    case length .223

    Re: case length .223 1.760 should be your max case length for an AR if my memory is working with 3 beers in it.

    Swaged Primer Pockets- Help

    Re: Swaged Primer Pockets- Help Yeah, the blue one works great, but it will be years before I process enough LC brass to pay for it compared to buying already processed LC.

    H4895 vs. Re-15

    Re: H4895 vs. Re-15 Just plinking rounds, 55gr FMJ-BT, best load data I could find was based on an SPR SP starting at 25gr. I found other data suggesting 23.4 so I started their and topped out at 25.

    H4895 vs. Re-15

    Re: H4895 vs. Re-15 Using H4895 I can only get 25 gr in, any more and I will be compressing it. The loads I'm doing now are my first with H4895 for .223, anyone have thoughts as the max load is 26gr?

    short brass

    Re: short brass +1 to Nu-Finish and Harbor Freight...they sell it as blast media (they didn't have the fine stuff when I picked mine up, so I'm stuck with the flash hole cleaning).

    Hunting & Fishing Feral cats and head shots

    Re: Feral cats and head shots A pack of roaming dogs is a bit different than feral cats, like sharks you kill the ones that are problems, not every shark in the ocean over one death. If the feral cats are causing a legitimate problem than your animal control folks will take care of them...

    .223 AR freebore

    How much freebore do you all recommend on a .223 AR, I'm setup with .020 right now, should I call it good or should I loosen it up a bit? The casing is sitting right at the edge of the cannelure so I can barely see the little ridges (55gr FMJ-BT).

    Gunsmithing live round stuck in chamber

    Re: live round stuck in chamber Could putting oil down the barrel and then if that doesn't work attempting to fire it cause an over pressure issue? If the chamber is locked in place you should be good to go unless your over length case has caused the bullet to jam into the casing farther...

    Fieldcraft how many lefties use a RH bolt rifle

    Re: how many lefties use a RH bolt rifle I use my right hand to cycle the action instead of doing the over the top Saving Private Ryan thing. I thought about getting a lefty action; however, figure should guns become scarce resultant of political reasons it will be far easier to get parts...

    175 SMK

    Re: 175 SMK Supply and demand works great on the macro scale, but never underestimate the micro scale where the customers recognize your profiteering for what it is and no longer buy from you because the other guy down the street refuses to jack his prices up on his stock to unreasonable...

    Maggie’s Doh!

    Re: Doh! Another unfortunate end is that in police training the fear of being dropped during training and FTO is pounded so hard into recruites mind that they often do not have the confidence to request something be stopped for safety. This mentality should be changed to some rule such as...

    how to get out to 1k

    Re: how to get out to 1k Agent, I'm a few months ahead of you in the reloading game. What I have found is that even with doing plenty of reading, when you get all the equipment you will take baby steps. I'm using my lock n load as a single stage as I dial in the dies (and learn the hard way...

    Digital Scales-Input

    Re: Digital Scales-Input Finally opened my RCBS 750, calibrated it, and then tested it with the overpriced calibration set. It was dead on to the different weights immediately after calibration; however, it did wonder a little, but I figure this will settle down after being on for a while...

    .223 with H4895

    Another newb question that my forum search did not answer... I got some H4895, Winchester small rifle primers, Hornady 55gr FMJ BT, and a metric ass load of LC brass ready to go...finally. So, how should I proceed. So far the best figure I can find was from Hogden saying to start with 25gr on...

    Charges per pound of powder

    Re: Charges per pound of powder At almost $2 a round for a good factory match .308 round you are going to save money unless all you are doing is shooting bulk ammo. Even with the up front cost good quality brass you will get multiple reloads out of it which will cut the cost down...
