    Re: FL sizer dies and concentricity. Vman, I'm a Forster guy too, i first started using them for my .308. however.. When I first upgraded my dies for my 22-250 to Forster, I ordered a neck sizer, and a FL die, the FL die's stem looks exactly The same as your crooked rcbs stem! The neck...

    shell holder for Wilson trimmer?

    Re: shell holder for Wilson trimmer? You want the 'fired brass' shelholder, I have both but have never used the 'new brass' one. Even WITH new brass, the fired brass holder is fine. Micrometer is great if u use the trimmer for different calibres regularly, otherwise it just sits there...

    AR feed ramp issue?

    Re: AR feed ramp issue? Yes the meplats appear to be getting rammed pretty hard about half way up the ramp, and yes, 77gr Berger hollow points. Not bothered about the brass scratches, but the bullet scratches look nasty. Yes it's a single shot AR-15, you have to manually work the bolt every...

    Electric powder measures

    Re: Electric powder measures I first went from beam to RCBS 750, ran it for about a year, liked it, Then treated myself to the Chargemaster. I should have bought the chargemaster in the first place, it's a joy to use, Re-programmed to speed it up a little, and never had any problems running...

    AR-15 Magazine Clearance?

    Re: AR-15 Magazine Clearance? Measure, make up some dummy rounds and try their function for yourself.. I recently tried some at 2.285" base to tip, there appeared to be at nice bit of clearance, but they still hung up, so I quit fooling around and stayed at 2.260" book length. If it...

    Moving An Accurate Load Closer To The Lands

    Re: Moving An Accurate Load Closer To The Lands Your at 41.3 grns, but have been as high as 48 grns? Is that a typo? Either way, moving the bullet out should reduce pressure, until you hit the lands, then it can spike up again, How much this will affect the velocity depends on powder burn...

    Differences in OAL

    Re: Differences in OAL Hmm, that's still a big difference, especially with a-max's.. As 'forcemultiplier' said above, you still need to measure off the ogive really for A true meaningful figure. Actually, that measurement sounds short, so I'm guessing you ARE measuring off the ogive...

    Bent decapping assembly

    Re: Bent decapping assembly Was this your Forster die (ouch) or the rcbs one? All I can think of (on the Forster die) is the nut that clamps the decapping pin in place, bottomed out on the inside of the case while you were still raising the ram?? But then you would feel it, and it would...

    My 99% complete reloading room!

    Re: My almost complete reloading room! You forgot the stripper pole and glitter ball! Good job, and I shouldn't worry too much about chemical spillages.. As far as reloading goes, I can't imagine any powder spillages damaging anything! And I do all my reloading/gun cleaning in our kitchen...

    185 Bergers?

    Re: 185 Bergers? Vman, berger's run at that same price here in the UK too, So I fully sympathise! Lapua brass/bullets, and Viht powder is cheaper here than USA tho, So that's a bit of an offset ;D If only Lapua made petrol..
