    soot on necks

    I am shooting reloaded full body resized 22-250 and the necks have black soot on them - is this a headspace issue - do I need to just neck resize and not do a full body resize? Does this mean that there is too much room between the neck and the chamber? thanks!

    headspace - bumping shoulders back

    I have a Sako TRG-42 in 338 Lapua - I am reloading. Are there any articles on the net which explain how to measure headspace and set up the dies to "bump back the shoulder"? Any help would be appreciated!

    overthinking reloading - bullet weights?

    Re: overthinking reloading - bullet weights? im looking at page 77 - "in conclusion, minimum lag time will always be realized by the highest BC (heaviest) bullet available in the caliber"

    overthinking reloading - bullet weights?

    I am reading Applied Ballistics for Long Range Shooting by Bryan Litz. Just finished chapter 5 on wind deflection. My take away is that you should use the heaviest bullet possible with the lowest ballistic coefficient. This reduces lag time and therefore wind deflection to a minimum. So why...

    number of reloads for 338 lapua?

    Re: number of reloads for 338 lapua? I will be shooting a TRG42 which I guess is easier on the brass than a gas gun. Is anealing important to extending the life of the brass?

    How many reloads can you get out of .338 lapua? I heard only 3 or 4 before heads start to separate and cracks start appearing. Any thoughts?
