    How to improve SD?

    Uniform the flash holes and check your weights with another scale coming off the chargemaster. Place a the load you tossed back onto the scale after you have it weighed. I bet is does not read 41.9gr. Once I started weighing my charges with a Lyman M5 tuned by Scott Parker my ES and SD #'s...

    If I am not concerned about gtting the Primer pockets clean I will tumble just the brass with dish soap and Lemshine for a 2-3 hours. They come out clean enough for me, but you still cannot beat doing it with the pins. I usally do it when I don't fell like having to seperate the pins from the...

    My buddies 1000yd range! Plate @ 1160yds and putting another at 1200yd and 1300yd. 1200yd is a hell of a poke for a 308. I dialed up 53moa on my Mk4 and hit 3 outa 6 on a 16"x16" plate. Ther 243 at 1k shot great too, 99 3x. Only had 75 rounds down the new barrel at that time. Long range is a...

    I know I have said this a million times but I still get giddy when I open up my tumbler and see my nice clean brass. Been doing it for well on 6 years now and have to say that this is the only cleaning method I use. I do have a vibratory tumbler that I use tube clean case lube off or touch up...

    For those loading for a while...FGMM Brass VS LAPUA Brass

    There are many factors in how long your brass will last. 1) Are you loading the max load in them or are you shooting them on the milder side? 2) Are you sizing your brass properly (setting up your die for the proper shoulder bump) 3) Do you neck or FL size after each firing. 4) Are you...

    How loose is too loose regarding primer pockets ?

    What are you using to prime your case with? Does it provide any feel of the primer entering the pocket. The RCBS bench primer works well and allows good feel of the primer entering the pocket. Also, there are several hand held type that give you a good feel as to how tight they are. Using the...

    And this is why I say you should not dry your brass in a oven. It is too easy to over heat your brass. Find a old food dehydrator, or make one. There are many versions that guys have shown in this thread. When in doubt of any process that you have done in your reloading steps (even drying...

    Hardto chamber,brass and loads. Read it before, am I wrong?

    If you have the means to check your headspace I would do so. You do not want to be on the firing line and jamb a round into your chamber and get it stuck. Seem guys do that too many times. Terry

Aim at bottom of target and work your way up on your come ups. Then run it all the way back down and ensure it zero's. Target has to...
