    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    I'm going to take a guess here and say that there is a good probability the Anderson labeled stuff were factory seconds. It was all the stuff that failed QC for the higher end companies they were making stuff for.

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    The Anderson lowers seemed to be a great value for the money. The rest of their stuff, including the LPKs were always suspect. I have seen issues with them. It really comes down to the intended use. A weekender who occasionally does a couple mag dumps, the training junkie who puts 500...

    BCM makes a good product for the money.

    Sturm Ruger has bought Anderson Manufacturing

    Not saying that you are completely wrong, but there are people with a limited budget. While they should be spending their money on a BCM, Daniel Defense, etc there can be exceptions. I started with a DPMS and a Bushmaster. The DPMS gave me fits but the Bushmaster was reliable. Today I depend...

    Where to source different bullet seating stems?

    No judgement from me, I anneal as well 😎 One issue with annealing is that it removes all the carbon and makes the inside of the neck dry. This will increase seating pressure.

    Where to source different bullet seating stems?

    It could have thicker brass in neck area. Another thing is that everytime you fire brass it gets harder which can affect neck tension.

    Where to source different bullet seating stems?

    You don't need that much neck tension for a bolt action. Your expander ball may be worn or too small. Confirm that with Lyman. You could also use a separate mandrel die to set neck tension.

    Where to source different bullet seating stems?

    That's a lot of neck tension. Is this for a semi auto? The seater is only making contact in that small area. As stated, you can lap it, or try a dab of JB Weld with a release agent on the bullet. Leave the bullet in the seater until the JB Weld cures. That's how a good friend fixed this issue.

    Caliper test

    I have a set of Mitutoyo and a cheap Harbor Freight Chyyyna calipers, the latter being almost 20 years old. If I needed pro grade, the Mitutoyo would be my choice. The Chyyna brand has worked fine for my needs, just an average reloader/hobbyist.

    So who paid off Tillis..

    You cannot trust any politician. We want Trump to be our savior, and I voted for him, but remember that he was a democrat for most of his life. I do believe that he is working to improve the US, although my wish is that he would shrink government.

    Consistency, or lack thereof

    Start with checking everything on your rifle. Scope rings, base, and action torqued properly, etc. I once had a rifle that all of a sudden started shooting bad and discovered that the front ring had loosened at the base. A good barrel and quality bullets are where accuracy begins. I usually...
