    My new toy

    Re: My new toy Finally got out to the range today. Performed the recommended break in proceedure which let me tell you sucked. I hate cleaning. At any rate once I got it broken (while mostly zeroing the scope) I shot the following 10 round group. In the middle of the 10 shot group I said...

    GemPro 250 Scale (UniqueTek) Review

    Re: GemPro 250 Scale (UniqueTek) Review Hmmm, im not a BR guy either but I like the idea of having complete control over my charges. Guess I just need to decide if I want it to throw the charge for for almost twice the price or do it myself. Thanks.

    GemPro 250 Scale (UniqueTek) Review

    Re: GemPro 250 Scale (UniqueTek) Review To those of you who use the GemPro 250...do you close the plastic cover every time you weigh a charge or just when you calibrate or just leave it open? Do you think it would affect readings having it open for some charges and closed for others during a...

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Re: Crushed shoulder when seating bullet Screwing out the die worked as you can tell from my ammo pic. Worked like a champ. I do think for the rest of them though I will throw them on the trimmer just to make sure and be safe.

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Re: Crushed shoulder when seating bullet Well...I might not have chamfered the cases...sometimes I get too lazy for my own good. Got some a couple things on the way in the mail to chamfer as well as uniform primer pockets etc. I've gone this far might as well do it completely right. I...

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Re: Crushed shoulder when seating bullet Nate, do you mean put lube in the neck before seating the bullets or just when resizing? I assume just when resizing but thought I would ask. As far as a compressed load goes, I loaded 42.0 GR of reloader 15. These rounds are meant to be used for...

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Re: Crushed shoulder when seating bullet All measurements were taken from the ogive using hornady's comparator. I thought measuring from the ogive would eliminate the variables associated with the variances of the meplat?

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Re: Crushed shoulder when seating bullet Well your suggestion worked. Got my first box of 308 loaded. One thing that was a bit disturbing though, was that I checked the OAL of each of the 20 rounds. I was shooting for 2.216" which is 0.01" off the lands (to ogive). From what I measured I...

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Re: Crushed shoulder when seating bullet I think I may have figured it out. I got the pacesetter die set and apparently the bullet seater puts on a crimp, whereas I should be using the dead length bullet seater die which does not place a crimp. Did not even realize they had two different...

    Crushed shoulder when seating bullet

    Im new to reloading and have only thus far loaded a total of about 50 rounds of 30-30 for another rifle and didnt have any trouble whatsoever. I got my brass prepped, primed, put powder in and went to seat the bullets and this is what I got. I am using 308 winchester brass never fired, and...

    My new toy

    Re: My new toy Ken, the only thing I think I want to change in the near future is to get an oversized bolt handle, I'll have to wait until I get some range time to know for sure but just curious if you could PM me or send me an email (if you still have it) as to what that might cost. Thanks.
