    6mm Bra fireforming

    No. Nucleus allows you to adjust how far the firing pin sticks out.

    6mm Bra fireforming

    I have a Hancock / nucleas on the way. Would it be a good idea to extend the adjustable bolt protrusion by say 0.010" for fireforming?

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    Order 2137 placed 2-26-18 for a RH JH 6.5cr. No email at all so this batch may not finish out February 2018. 2076 seems to be the highest with a pay notification and some below that are still waiting.. I'm shooting a borrowed savage axis until the J.H. arrives.

    PVA Status Updates: Hancock Rifle & NUCLEUS Barreled Action

    What length arca rail works? I'm thinking of getting the area 419 kit over the KRG rail but id probably have to cut part of it off.

    Strelok temp sensitivity factor

    You are correct. I went back to my work and I was using 0.17 for factory hornady based on observed data and the 5/9 correction. I'll edit above.

    130 Eld-m 18” gas gun

    With a jp 22" I got 130 eldm to 2851 sd of 11 with 40 gr Varget, Hornady brass, CCI LR primer. Laser to 600 yds. Slr adjustable gas block and jp SCS with the weakest spring makes a big difference. If you don't have adjustable gas don't even think of that hot.

    Strelok temp sensitivity factor

    I use AB but strelok is good if you input good data. Compared streloks formula to its outputs and I figured out they have a Fahrenheit to celcius conversion wrong in the software. What the formula says to use or what you calculate is actual - You multiply that by 5/9 for C/F. Factor x 0.56 =...

    Lube for neck sizing?

    Is lube even necessary if you're just neck sizing with carbide bushings? What about bumping the shoulder and neck sizing? I'm debating a one pass reload on the Dillon without a tumble. Only wiping the cases off (since not FLZing), deprime/prime , bump/neck, powder, seat, shoot. I'm hoping to...

    Seating depth vs barrel time

    18" 308 with 178ELDX. The low side is 2400 fps and a hint of vertical stringing coincidence with the high sd. Could be my imagination but still slow for a hunting round. 41.5 is 2450 - 2470.

    Seating depth vs barrel time

    41.5gr is a powder node with 5 sd. Much above or below results in about 20 sd. The groups below this tighten up at 100 yds and above 41.5 spread out. I want to delay the bullet exit for barrel time. Do I increase or decrease the jump to the lands?

    Forster dies in other presses

    I'm getting the impression that forster dies are too long for other presses like my Dillon 550. Is this a pattern? Tried FLZ some 308 in the Dillon from an Ar10 that might swallow a no go gauge (it will only see its own brass bumped back slightly). It took some fiddling and some popping and 2...

    Lubrication for FL sizing

    I was told not to put the wax on the neck or shoulder so that is dry for me. Is that correct? Is graphite on the neck required or should i put some wax up there?

    130 eld-m vs 140 eld-m velocity

    130 eldm does not live up to its specs past 600 yds. Download it's custom curve and you will see before wasting money on them. Below 600 They are easy to tune lasers. 140eldm is awesome.

    Help 178ELDX crunching

    I used a drop tube but both hornady and IMI brass showed pressure on different sides of 43gr of 4064. 178ELDX is so long it consumes powder room. Factory ammo runs 2510 fps. I'm seeing accuracy at below 2450 fps and above that everything is wild including the factory hornady. 18 jp 308 btw...

    Shim stock in co- ax?

    Mine is in another town. Is it possible to put shim stock in the bottom jaw so you can shim brass up in controlled amounts? Of course only a few thousandths and remove any decap stuff.
