    Lee collet die is buckling my brass :(

    I did watch a couple YouTube vids. What does sanding the collet outside do for you? Are we trying to keep the collet from staying closed? I ended up screwing the die out half a turn and the rest of my brass seemed to run as advertised.

    Lowering ES whats the secret?

    I did my 300 Win development with Dan. I ran a normal OCW with a suppressor, running slightly north of book data. I got really good data that looked right. Then I checked the MV with the MagnetoSpeed and the higher pressure loads to see if there might be another node. I compared my numbers with...

    Lowering ES whats the secret?

    I have both the Oehler and MagnetoSpeed. I shoot at an indoor range and an outdoor range with a cell tower that kills my 35P. I use the MagnetoSpeed when I am looking for my max pressure load and to verify that my OCW load is is giving me the MV I'm looking for.

    Bushing Die, reason for Expander?

    That's a good data point. I was thinking if the only variable was the sizing button.

    Bushing Die, reason for Expander?

    Has anyone measured the concentricity difference between button and no button?

    Bushing Die, reason for Expander?

    I don't get why the expander button is so detrimental. Redding tech told me they are sized one to one and a half thou below bullet diameter. Which is the target neck tension for most bushing dies. Right so far? Is it because the brass is pulled through it and stretches? Carbide button or lube...

    Forster Expander Ball Alternative?

    I just ordered the Sinclair kit. I plan to decap with a universal decapper and remove the sizing die decapper completely.

    .300 WM brass

    Dry. In fact SWammo switched from selling 300 Win ammo to reloading customers' brass due to the shortage.

    230 Berger. OTM with Retumbo = SPEED!

    Berger 215 and 230 gr Hybrid and Hornady 225 all seem to show discontinued. I switched to Lapua 220 and they seem easier to find. I got 2935 out of a 26" Schneider barrel. Hot load tho. 2750 seems gtg and low pressure.
