wasn't the weekend, I would be making some phone calls to check on availability to place an order. I'm almost certain that I'll have one ordered sometime Monday. I'm using an old Springfield Armory...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers OK, I just got home from the range and I'm not sure quite what to think about my results. It certainly wasn't what I expected as my "pet loads" did not perform so well. Of course, I did use only CCI primers this time and have been using Remington primers in the past...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers I'm going to try to get to the range early in the morning and shoot these 20 rounds that I've loaded and will report back here anything of interest. I think I understand what you're saying, BB, about a quality barrel being easier to find an accurate load with. However...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers Yes, BB, you got it straight...sort of. I didn't really select a primer at random; I selected Remington because they are the only primers on the shelf at my local store. I started working on the load and was stopping by a friend's house on the way home from the range to...

    Forster case neck trimmer

    I have a Forster case neck trimmer and my crank handle keeps coming unscrewed as I turn it. What the heck am I doing to cause this? I keep screwing it back in and then it unscrews itself as I turn the next case. It just started happening yesterday. I've used it numerous times in the past without...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers thanks! I'll print it out. I have been shooting some of the same loads over and over in order to assess consistency. Between 43 and 44.5, I was not happy with results, but when I stick somewhere near 45, I've been getting good groups. I just loaded 5 rounds each of 44.8...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers I did fail to mention in my original post to this thread that I had shot 45.2 grains of Varget in a previous shooting session, using Remington primers, and had a much smaller group...closer to 3/4 in, so it could be that it was me who caused the big variation in group...

    Lead Exposure??

    Re: Lead Exposure?? In the past, I worked as a painter and sanded and scraped on many houses with lead paint. I've been crimping split shots onto my fishing line with my teeth for over 40 years. I shoot black powder and handle lots of lead balls. Some of my friends might disagree, but I don't...

    switching primers

    Re: switching primers Thanks Carter. I was kinda wondering if switching primers like that might present some safety concerns. My friend, who gave me the CCI primers, has been reloading for decades and I'm certain that he is very safety conscious, so when he suggested that I try that load with...
