    Needing Die neck work done

    The guy I talked to seemed pretty knowledgeable and I explained what was going on. He told me if the die was within “their spec“ they wouldn’t do anything. I’ve been down the road of sending in another one of their 223 AI dies without getting a fix. The first set of dies I ordered for this 223...

    Needing Die neck work done

    Yep. They would have been my first choice in dies, but they don’t offer 223 AI.

    Needing Die neck work done

    Appreciate the thought. And that was the first thing I did when I realized the Lee was sizing the neck to much. I’m loading for a 223 AI so my choice of dies are very limited. I ordered a Redding Type S FL bushing die. The problem with it is it will not bump my shoulder back. The body of the...

    Needing Die neck work done

    I’ve got a Lee FL non bushing sizing die that is necking my brass down to much. It is sizing it to 0.2415” and I want it to be 0.2465”. I contacted Lee about opening up the neck an additional .005”, but they are not doing custom work at this time due to trying to keep up with production. Does...

    Case neck mouth belling problem

    I’m using a Lee full length sizing die (no bushing or expander ball). I know, Lee is not liked by many, but it was all I could get in 223 AI full length sizer at the time. A fired case has a neck diam. of 0.252 (0.253 chamber). The sizer die sizes the neck down to 0.2415. I just resized 3...

    Case neck mouth belling problem

    I just double checked and the case is not bottoming out in the mandrel die. The mandrel is going deeper than the neck depth. It’s going about 0.30 past the taper part on the mandrel whereas the neck depth is about 0.19. The mandrel measures 0.2230 inch the entire length.

    Case neck mouth belling problem

    I’m getting some case neck mouth bell when using an expander mandrel. Do other people have this issue when using a mandrel? This is 223 Lapua brass that has been 1x fired (fireformed to 223 AI). I used the same mandrel on the virgin brass and didn’t have a problem. After full length sizing I‘m...

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool & Gauge SUCKS!!!

    Good call. I probably wouldn’t have kept an eye out for this otherwise. I canceled my order on 7/6. I still haven’t received a refund as of 7/23, so I called my cc company today to have a charge back done.

    Gunsmithing Pacific Tool & Gauge SUCKS!!!

    I’ll add my crappy experience. I ordered a set of go/no go gauges for a 6bra. Nobody had them in stock at the time and PTG had the best price with a 6-8 week lead time. 12 weeks later, still no gauges. I called to get an ETA. They couldn’t provide one and said we will open a status ticket and...

    Berger Sales Suspended - at one retailer

    So, I was checking to see if any online retailers had any Berger 109’s in stock and ran across a company that had suspended sales on Berger bullets. There was a notice that popped up saying this retailer was suspending order on all Berger and Lapua...

    Berger Sales Suspended - at one retailer

    Thank you. That was the data point I was really wondering about. So, this would indicate that Capstone is simply capitalizing on a supply/demand situation, and it’s not an increase in raw materials pricing. And I can’t say I blame them one bit. Someone is going to make the profit when Demand far...
