    here is a newbi neck turning question ...

    I have been using the 21 st century neck turning lathe for over a year now, and it works great, everything John makes is top quality. Compared to the hand held K&M option while holding a drill it is far superior, and gives no fatigue to your hands, can turn cases all day long. You do of course...

    300 Win Mag - Norma 217 Results

    The Norma 217 is indeed not the best powder for a 338 Lapua, it is not far off from the old MRP 2. N570 would be my first choice for the 338. The 217 has not been a huge success for Norma like the old MRP 2, and why they wanted to change it is beyond my understanding. While not identical...

    I wanna start reloading. Any tips??

    Good presses for pistol and bulk ammo would be a Dillon, loading pistol ammo on a single stage is horrible if your doing more then a few rounds. A very good single stage for a decent price is the Forster CO AX. If you are not in a rush it is certainly what i would advice you to buy...

    Sauer 200STR Sig SSG3000 Q's

    1. Does the 6mmBR barrel have its own magazine or does it work with the 6.5x55/308 magazines? Could be single shot as far as I know. The 6mm BR can be made to feed quite well from the mag with mods. The easiest way is to strip a follower from a short 202 mag, replace it with the one in the...

    Headspace gage for the .338 Lapua Magnum?

    this is a old thread but if anyone is looking for a good 338 Lapua headspace gauge, Giraud tool company makes a good headspace gage/ comparator for 30 bucks. The digital one from Innovative technologies is my favorite though.

    Best way to prime?

    I have two primer seaters i use one from K&M and one from 21 st century. The feel you get with a press is not even close to what the 21 st century BR primer tool gives, the feedback is a lot better. And i love the adjustability, and ease of use witch is why it's the tool i use the most. I am...

    Choice of Reloading Press

    The harrels precision presses are really nice and well made. Have a 4 hole turret version too, and am very satisfied with it, i do not find the price terrible though. The size and prtability is nice, but do come at a cost of leverage and limits in case length. Use my single stage praeziress...

    Bushing for Redding 280 Ackley Improved Competition die set.

    No one can give you a correct answer without more info. Do you use a custom reamer, and what is the diameter of the chamber neck? The bushing you need is also dependent ob the brass you use. And your desired neck tension.

    Cleaning Brass: Sonic v Tumbler w/Stainless Stell Media

    SS tumbling won't work harden the brass. But if you let it tumble a long time you can sometimes find some peened/burred case mouths, especially if they are chamfered. High Binder is correct, and it's clearly the best and most comfortable way of cleaning brass. I tumble, FL size and trim it to...

    Remington vs. Winchester Brass - Feedback Needed

    If you want good brass you should look at european brass. The metallurgy is better, witch gives longer case life. More consistently produced. Flash holes consistency is a lot better as they are drilled and not punched, and yo usually wont find any burrs. Lapua. RUAg match. Norma RWS...

    Accurate scale?

    Yes well strain gauge balances are not accurate enough or reliable when trickling. And are meant for weighing static loads only. The auto drift compensation software also affects this. So if you want to trickle kernels of powder acurately and want a digital scale, you will have to swallow a...

    .408 Case Holder used for priming

    21st century shooting, SS priming tool has shellholders for the 505 Gibbs, shellholder 450. How it is to seat with a 408 case i have no idea about thouh, my cases are all a good deal smaller. As for sensitivity and feel you will not find a better priming tool anywhere.

    Accurate scale?

    If you want a really precise scale for reloading, weighing single kernels. The A&D FX120i is excellent, and as cheap as i would go. The Gempro can not accurately and reliably measure this, but the price should give a good pointer to that in the first place. Some seem to work fine, others have...

    Digital powder dispenser recommendations?

    It simply has to do with the scales weigh cells not being accurate enough to always register a few kernels when it trickles, and a straw mod and reprogramming has no effect on that what so ever. A strain gauge cell does not respond instantly and necessarily have the accuracy to measure tiny...

    Need press to be removable. What are you using?

    If you want a high quality, moveable realoding press, that takes up little space Harrels precision makes wonderful products. They're combo press works for standard dies and has a option to use Inline dies if you use them to seat, comes with removable C-clamps. The compact press is really small...

    Digital powder dispenser recommendations?

    THe CM does a good job, but if your using a AY 123, it has a strain gauge weigh cell, and the balance drifts quite noticeably just by itself, so i would take the measurements with a grain of salt. The video below quite clearly shows this when comparing a AY 313 to a AZ 313. Magnetic force...

    primer pocket cleaning with a uniformer?

    RCBS makes the primer pocket brushes, and they are usually in stock most places. The uniformer is not a one time use tool pr case, because if you do uniform your primer pockets to get consistent depth it will after a few firings have become inconsistent again, the primer pockets are affected by...

    Forster Co-Ax in stock at Brownells

    Sinclair still has them in stock for 306 $, witch certainly is a good deal. Buy them while they are still available, as there most likely will be some months before next batch, last i saw available was in December. Was contemplating on buying a new one last year, but since they was not in stock...
