    Headspace comparator question

    Yes, that .400 Hornady insert is off by .019". It is a very old one I bought many years ago. I believe it was a Stoney Point, before Hornady bought out Stoney Point. I do have another .400 insert I bought about about five years ago that measures 1.622" off of a 1.630 Go Gauge. It is .008" off...

    Headspace comparator question

    Another example of two comparators, a Hornady .400 and a Sinclair that measures off of the shoulder angle. On a 1.630" 308 Winchester go gauge, The Hornady measures 1.611" and the Sinclair measures 1.561". They are both accurate measurements on that 1.630" Go Gauge. This is why these tools...

    Hodgdon Price Increase at Sportman's Warehouse

    My experience at Sportsmans Warehouse has been pretty good for prices on Powder & Primers compared to other retailers. Prior to this price increase they had been selling Primers for .05¢- .06¢ where all of the other retailers were selling the same Primers for .08¢- .12¢. That tells me exactly...

    Mighty Armory 223 FL vs FLHS

    Yes, get the FLHS die. A few years ago, I bought a 308 FL die. This is before they offered the FLHS dies. This die WOULD NOT F/L bump down to SAAMI minimum (1.630"). I spoke to Wayne about it. I sent the die in and he skimmed .008" off of the die bottom & sent it back. It now would F/L size...

    Review of the sheridan gauge!

    You can buy a comparator set for under $50.00 that will likely work for the majority of your rifle calibers. 95% of the time, chambering issues in bottle necked cases are due to improper shoulder bump with the setting of the F/L die. There is a small chance of the case web not being sized down...

    .308 Winchester 178 ELD-X and IMR 3031. Loads, thoughts.

    IMR 3031 is not near the burning speed of Varget. It's a bit faster and is not that efficient with the heavier bullets. 3031 will work well with lighter bullets in the 150 grain or less category. IMR4064 is very close to the speed of Varget and is a great powder for most all bullet weights...

    44 Special reloading question

    Sierra Manual shows CFE in 44 Mag. W/ 240 JHP starting @ 9.2 grs. to a max of 11. grs. @ 1300 FPS. If you're using a 44 Mag Firearm, looks like you can go up to 11.4 grs without blowing your face off. 44 Special data shows 5.3 CFE W/ 240 JHP to a max of 6.7 @ 850 FPS. Your choice.

    .300 blackout Help

    CFE Pistol was NOT made for the 300 Blackout. It's a faster burning Pistol powder. Hodgdon CFE BLK was made for the 300 Blackout. The "CFE" in the names only refers to "Copper Fouling Eraser"elements being in the powder. You're gonna put your eye out! 🏴‍☠️ Don't mess around if you don't...

    L E Wilson full length not performing in my Proof barrel.

    Did you use some kind of comparator to measure shoulder bump? Are you 100% sure your issue is at the case web and not because of not bumping the case shoulder back enough? 98% of the time, chambering issues are from not enough shoulder bump. I reload for about a dozen different rifle calibers...

    Beginner - need equipment recommendations and advice

    I have an early Mfg. RCBS MM seating die and I have a Redding Competition mic seating die. I did some runout testing between the two. I only did 10 rds. ea. When averaged, the Redding came out on top, but only by about .0015". Not enough to worry about. I did some reading about the RCBS MM...

    Unknown 308 round

    Yes, test the case with a magnet. Pretty sure those are plated steel cases. I also vote they are Silver Bear ammo.

    old school powder

    I still have a pound or so of the WWII surplus 20MM Canon powder that Hodgdon sold after the war. My can was packaged in the late 1960's. It still works fine in 300 Win. Mag. loads. I had 3-4 #'s of it. I believe Hodgdon finally ran out of that powder around the late 70' or early 80's. He the...

    Do my brass necks look right?

    800 + grit sandpaper on really bad body galling and the Flitz. I also have the Bore Tech Copper remover.

    Do my brass necks look right?

    ^^^^All This^^^^ . You need to polish the neck area of your die. You have brass galled in the neck area. While you're at it, polish the entire inside of the die. Then fully wash out / clean any polishing residue out of the die using a solvent. I've had this happen. Polishing took the galled...
