    Anybody care to explain this charge weight/POI ridiculousness?

    Works the same in handguns...

    Deprime before or after tumbling? (Newbie)

    Yeah,,but just think about all the extra powder you can get in there after they are thinned out and fire formed again!!! WooHoo!! :-)

    Issues with Lapua Brass (Updated with Pics)

    I thoroughly agree, but I do think that the builder should have given the OP the spec's for the rifle, instead of just letting him fend for himself.

    Deprime before or after tumbling? (Newbie)

    Ah yes, perpetuating the myth... I wonder how the ammo producers get away with it...

    Another ingenious solution to a non-existent problem, in my opinion.

    Deprime before or after tumbling? (Newbie)

    My cases are tumbled before they get anywhere near my dies, but I usually use walnut and walnut doesnt clean primer pockets to any real extent. If using stainless media depriming before tumbling is good, so the pockets will be cleaned.

    Concentricity Gauge....

    All you need is a caliber sized hole in your bench, or similar, if you want to try to "straighten" out of concentric rounds. "Bending" on a loaded round screws the case grip on the bullet, not a good idea. Concentricity guages should be considered a diagnostic tool, not a repair tool.

    switched cleaning methods - ES/SD improves, why?

    They don't do anything, a lot of folks "bump" their seating depth a couple thou if their ammo has been sitting around for a while. Load your match ammo, and go shoot your match.

    switched cleaning methods - ES/SD improves, why?

    How many times will the case need to be fired with something like 748 before you see a half grain difference in h2o capacity, assuming a .308 case? I am willing to bet that the case will be history before it makes much difference.

    switched cleaning methods - ES/SD improves, why?

    I agree completely.

    New Winchester .30-06 brass not long enough to trim square?

    Oh yes, they will stretch! They might even get long enough to trim if you fl size them before loading, many people do this with new cases, and I am one of them.

    I need some experienced .45 acp loader advice

    "If you ever use hand loaded ammo for self defense you may appear to be a trigger happy killer to some jury member. Factory ammo is viewed as a standard over the counter item and not some choice of a crazed killer. " Massad Ayoob has been runnin' this crap for years, this does not happen in...

    "Mexican" match ammo????

    The only way to find out...is try, watch for pressure. I would at least weigh some of the powder charges to get an average weight and then dump all of the powder in to a container and recharge the cases with weighed charges, and resize the necks, after pulling the bullets neck tension could be...

    Getting setup for 308...die recommendations?

    Forster, I have tried 'em all except Whidden. I just flat don't fool with bushing dies anymore, in my experience they make things worse and bushings are expensive. Best is to have a die made to fit your chamber with the least amount of neck sizing possible. I have had more stuck cases with...
