    Lee Handprimer w/338 lapua

    Re: Lee Handprimer w/338 lapua I didn't know that Sinclair made special tool heads for the calibers that Lee doesn't accommodate. Now your Cheytac comment makes sense to me. Had to look. Glad you're squared away.

    Reloading press

    Re: Reloading press Hornady LnL AP. It has an excellent powder system and auto-indexing. Changeovers are quick, easy and inexpensive (in comparison). They even have the bullet bribe.

    Marks on neck = too much neck tension?(.308)

    Re: Marks on neck = too much neck tension?(.308) You may have brass embedded on your bushing. Copper solvent will remove it. As mentioned, the bushing should be sized to accommodate the brass. Is your virgin brass a new batch?

    Annealing-What Temp?

    Re: Annealing-What Temp? Annealing temp for brass is about 670F. The trick is in measuring the temperature. Hornady uses 475F TempiLaq, but places it below the case neck. What you don't want to do is to soften anything but the neck. The Hornady kit includes case holders. Something like...
