    You cannot get a more consistent, straight bullet seating than with an L.E. Wilson seater die IMHO

    Need some advice on a load

    Just curious why you chose 40.6, least vertical stringing and low ES? If you look at POI compared to 40.4 and 40.8 its significantly different, meaning a very narrow window on consistency. If I were looking at potential loads for further testing, I might make the assumption that "maybe" I...

    Question about Annealing too much

    So I'm confused, you stated that annealing a second time apparently made the brass harder and therefore increased neck tension? Thats backwards from the way it is supposed to work.

    Why I'm divesting of VV N570

    Sorry I can't help posting more on this apparent lie. If you look at the section at the bottom of the post where it appears that he has pasted a response from Philip Hoham, Technical Support, you would think that Philip would know how to spell the name of his employer correctly. Funny that he...

    Why I'm divesting of VV N570

    I would like to see a reference to the VihtaVuori statement, not just the original posters claim. "It was confirmed by VhitaVuori that as these powders age the nitro does move closer to the the surface of the powder kernel and change the burn rate. Answer is to retest your load every year and...

    Why I'm divesting of VV N570

    You do realize the legal ramifications of the information/statement in the above post that is not acknowledged, published or warned about in any way whatsoever by VihtaVouri. Kinda makes you wonder about the validity of the post.

    Why I'm divesting of VV N570

    Yes, I agree. There is nothing on the internet that even resembles the claim in #2. Hard to believe that an allegation (true or not) of age stability of a powder would go unnoticed on the www.

    Giraud Trimmer Spanners

    What? Are you saying $100 shipping to Canada for two small spanners? And what does Covid have to do with shipping and shit getting lost?

    Is my Giraud broken?

    Trimming off the shoulder is much more desirable than trimming for case length. I would much rather have consistent neck lengths than have that additional variation because I trimmed from the case head. I mean my headspace is pretty consistent, so its not a huge concern to me, however folks that...

    Best place to buy gun safe on a budget?

    Don't be me. About 30 years ago when I got my first safe, I thought my brother in law and I could move it into the house. That ordeal was nearly a major disaster that almost ended with the safe in the basement and not in the way we would have wanted it to get there. Not to mention the sore backs...

    Never been seen before.....by me.

    Well, your comment that brass cannot be annealed until you are done forming is clearly wrong. Maybe you should have a better understanding of what you are talking about.

    Annealing makes brass softer not harder.

    Never been seen before.....by me.

    I think the point here is that during drawing/forming process there are a number of annealing steps to soften the brass and make it more workable, then followed by a final annealing. Any failure to properly anneal at any one of those annealing stages could be enough to stress the brass to a...
