    Powder dispenser for turret press

    Re: Powder dispenser for turret press They are not too bad. With ball or fine kernel powder, I usually get +/- .1, with the rare .2 variation. For what I use them for that is good enough for me. For any precision work, I weigh each charge. BLK7

    Nosler 7mm SAUM brass...

    Re: Nosler 7mm SAUM brass... Are you sure that Nosler is really made by NORMA? I think that was true or claimed to be when Nosler started producing brass. But since then, I've heard it was made by others and the quality wasn't up to par. Can't speak from personal experience, but read about...

    Weight sort to cure .357 vertical stringing?

    Re: Weight sort to cure .357 vertical stringing? Not sure of your experience with a revolver, but differences in grip from light to strong affect how much muzzle flip occurs before the bullet leaves the barrel. In barrel residence time is significant with a pistol or revolver. If you grip...

    Best way to shorten FL size die UPDATE!!!!

    Re: Best way to shorten FL size die That is not an option on the coax press I want to use. If I stayed with the rockchucker that will work.

    Best way to shorten FL size die UPDATE!!!!

    Re: Best way to shorten FL size die I am unable to bump the shoulder with the Forster Die. Tried it in my coax and in my rcbs press. Despite HARD camover using both presses still not enough bump. Need. 002-.003" more bump. Setting up die with headspace gauge. Been reloading for 20 years...

    Best way to shorten FL size die UPDATE!!!!

    Re: Best way to shorten FL size die I hadn't really considered that yet. I don't really know any of the local guys well or how receptive they are to walkin work of that sort. Leaning toward sending it back to Forster and also getting the neck opened up about .001 to have the proper neck...

    Fire Forming AI Brass

    Re: Fire Forming AI Brass Is your smith removing the barrel, and taking a turn off the threads, then rechambering? This is the proper way to set up the chamber. If he just runs an AI reamer in to clean up the current chamber, it will create excess headspace. If you know the answer to that...

    Best way to shorten FL size die UPDATE!!!!

    Does anyone have a recommendation on how to shorten or remove material from the base of a Forster full length resize die? I have used the die on two presses and I need to take about .002-.003" off the die. Do I send it back to Forster? Or file the bottom of the die or use a belt sander...

    Favorite .243 Bullet

    Re: Favorite .243 Bullet Anything in particular that you want to try. I have a few Berger 88 low drag bullets and 105 hunting VLDs on the shelf that I don't plan to use. I now have a load for the 105 amaxs and enough to burn out my barrel. If your interested, pm me and I'm sure we could...

    Keep breaking .223 dies. Help

    Re: Keep breaking .223 dies. Help I use Hornday one shot. The key is to get enough on the case to see it "flow" down the case to the case head. If there isn't enough to slightly bead and flow before drying, then you haven't used enough and you WILL get a stuck case. I typically set the...

    Anyone using JLK 7mm bullets

    Re: Anyone using JLK 7mm bullets I have 500 of the 180 JLKs (well, 460ish). First the bullet is almost identical to the 180 berger. Actual BC is alos identical to the 180 berger. The advertised BC of the JLK bullet is apparently inflated. I haven't shot enough of them to test for...

    .208 AMAX Loads too hot to shoot, what now?

    Re: .208 AMAX Loads too hot to shoot, what now? If you use the inertia (hammer) puller, hit a couple of good solid hits followed by lighter hits. The bullet will be dislodged with mimimal force. I've used the inertia puller for years. Once you figure out how many hits (usually 2-3 forceful...

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! That's great. I can't wait to get out to the range and actually use SHOOTER. I've been using exbal up til this and SHOOTER seems 2x easier to use, especially if you have to rapidly change range or wind input. Thanks, again. BLK7

    Folding hanger for Steel targets

    Re: Steel target hanger I don't have a pic handy, but I use baler belts from a local John Deere supply. Occasionally they have to replace belts under warranty for excessive wear or damage. The old ones were stacked out back. I explained what I wanted them for and they let me have about 30'...

    Range Report Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android!

    Re: Introducing "Shooter", ballistics for Android! Could you put the U/D and L/R behind the data with maybe a space between to keep from cluttering the data? Just a suggestion, but would help me a lot. I think the U/D L/R being the same size and in front of the DATA distracts me from the...
