    single stage press

    Re: single stage press depending on how many calibers you are running, both redding and RCBS are good choices. I like the Rock Chucker for RCBS, I like the older model though that did not have the ambidextrous arm because of the angle of the arm compared to the new ones. I also really like my...

    Is Neck Turning worth it?

    Re: Is Neck Turning worth it? sinclair 1000 neck turning tool and a small handheld drill. That is just one example right after I finished neck turning. It could have been the wind wasn't as shifty that day or the lot of bullets I was shooting has a more consistent BC bullet to bullet. The...

    Is Neck Turning worth it?

    Re: Is Neck Turning worth it? Whether or not neck turning is important is depending on the type of shooting you do and the rig you are shooting. One 308 I shoot in 600yd competitions I noticed a difference turning some LC brass down. I was shooting a few fliers out the the 8 ring every now...

    Retard Loads & Bullet Seating

    Re: Retard Loads & Bullet Seating If it were me I would just get a bushing die and use a larger dia bushing for thicker brass. It would save you this trouble and you could adjust with different lots of brass for a consistent neck tension.

    Bad Primers or Weak Firing Pin?

    Re: Bad Primers or Weak Firing Pin? My fault for not reading too thoroughly, Which primers did not ignite? 215's or CCI? Have you broken the rounds apart that the primers did not ignite on? If so were they intact or was the priming compound ignited and some of the powder at the bottom of the...

    depriming

    Re: depriming I would wait for some others to weigh in on it but I wouldn't see any reason why you couldn't do it.

    depriming

    Re: depriming In theory it will work but you might bend a rod or break a couple pins and fuck up your die. You wont get it down far enough that it won't touch the walls of your die. Can't you run them through the SS media twice? once to clean the outside so you can properly size them and then...

    Bad Primers or Weak Firing Pin?

    Re: Bad Primers or Weak Firing Pin? cratering of the primers can happen even with light loads if you have an over sized firing pin hole, but it could be the the primers were not seated all the way or the cases were over sized and the primers came too far out before they were reseated as the...

    Why Not Reloder17 in .338LM?

    Re: Why Not Reloder17 in .338LM? I use expansion ratio to determine what powders I feel would work best in a given cartridge. Given the low expansion ratio it generally is a rule the lower the ratio the slower the powder. Now given that their is no actual scale for expansion ratio to burn...

    Why Not Reloder17 in .338LM?

    Re: Why Not Reloder17 in .338LM? Too fast for the LM in my opinion. RL-33 is developed with the same concepts in mind as RL17 by the same company and specifically meant for 338LM. If it were me I would get my hands on some of that if you are looking for extreme velocities without having...

    Ground squirrel caliber thoughts, 308 bolt/ AI mag

    Re: Ground squirrel caliber thoughts, 308 bolt/ AI mag I would say go with a regular old 22-250. You can pick up factory loaded ammo if you are in dire need and it will give you a little more barrel life over the AI variant. But any of the stuff listed will kill pretty well for blowing up...

    700 Varmint 223 advice

    Re: 700 Varmint 223 advice Yep you are screwed for shooting anything over a 55gr pretty much. I would shoot some 55gr blitzkings, they shoot very well out of a 1x12 twist.

    question about under loading the powder charge

    Re: question about under loading the powder charge It will be slower and slower loading down to the point where you stick a bullet in the barrel but you will not be anywhere near that point just by bumping it down a couple grains. Just don't load 1/2 of the published charge and expect to be...

    Remington 338 Lapua Magnum recall

    I doubt this is the right place for this topic but I figured it would be good to know in case anyone has some of this Ammo on the shelf. http://www.guns.com/remington-recalls-338-lapua-magnum-scenar-match-ammo-11316.html

    Brass sizing

    Re: Brass sizing I FL size every time whether it be for a bolt or semi-auto. If you can properly setup a FL die you will be good to go, and you will know your brass will always chamber.

    DOUBLE SHOULDER

    Re: DOUBLE SHOULDER I would say that possibly someone ran it in the wrong die and it formed to the other die and kept its original shoulder also. I've seen something similar when you fun a 223 into a 300 AAC blackout die without an expander in it.

    Load Development vs Stock Replacement

    Re: Load Development vs Stock Replacement I agree with 308sako in part, I think that if you tuned a load to the harmonics of your rifle you should easily get 1/2MOA or better with good match bullets. Now that is what the rifle can do and I believe that a stock helps with utilizing what the...
