    Bolt won't close on reloads .308

    It happened to me after approx 500,000 reloads with my Dillon. It was a 9mm RCBS sizing die. I used to shoot competitively. This rifle stuff is very new to me. :eek:

    Recommendations for Chronograph

    I have a Prochrono Digital. My buddy has one as well. I would NOT purchase another. There are times when neither will read the projectiles. We've tried putting them under a tent, using the provided sun shields, taking them off, using a truck to block the sun's angle, etc. Sometimes it works...

    What would you do based on this OCW test? I only have one more range trip before a comp.

    Yes. I meant to say best group closest to POA, but typed out the response too quickly. After looking at the OP's targets, I wold still go with 43.7 - 43.9. I hope the OP lets us know what he ended up with. :cool:

    I'd work up another round robin of 5 each at 43.7, 43.8 and 43.9. Look at the best group and that's your load. Zero in your scope with that load and call it a day.....until you decide to recheck everything. :)

    Trimmed brass too short....

    You'll still have good neck tension. Projectile will be a tad closer to the shoulder/case which will slightly affect pressure......but should be marginal.

    here is a newbi neck turning question ...

    You want to resize with a FL die first, but don't use a bushig to resize tbe neck. If you can, use a die like the FL Redding S die and remove the bushing so the neck is not resized. Then, turn your necks.

    Watch Out For Bang It Ammo On-Line Ammo Dealer

    Every place I have ordered from for reloading supplies (primer & powder) has not required a DL. When ordering 22 LR from Midway, they did not either. However, every place has required an 'over 21' box to be checked on their web page plus an adult signature upon delivery. I would not send...

    here is a newbi neck turning question ...

    Do you have a part number of the K&M tool that turns and reams at the same time? I found their 'turner,' but not reamer.

    Bolt won't close on reloads .308

    Here's what I would try.....not necessarily in the order listed......also make sure primers are fully seated Small base die Make sure your die is not worn. This happened to me, and it turned out my RCBS die was worn. New die fixed it. Better die, like a Redding Bushing die. It will bump your...

    Savage 12 F/TR .223

    I am thinking seriously of buying the Savage 12 FT/R .223 with a 1:7 twist. Does anyone know how this gun shoots straight out of the box? Is there another manufacturer of .223 that shoots more accurately than the Savage which you can recommend? I plan on learning longer range shooting with...

    Xtreme bullets..Anyone else use them?

    You my want to call Extreme as well to see what they tell you. At first, I asked the receptionist. She told me "They shoot like any other 223." I said to her that they all shoot differently, and again asked her for the maximum fps. That's when she got the tech on the line. I never did get...

    Xtreme bullets..Anyone else use them?

    It doesn't...that's just it. I had to call Extreme and talk to a tech there. He reluctantly gave up that info. They publish the pistol data on their web site, but not rifle data. My reloads were primarily fliers using the extreme bullets, because I was pushing them to 2900 or so. Once I...

    Xtreme bullets..Anyone else use them?

    They are limited to 2400 fps for the jacketed bullets. I have some that I gave away because I like shooting my 223 at higher velocities. I forgot the exact load, but I remember around 20 gr TAC because of the velocity limit. Their pistol bullets are decent though.....not the greatest but for...

    New to reloading. No supplies anywhere??

    Wish I was in Bama. Would have liked to buy that H4350.

    New to reloading. No supplies anywhere??

    My buddy and I just bought 6 lbs of Varget. With a little patience, we can come across most of what we want at fairly reasonable pricing. The only powder we have not found ( or been too late getting there) is H4350.

    I wanna start reloading. Any tips??

    Try to read and talk to as many people as possible. There's so much to learn, but one step at a time. It' a great hobby.....goin on 35 years of it. :-)

    Who / Which method of using stainless steel tumbling media is best?

    Deprime In the tumbler with 2 tbs Dawn, 1/4 tsp Lemi-shine.....tumble around 3 hours Air dry Size & trim. Tumble in media tumbler for 30 minutes or so to remove lube on brass and inside the neck Reload from there as usual. If annealing, I would do it after air drying.
