    Rifle Scopes Factory Freaks

    LL and Culpeper I agree completely with both of your statements. Optic gunsights are a tool, nothing more, nothing less. We use that tool to achieve a goal. ie LL putting a bullet on target. However there is a big difference between a beat-ass Pinto and a Lexus LFA. The pinto will get you there...

    308 Piston bolts any difference?

    Uhhh you can't use a POF bolt carrier in a DI gun. If you have a gas tube a POF bolt carrier will smash it. The POF carrier has it's gas key section machined right into the carrier and there is no opening for a gas tube. I can post a pic if you want as to why this wont work if you need.

    Rifle Scopes Factory Freaks

    And that is my exact point LL! When you make an inquiry here or anywhere about which is better, almost all input is invalid. Not only each person sees each optic different, the variances between each and EVERY one are different. The reason for this post is I just got in a second scope, identical...

    Rifle Scopes Factory Freaks

    I wanted some input on this... I have heard this so many times "Which scope is better ____ or ____?" And the conversation usually goes on post after post about how this scope or that looks sooo much better and clearer and "____ brand done!" What I would like to know is how much of that is...

    Can I get away with just neck sizing on my semi-auto?

    10-4 on that Graham. Is a Wylde chamber considered tight?

    Can I get away with just neck sizing on my semi-auto?

    Yes Grahm if the case is too long for the headspace of the rifle the bolt will be hard to cam closed or even close at all. My bolt gun was reamed with extremely tight HS. Just enough for the bolt to have some resistance against the GO-Guage. A benchrest builder set up my tac rifle.

    I see what you guys are saying now about the case growing too long to have proper headspace, it makes sense.

    Thanks guys I understand about partial length resizing now. That's what you guys were talking about "bumping the neck" I didn't even realize that could/should be done.

    Can I get away with just neck sizing on my semi-auto?

    I never asked a question about FL sizing for my bolt guns. I have thought NS was the way to go since I started handloading about a year ago and never had an issue so didn't ask. I just bought 2 semi's a 308 and a 223 so this is the first I have started HL with them. I always thought to FL size...

    I don't understand how you mean to adjust the die, unless my die is one that is non-adjustable. except adjusting the height of the decapping pin. post images

    what do you mean by a properly set up FL die?? Are there some that are better than others? I use a regular old Lee deluxe kit for .223 should I be using something better?

    I disagree with this statement. When I have dedicated brass for one bolt rifle which is all quality Lapua brass I have got <-+> 30 loadings by neck sizing only. I have had to trim but not very often maybe once or twice during that lifespan.

    The only benefit is that you don't work the brass as hard, I guess this could be mitigated by annealing. FL sizing does work the brass pretty hard doesn't it?

    Why wouldn't it ignite? if the round seats in the chamber ignition shouldn't be an issue. Bolt guns have no issue feeding fireformed neck sized cases, what would the difference be? That is one of the reasons brass is used because it blows up against the chamber walls then shrinks back.

    Can I get away with just neck sizing on my semi-auto?

    I was told that I had to full length size when I am prepping brass for a gas gun by several guys. If I am prepping brass that is and will only be shot out of the same rifle why can't I just NS?? I did NS some of the brass from that rifle and it feeds and ejects just fine. I can't see how it...

    Help selecting a proper tumbler

    I really don't ever see myself needing to clean that many cases. So the pins get stuck in the flash holes just like those husk pieces?
