    Old .30cal Winchester Bullets. Info wanted.

    Re: Old .30cal Winchester Bullets. Info wanted. Back in the 50s and into the 60s Winchester loaded 30.06 Match ammo. Actually that is wrong, they were HANDLLOADED. They were available at Perry for guys to shoot long range with rather than the issue match. I remember Sam Bond selling it on...

    7mm-08 die set help

    Re: 7mm-08 die set help I agree, the Lee dies for the money are fine. They are not as pretty as others but have yet to find one that did not work. Victor, that is a very good idea using a 270 die for intermediate step down. Did you just cut off a 270 FL die or happen to have a reamer and...

    7mm-08 die set help

    Re: 7mm-08 die set help Make sure to use a good case lube. I use Imperial Sizing Die stuff. If you have new 308 you can go like that. If it is once fired you might clean it and stress relieve the neck/shoulder before you start sizing. On fired cases after cleaning I remove the decap pins...

    brass life

    Re: brass life Someone mentioned seeing media leaking out of hollowpoint bullets. I have seen such in Sierra Matchkings many times. At one time Sierra sold 1000 bullet bulk boxes and bullets were not cleaned and still had forming lube on them. I still have the whole box and never got around...

    brass life

    Re: brass life Yes, no, maybe, yebut (yeah butt) the “rest of the story” is: 1. From my former engineering contacts at Federal when they draw their cases they use one less process in the draw that leaves them softer (but still safe to fire). “Annealing the whole case” is absolutely false as...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials He put in 100 cases fired four times thus he had the carbon for 400 cases to get out. It is going to take another run or maybe two with scuzzy cases. I have had to tumble really scuzzy ones as much as 24 hours but they will come clean.

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials If those tumblers do not have hex inside or vanes or something to raise and have the media and the brass fall I don't think you are going to get the best results. Whole name of the game is to have the brass and media moving constantly. A smooth barrel...

    Gunsmithing Anybody know if a 6BR will feed from a Win 70 SA?

    Re: Anybody know if a 6BR will feed from a Win 70 SA? I know G&E made 300 meter 6BRs with small diameter strikers as my buddy brought one here on the way to Perry a number of years ago. He was on the Brit 300 Meter team and that thing shot like a champ. It would seem with the interest in 6BR...

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials Only problem here is if you set it to cut off and you don't get the brass out of the black water pretty quick the carbon will redeposit itself all over the OUTSIDE as well as the inside of the cases and even the media itself and will require changing out...

    Re: Loading sequence With Stainless Steel ? Chiller, If the cases are dirty from a match etc they will go in jug with Ivory and Limishine for the ride home.

    Stainless Steel Media Testimonials

    Re: Stainless Steel Media Testimonials I found one of my Lee dippers yesterday that says 5CC on it. It will fill a 9MM case to about 1/8" below the rim so I figure 6CC is it. Limishine might work even better using more but I don't see how. I figured with a 9MM case to get 116 tumbles per...
