    Why use 556 when Valkyrie is available ?

    True, for some reason I recalled he was loading the 69 TMK. No matter, I’ve done limited testing and that part went well.

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I’ve seen marble slabs under peoples scales, and I’m familiar with the various Starrette, etc.flat plates. What is everyone using for those? I’m wanting to get something to set my A&D scale on but don’t quite think I need a $300 block. Any thoughts?

    Why use 556 when Valkyrie is available ?

    I thought the JP mex-match was with a tipped 69 grain match king?

    Why use 556 when Valkyrie is available ?

    Yea, but I can get 3,100 FPS with a 69 grain Sierra Match King with the Valkyrie. I’m still playing with mine, but I’ll say this. I wouldn’t skip a precision 223 for a Valkyrie right off. I had the 223 stuff and still enjoy messing with them. To me the Valkyrie is another precision semi auto I...

    Where to put it?

    I prefer to move the press that I’m not using at the moment off the bench. But in your case with the Dillon on the strong mount you cannot do that. You’d have two put the Inline plates on them.

    .224 Valkyrie

    I watched that video recently and decided to try something. I pulled the 75’s and replaced them with a 69 grain SMK. I only did a few just to see. They went 3,100 FPS with pretty good SD’s. I’m not with my notes but accuracy and SD was pretty good.

    Oddity I’m getting this message

    Yes I do read them. I’ve not seen it addressed or I wouldn’t have asked.

    Oddity I’m getting this message

    When navigating the site, I’m getting this off and on when I click on a tread or sub-forum. Not seeing it using other forums, any ideas?

    Redding surprise.

    I called them recently simply for a little advice on a die setting I was unsure about. The person I spoke with was knowledgeable and got me straight with no drama whatsoever.

    Forster reloading press

    I’ve used mine for years now to prime. I’m glad I started with the press as I now hate everything about shell holders, shell plates, and caliber conversions. But like others said, it takes a little getting used to. I do use the short handle on it for priming and actually choke up on it to use...

    Night Vision Helmets! Helmets everywhere! Which is best for NODs?

    Where did you get those, Keel Haul? I’ve been looking for something and had not seen those for some reason.

    I’m not sure if I can make that. However do carry on with it.

    I have one, what questions do you have?

    Mixing different lots of same powder into one

    It’s doubtful, I’d look at your reloading steps. Did you at least measure your new case necks? Many times they may not be completely perfect coming out of the bag or box. Thus far I’ve always neck sized any new brass. I’ve mixed lots, like mentioned for simply creating a single lot of 5-6...

    Never bothered to call, it shows up when it shows up.

    Porcelain Tumbling Media?

    All in all the Lyman green tumbling media has been the best for me. I’ve used several types and come back to it. I keep it in the big Dillon tumbler. I typically use Lyman natural corncob in my smaller Frankford tumbler. It’s been ok but I think it’s about shot. I did just get some Hornady...

    Porcelain Tumbling Media?

    Stainless steel tumbling has never peened over any case mouths at my place. So many myths. I’ve done it a bunch of ways, I SS tumble as my last step before priming, powdering and loading. It’s been fine, and so was doing it earlier in the process. Frankly there’s a lot of correct ways to do...

    .224 Valkyrie

    I have a 24in AR with a 1/7 twist. Anyone used IMR 4350 with 88 grain ELDM’s?
