    Jamison charged with illegal ammo sales.

    Re: Jamison charged with illegal ammo sales. I'm thinking that this case won't hold water, but then I'm not ABSOLUTELY sure that .375 Cheytac is/isn't on the US Munitions List. Anything on USML is controlled by State, others are by Commerce. Did Jamison send brass by Commerce approval...

    .338 Norma....track record?

    Re: .338 Norma....track record? I have owned a 338 Lapua and I burned the barrel out in about 800 rounds. That was in no way heavy service, or rapid firing. I now have 2 338 Norma rifles. I know for sure that one gun has well over 1500 rounds on it, and it's still shooting bug holes. The...

    casting help

    Re: casting help I'll add one here. Despite all the marketing of the niceties of a bottom pour pot, if you're getting rounded edges on the base of your bullet, stop using the bottom pour method. Rather, get your ladle (like the Lyman or RCBS with the tit on it), and do the following: Heat...

    Powder

    Re: Powder GSX, I caution you. Answer this question and it will lead to your ultimate happiness: Do you want to spend your time loading and "figurin'" or do you want to enjoy shooting? Which is more important to you? We all have our "anal" side, and some of us will tell you that...

    Is my powder junk now?

    Re: Is my powder junk now? Bad powder smells a lot like muriatic acid working on rusty metal. If you've never smelled that, and if you question your powders stability, you might buy a gallon of the muriatic acid and let it do some work on rusty metal. That "acrid" smell is what bad powder...

    Solvent

    Re: Solvent Do a google search for Ed's Red Bore Cleaner. Make it yourself. It is NOT for copper, but is superior to ANYTHING I've ever tried for carbon, for wad material, etc. A gallon will cost you about $15.00 and it'll last you for YEARS. 1 part kerosene 1 part ATF 1 part Acetone 1...

    Inconsistent Shoulder bump

    Re: Inconsistent Shoulder bump correct: You must remove some of the "interference" material that would prevent the brass from pushing further up into the die.

    Inconsistent Shoulder bump

    Re: Inconsistent Shoulder bump Jelly, Couple things. First- I have experienced this. Second - I have fixed it too. Here's how: 1- On a belt sander or lathe, you're gonna need to remove some metal from the base of that die. Take off about 0.020", but NOT any more. Of course, you could...

    338 Norma -vs- 338 Lapua (Savage 110BA)

    Re: 338 Norma -vs- 338 Lapua (Savage 110BA) I have owned both a .338 Lapua and a .338 Norma. I can attest from my personal experience that barrel life is significantly longer with the Norma. I've witnessed the difference in throat erosion, using a Stoney Point Gauge. There are differences...

    pressure, Hard bolt lift and STUCK CASE 338 Lapua

    Re: pressure, Hard bolt lift and STUCK CASE 338 Lapua Diego, Not to push, but WHEN was that .050" measurement taken? Was it before the pressure problems started, or after? Have you very recently taken those measurements? Just for S & G, can you run that number again? Another thing -...

    Disappointing 2000MR load development (223/75gr)

    Re: Disappointing 2000MR load development (223/75gr) Jim, I've got to think that some of your horizontal dispersion came from the wind. Was it steady at 10 mph and gusting to 20, or was it dead, gusting to 20? If you're using a gas gun and groping "about" an inch at 100 yards on a windy...

    pressure, Hard bolt lift and STUCK CASE 338 Lapua

    Re: pressure, Hard bolt lift and STUCK CASE 338 Lapua Diego, A lubed chamber or case will cause increased bolt thrust when fired. However, I would not put all my eggs in that basket. I might also recommend checking out your cartridge-length-to-engaugement, by using a Stoney Point OAL...
