    Primer is very difficult to seat......why?

    Re: Primer is very difficult to seat......why? +1 on the Dillion Swager. You may be trying to seat primers into brass that had the primer pockets crimped. I bought a few boxes of winchester nato (white box) ammo before I started reloading for .308 that had the primers crimped. If I didn't...

    LC Brass Case Failure 1st Firing

    Re: LC Brass Case Failure 1st Firing It is a newer AR. It has probably fired over 1500 rds though. This is the first time we noticed this issue. I am thinking after reading your replies that this brass was improperly sized. I will have to see if I can get any off of my cousin to measure. I...

    LC Brass Case Failure 1st Firing

    Has anyone had a piece of lake city brass have a case failure on its first firing? I went to the range on Sunday with my cousin who was shooting a lot of 62gr green tip .556 out of his AR. About a half hour into shooting I noticed one of the cases on the ground had completely separated from...

    Enlarged Primers Pockets--/ What is the cause?

    Re: Enlarged Primers Pockets--/ What is the cause? I have loaded once fired lake city brass (all from same lot) that has loose primer pockets. I have loaded thousands of rounds of .223 and this is the only brass I have had problems with. It seems one in fifty rounds will not hold a primer...

    Gunsmithing Replacement sear for Savage 110 non-accutrigger

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement sear for a savage 110 non-accutrigger? I recently installed a rifle basix sav-2 trigger and think I went a little far with the easing of the sear edge described in the instructions. The trigger seams to work fine but I just don't like the looks of the...

    .223 z-max?

    Re: .223 z-max? That is a tempting deal. I might have to order some and check them out (even though they are on backorder now). They have to be better than the crappy bulk remington 55gr FMJ's I am running through my ar now. Some of them look like chewed bubble gum right out of the package...

    30-06 reloading ?

    Re: 30-06 reloading ? I frequently run into once fired, sometimes several times fired, brass that needs no trimming. I measure and only trim when needed. I wouldn't measure performance or think that something was wrong based on a need to trim.

    .308 Pet load

    Re: .308 Pet load MitchAIsup, Curious how much bullet you still have in the neck at 2.943 OAL with the 155 scenar. I recently got into 308 and measured my chamber on my remington and found more freebore than I anticipated. COAL of 2.951 which seems pretty close to you. I would like to seat...
