    Lemi Shine and Dish Soap

    When I first started using Dawn and Lemishine I got out my wife's kitchen measuring stuff and added per the instructions. Since then, I have graduated to long squirt of Dawn and short squirt of Lemishine. Always have great results.

    Velocity shifts same load?

    It might be atmospheric conditions as the Labradar Doppler reads reflection from the bullet base as it flies downrange, not as it flies past the Labradar near the muzzle. Labradar advertises +- .1% accuracy and at 2850 fps that only represents +-3 fps. However I'm sure that accuracy pertains to...

    Brass collapsing issue (6gt)

    That gouge in the bullet jacket looks pretty deep. Is your seating die setup correctly? What kind of die?

    Jump to reloading now or wait

    You do not have to buy new equipment, you can save a bunch of money buying used. Its kind of hard to wear out a press even after a lifetime of use, especially if you buy a single stage. I don't know how old you are but buying equipment now and starting your own reloading will reap a ton of...

    New Ammunition plant to open manufacturing primers

    Yes, the rising cost of manufacturing and living is here to stay for the foreseeable future. The problem is not isolated to the firearms industry, its pretty much across the board. I work in manufacturing and see the issues from every angle. Labor issues in finding people that want to work and...

    OCW Math... Am I close?

    Why would you go to all the trouble of asking about your OCW calculations for powder charge, load up the recommended loads, and then go measure a bunch of velocities and no targets?

    OCW Math... Am I close?

    You followed the OCW instructions to a T. However, I would modify slightly so you can feel comfortable with the range of powder charges you worked with. 75.1 to 76.1 @ a .5 gr jump is just not enough data to make good decisions on the optimum load. I would start at 74 grains and jump .4 between...

    What next

    Oh noooo.... not another runout does/doesn't matter thread. Hard to argue with German Salazar however his test was with one die from each manufacturer and does not account for variation from one die to the next from the same manufacturer. I've had dies from one manufacturer (no names here) that...

    What next

    I agree with you. Ideally you can have different mandrels to get the nest neck tension for the down range result and use an arbor press with force gage to detect any cases that might be different in some regard and have a much tighter or looser neck tension and then cull them and use for...

    What next

    If you examine a LE Wilson die and the mechanics involved in seating, I think its pretty apparent that the bullet can go no other way but straight in, while the case is secured. All the other brands have sliding sleeves or other doo-dad to keep the case and bullet aligned while seating. Some...
