    Under loading a 300 win mag

    Re: Under loading a 300 win mag So you are planning on putting a factory barreled action in a $1000+ dollar stock? I am the last one to want to discourage anyone but I would suggest you reconsider the approach here. Many here would argue that the barrel and trigger (trigger can be made...

    Under loading a 300 win mag

    Re: Under loading a 300 win mag I use a 7 Rem Mag loaded with the 120 gr V max and RL 22 powder sometimes. Low recoil, but not very efficient. 7 WSM or RSAUM would likely be better than the 7 Rem Mag if they would work with your mags. Dealing with the belt is somewhat annoying. 30-06 is a...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? Alright excellent now we are getting closer to being on the same page. I do all my development on a rock chucker, and once I find a load I like I set it up on the dillon. So far I haven't had any changes in runout that I can attribute to the press (I check...

    How precisely does a die re-screw into a press?

    Re: How precisely does a die re-screw into a press? I love the LNL bushings, I use them on a Rock Chucker Supreme. The Hornady LNL conversion kit has a threaded insert that replaces the 7/8-14 adapter that comes in the RCS press. Before that I had good luck with the Forster lock rings, I...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? Mulligan for sure! Sometimes I think that the wall of text on the internet gets to people. Its much easier to be an expert or mistake someone for a newbie when communication is limited to typed words. I see you are in Upland, that's by Ontario right...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? Point taken, I appreciate the clarification. No dreams were crushed in the making of this thread haha I have thicker skin than that. I don't get discouraged easily. I am not sure if I will see the results on a gauge, on the target, in brass life etc...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? This thread is amusing! I have got a good chuckle out of it. I never expected such an "exotic" question to be so inflammatory. I think a reading comprehension test should be part of the registration process. Not to mention the whole "Don't attack the new...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? I appreciate the tone. Makes me feel like I am getting advice from my grandfather again. We all know how inquisitive "kids" like myself can be. In all seriousness I understand I asked a poorly worded question (that some consider irrelevant) and shouldn't...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? Fair enough. I should have asked my question differently. Where else besides the neck bushing does a neck die contact the brass? I am not trying to prove a point or judge anything, I just don't understand how a neck only die works.

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? The rifle has a free floated WOA SDM barrel, a 1 in 7 twist match SS barrel with a Wylde chamber. I dont mean to be disrespectful but I can't find anywhere in the data that says that the FL sizing resizing only produces superior results. Reviewing the...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    Re: Case support in neck sizing die? The article can be found here: http://riflemansjournal.blogspot.com/2010/04/reloading-two-step-sizing-and.html If I am reading it right he suggests when you have a long way to go (sizing wise) it is prudent to size the brass down in two steps for less...

    Case support in neck sizing die?

    I have seen the Redding competition sleeve neck sizing dies, and it got me thinking about how a normal neck only sizing die works. I am considering adding an intermediate step to take my .223 brass from .254 down to .242 and I think running a neck die first before a FL die will give me what I...

    Ways to take advantage of extra station on RL550B

    Re: Ways to take advantage of extra station on RL550B CAPD= Case activated powder drop, this allows you to move the "powder" station to locations other than the second station. The spring back makes sense to me, I hadn't thought of that. I might switch over to the 2 toolhead method, it...

    Ways to take advantage of extra station on RL550B

    Re: Ways to take advantage of extra station on RL550B Thank you for your insights. I hadn't considered running the the brass through 2 toolheads. What is the advantage to running 2 separate neck sizing dies? Does the second die leave the neck close to the diameter of the expander ball? I was...

    Ways to take advantage of extra station on RL550B

    I just recently got my shellplate set up to load .223 on my RL550B. My current setup is for surplus powders/projectiles so no high expectations there. I want to set up a second toolhead for better quality (ie more concentric, more evenly charged, less violently resized) loads. I think separate...

    Is single stage press the way to go for precision?

    Re: Is single stage press the way to go for precision? Not mine but looks like the Whidden/Uniquetek toolhead with the floating Forster rings

    Thoughts on 9mm lead out of 38spcl

    Re: Thoughts on 9mm lead out of 38spcl The opposite very well could be dangerous, the only threat I could see with using undersize bullets would be not sealing the bore with super light loads and lodging a bullet in the bore, but with standard pressure loads that is unlikely. Just make sure...

    Thoughts on 9mm lead out of 38spcl

    Re: Thoughts on 9mm lead out of 38spcl They should be fine but might lead up the barrel quicker... also try cranking up the temperature on your pot, I have been able to cast 1 to 2 thousandths over size by raising the temp of the alloy. You also can tumble lube non tumble lube bullets. They...

    Suppressors Remington 870 vs Mossberg 590A1

    Re: Remington 870 vs Mossberg 590A1 I have spend a good amount of time with both and I prefer the Remington, however it is a weak preference as in greater than or equal to. I would trust either one. A 500 is lighter if you have to carry it but if not heavier can help with faster follow up...
