    To Crimp or Not to Crimp?

    I never crimp my 308 gas gun loads. I use a Lee die with the expander polished down to give me 0.003 neck tension. My GAP-10 shoots sub-MOA all day with these loads.

    How often should I change my tumbler media?

    I change mine when the shininess of my brass starts to get duller. The corn cob is gray in color when that happens.

    First time reloading for a semi auto and the primer blew out.

    Do not crimp match bullets unless they have a cannelure.

    Primers for an auto loader .....question.

    I use CCI 200s in my 308 loads for my GAP-10 and have never had an issue. No firing pin spring either.

    Geissele dilema... DMR or National Match?

    +1. Order from them and you'll have all three NM triggers in one.

    Would be the best bullet weight for my Ar10?

    My GAP-10 has a Bartlein with the same twist and it shoots 168 AMAXs better than 175 SMKs. But I haven't taken it out to 1K yet.

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    That just seems like a lot of work when you can just throw them in a vibratory tumbler for like an hour. For my rifle rounds I decap them with a universal decapping die and then tumble them for 2 hours. Then I lube them, size them, trim them, and tumble off the lube. When I anneal, I do that...

    Temp test: AR Comp vs. Varget (308 Win.) + 223 Rem

    Go with the recommended loads. You can creep above the max if you want, but be very careful and look for pressure signs on every round until you get one that shows the signs. The reason why they seem low is because the burn rate is faster than powders like varget.

    Temp test: AR Comp vs. Varget (308 Win.) + 223 Rem

    Jesus! I would have sent that sucker back to RCBS for some work. I threw 50 charges of AR Comp with a CM right out of the box and only got 2 overcharges. And they were only by 0.1.

    Let's talk about precision reloading

    I would say annealing before sizing would be the best bet. That's weird that you size before cleaning... Do you just wipe off the brass or do you size it dirty?

    GAP-10 with adjustable stock input

    What are you going to use it for? Running and gunning or precision shooting?

    Type-s FL die runout - Help, what am I doing wrong?

    Why does numbers down matter? The bevel is the same on both sides of the bushing.

    Electronic powder dispenser

    I thought the intended purpose is to get accurate readings... I know some folks have issues with fluctuating readings on their scales. I'm just trying to employ whatever I can help keep things consistent.

    Electronic powder dispenser

    I got mine today and got it all set up. I installed some iron ferrite filter collars on the power cable to help with interference. I've read not to leave the power cable coiled up because it can create a magnetic field. Any truth to that? Anyone invest in a line conditioner to deal with...

    Question: Redding Type S Full Length Bushing Die

    For those of you using this die I have a question. I was sizing some Lapua once fired 30-06 last night and I noticed that the neck is not getting completely sized before the shoulder starts to bump. What I mean is, I can see where the lube ring goes down the neck and it's just shy of the...

    Chargemaster Reducing Inserts

    I just bought a CM and will definitely get one of these. There doesn't appear to be any negative reviews on the insert.
