    Has anybody tried Wolf brand primers??

    Re: Has anybody tried Wolf brand primers?? I get good SD and ES with them. The downside is they vary on width and run wide causing me to take some extra time on the seating step. I have had a few dud primers too, upon disassembly I found no priming compound in one, and the others just...

    Rifle Scopes What's the scoop on the new NF high speed turrets?

    I'm looking at buying another NF and see they have a new high speed turret set up. I haven't found anything on the NF site. What's the word? good improvement? Fragile? Gimmick? I never had a problem with the original style turrets. If you have links to commentary or promotional information...

    Using lapua .308 brass for .260Rem

    Re: Using lapua .308 brass for .260Rem I dabbled with the project but haven't put a lot of time. The adivice I got here was to use the RP brass and run with it, or use winchester 7mm-08. Alternatively my smith suggested necking down from .308 to custom fit the brass to my chamber. I took...

    Question About Primers

    Re: Question About Primers No problem and welcome aboard! I use 41.5 grains of IMR4895 with the 168 in my M1a and I use a hotter load of RL15 in my bolt gun. That 166 per pound should be pretty near for your calc's. RL15 comes in 5 lb jugs, and most others come in 8 lbs. So either way...

    Question About Primers

    Re: Question About Primers I have a dillon and I have large and small wolf primers. I haven't used the wolf in the dillon, they've been going through my RCBS bench priming tool. Their width varies and that affects pressure needed to seat them fully. So I say to watch your primers carefully...

    Question About Primers

    Re: Question About Primers You will have to look in your reloading manuals to see which primers for each cartridge. If you let us know what cartridges you are loading for most of us could spout off the top of our heads what primers for each. .223 is a small rifle primer or a small magnum...

    Bullet run out

    Re: Bullet run out I was just getting back to my old .22-250 and couldn't figure out why my runout was through the roof. At least mine was stupid, My seater lock nut was loose causing the seating stem to wiggle. I loaded up another batch and runout was near 1 instead of 8.

    Neck Turning Doughnuts?

    Re: Neck Turning Doughnuts? Well I don't think I can tackle all that with competence. The doughnut is a thickened band at the junction of the shoulder and neck. The issue is if it's big enough it fills the chamber neck and you don't get a proper bullet release as there is no where for the...

    Oven drying brass

    Re: Oven drying brass I clean my dirty stuff in the frog's pad solution. Triple rinse in hot water. Dump them in a plastic tray with a open mesh bottom. (It's a tray that came with a cooler). Give them a few shakes. Sometimes if I need them I'll dry in the oven on 200 for about 10...
