    Redding S Type ?

    I am about to pull the trigger on upgrading to a Redding bushing resizing die for my 300wm. My question is that it seems that the expander button coming back thru the neck would negate the precision neck sizing that the bushing does. Also, I have to bump back the shoulder, so it seems I need the...

    300winmag Berger 185 H4831 recipe

    Re: 300winmag Berger 185 H4831 recipe I will contact Berger on Monday. I dont even have 190 data. Just 200 and 180. Soon as I shoot up the H4831, I will give the H-1000 a try. I seated the bullets to 3.440, and I dont believe I compressed the 74.0 grains of H4831. This is why I need the max...

    300winmag Berger 185 H4831 recipe

    Cant find any recipes for Berger 185's in 300winmag. With the H4831 the starting loads get smaller as the bullet mass goes up. Did a ladder test starting @ 69.0 up to 74.0. Concluded this was a safe range given data for 180gr and 200gr bullets. It was. Found the node at 73.0 to 74.0. No signs...

    Range Report Ballistic FTE

    Re: Ballistic FTE That JBM site is a great tool! The actual trajectory did not surprise me, mastering the Ballistic FTE app is the challenge. I am tinkering with a new EoTech optic. Although I had it zero'd at 100yds, I wanted to try a 25yd zero for an upcoming 3 gun shoot, that will have...

    Range Report 6.8spc

    Re: 6.8spc I use one for hunting. Love it. I have an ARPerformance barrel in an AR platform. Its a Pac Nor with the chamber work by a guy named Harrison. Shoots MOA. Search for ARperformance. Harrison is a very innovative guy, and very helpful with reloading questions. It can shoot an 85gr...

    Range Report Ballistic FTE

    Still figuring out the Iphone Ballistic FTE app. I was at the range today. Wanted to document the dope on an AR 223, surplus 55gr ammo, Eotech 552. Its zero'd at 25yds. It shot 1.5" low at 10 yds. At 100yds it was 8" high. Tried to plug in variables into my Ballistic FTE app, and never could...

    Sinclair case holder wobble

    Re: Sinclair case holder wobble Its not the driver, its that the case is not square to the case holder after tightening down. Thanks, that is what I wanted to know. I will call them.

    Sinclair case holder wobble

    The cases in my Sinclair case holder wobble when I engage the electric screwdriver. Seems to be causing the run out to be .002 higher. Is the wobble effecting the concentricity of my cases? Is the case supposed to wobble?

    Sinclair Neck Turning Adjustment

    Re: Sinclair Neck Turning Adjustment I beleive its the the Sincliar 3000. A feeler gauge would work. THe spring behind the cutter is strong, and not easy to to hold were you want, while tightening the set screw. Feeler gauge would hold it. I am thinking the large screw must be there to help...

    Sinclair Neck Turning Adjustment

    I acquired a used Sinclair 3000 neck turning tool. Trying to figure out how to set the cutting blade. It is spring loaded. What is the long screw in the opposite side used for? How does one precisely set the cutting blade to a specific depth? Thanks

    Runout tolerances

    Re: Runout tolerances Question RE: SAAMI\factory chambers - the chamber on the AR 223 was made my Compass Lake Engineering. Would you consider that a SAAMI spec chamber? I am sure its not BR, but slightly, better than factory. "How are they shooting" Both the 223 and 300wm are 1 moa, but...

    Started neck turning

    Re: Started neck turning The casting the chamber idea sounds of value. I will research how to do that. Carter, you commented that one should neck turn before the initial firing. Should one not turn brass that has been fired several times?

    Runout tolerances

    Re: Runout tolerances Thanks Victor. I will be investing in better dies for my long range guns. I have been shopping and reading up on the Redding dies, and will have post soon asking about them. I did swap out decapping adjustment pin nuts with a 6.8 Lee die, and the runout went down to...

    Runout tolerances

    Re: Runout tolerances I am going to get the Redding dies for my 300wm. Dont want to spend $150 on dies for 223, but if they are causing out of spec runout, I have to do something. I have a Lee 6.8 die, and will swap out the decapping pin and see if that resolves the problem.
