    Neck turning and Lapua brass

    I use Lapua brass and it seems to keep the dimensions. I didn't however measure the neck wall thickness. From your experience- does it make sense in terms of 300-800m accuracy to neck turn Lapua brass and spend money on neck turning station?

    Finding a node without Labradar

    Still OCW method is a nightmare to draw correct conclusions if you do not have a chrono.

    Finding a node without Labradar

    Thanks for the primal rights article. I understand the method, but correct interpretation of results might be an issue.

    Finding a node without Labradar

    It does not sound very convincing. Does it work at the range? Is it more faster and more efficient than Satterlee 's method?

    Finding a node without Labradar

    or magnetospeed. Is it possible to find a node using a paper punching method and looking at vertical strings of shots as described in one of the threads? Is it reliable?

    Savage Impulse

    I hope we will see one day a tactical version such as Blaser's.

    Savage Impulse

    I know very well Blaser, Heym and Haenel straight pull action rifles. It's quite demanding in terms of machining, tolerances and culture of craftmanship to produce a reliable and safe straight action rifle. Everybody knows Lutz's research on Blaser R93. Having said that I have to compliment...

    Savage Impulse straight-pull?

    very promising design. I think that Blaser can pack up their stuff and just go. Nobody will be buying their overpriced rifles anymore. sayonara.

    Bushing vs. Expander Mandrel For Obtaining Neck Tension

    Ok, what would be the consequence of taking the rod out? I assume the neck will be untouched, the shoulders will be bumped.

    Bushing vs. Expander Mandrel For Obtaining Neck Tension

    I have a regular Forster FL sizing die. If I remove the rod from the die, would it still bump the shoulders?

    Bushing vs. Expander Mandrel For Obtaining Neck Tension

    So, if I do the FL sizing without taking out the expander ball drom the sizing die and then follow with the mandrel, it should be ok?

    Bushing vs. Expander Mandrel For Obtaining Neck Tension

    why?

    Bushing vs. Expander Mandrel For Obtaining Neck Tension

    @padom when you FL size the brass, do you pull out the pin out or do you FL size without any modifications to the sizing die?

    Does custom action make this much difference?

    The problem with all these companies is that they are focuses on the US market. They don't have dealers in the EU or if they have the price is like 170% of the US price. I find it odd that there is no premium custom action maker in the EU, so I have to import custom action from US. I know NC...

    Does custom action make this much difference?

    Thank you for your insight on custom actions. I think I will try one. Just wondering which one offers the best money/quality ratio.

    Neck tension control

    thank you. this was exactly my assumption.

    Neck tension control

    @spife7980 I mean after FL sizing the brass many people (see this thread above) do the expander die with a mandrel to open the neck to a certain pre-defined diameter. Is it necessary in precision reloading? this is my question.

    Neck tension control

    @918v it has been always my understanding of FL sizing. Where does then the need to additionally size the neck come from? Is the neck after FL sizing not sized precisely the same way every time? Is the FL sizing not enough in terms of repeatability of neck tension?
  19. O

    Neck tension control

    You are right. It seems that the friendly advice to screw up the FL sizing die to achieve neck sizing only does not make much sense.

    Neck tension control

    Can you explain what FL sizing means to you? When I hear to Eric I think he meant by that something else than standard use of a standard FL sizing die. Do you just FL size all the way down the whole brass or you just bump the shoulder back?
