    Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight

    Re: Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight Not sure what you mean by the "small base die." I hadn't heard of the technique of slipping a 9mm case over the neck but that makes sense. I hadn't thought about the head space. I'm new to this, can you tell?

    Member Link Up SHWW Group

    Re: SHWW Group Gents, I was just down at The Marksman in Puyallup and found they are now offering Sigs under the LE/Mil discount program. He bought a bunch for the discount program but they're not moving very fast. Not sure if its lack of interest or the word isn't out. But if its something...

    Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help!

    Re: Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help! Update: Sent it in to be looked at at the direction of one of their tech reps. They've been real good about taking care of this so far and are willing to refund me the cost of the shipment back. So Sinclair is doing right by me.

    Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight

    Re: Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight I think "wider" was the wrong word. The rim that is held by the extractor is thicker. Possibly what is causing the difficulty in rotating the bolt closed?

    Hornady and BHA reloaded brass chambers tight

    I just got through reloading some 2nd and 3rd used Hornady and Black Hills Ammo brass with Hornady 168 gr .308. I loaded to 2.800 COAL and 2.178-2.180 from the ogive. All these reloads have been FL resized through Forester dies. I noticed they're a bit stiff when cambering into my Savage 10FCP...

    Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help!

    Re: Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help! BBeyer, there's a ball bearing underneath the thumbscrew that locks down the adjustment setting by the micrometer. Keeps the users setting in place while trimming. It's as almost the screw is not long enough to press down on the ball bearing enough...

    Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help!

    Re: Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help! That's what I've heard about Sinclair, so maybe I'm just unlucky. May try to find a .15 cent thumb screw at Home Depot if maybe the one it came with is too short and not engaging the ball bearing enough.

    Sinclair/Wilson Ultimate trimmer...help!

    After about four months of waiting, I finally got this trimmer in the mail. I went to set it up and found that I would tighten the thumb screw that locks the micrometer in place and I could still easily rotate the micrometer. I get a slight (emphasize "slight") bit of resistance but its not...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I want a .45 tactical compact...your thoughts

    Re: I want a .45 tactical compact...your thoughts I think if I get an HK, I'm leaning toward the 45 or 45C and not the USP. Something about the proprietary rail bugs me. Good to know about the trigger. I'll be trying these all out before I buy. The Sig 1911 tactical caught my eye as well...

    Lee 308 Die Problems

    Re: Lee 308 Die Problems It could also be the length of the case. What are you using to measure and trim the cases? I noticed my Lee trimmer is a bit longer than what the book says to trim them to. 2.00 I believe is what the book says and my Lee trimmer give me about 2.008. I'm currently...

    Lee 308 Die Problems

    Re: Lee 308 Die Problems What sort of press are you using? 0.010 seems a bit close and if its not a good press or your consistency is off a bit, you could be getting a few longer ones. I'm assuming you're using the same lot of bullets as well and measuring off the ogive and not the COAL since...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I want a .45 tactical compact...your thoughts

    Re: I want a .45 tactical compact...your thoughts J-Ham, essentially yes. I don't have a large body frame so carrying a full-size pistol just doesn't work for me. Primarily, my ability to carry this weapon concealed is the primary concern. But I also want it as a home defense weapon (by the...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns I want a .45 tactical compact...your thoughts

    I'm interested in getting into a .45 tactical, threaded barrel, compact type handgun. First thing that comes to mind is the HK USP compact tactical. It's already threaded, DA/SA, good quality. But before I spend that kind of cash, wanted to get some opinions on what else was out there...

    Sinclair-Wilson Ultimate Trimmer wait time - WTF?

    Re: Sinclair-Wilson Ultimate Trimmer wait time - WTF? Would love to get a Giraud. I just don't have $500 to spend on a trimmer at this point. I'll probably be getting one in the next year, but for the precision and the price, I decided to go with the Wilson....though they're not cheap either...
