    7.62 vs. .308 Brass

    I've always been skeptical about buying fired brass but it seems like there are a lot of people that swear by the LC brass. Are there certain places that are more reputable than others for buying it?

    Pressure Signs in a Bolt vs Semi

    True, this is a load that started getting a heavy bolt lift abruptly that I couldn't cure by lessening the charge even to the minimum. It seems like the PPU brass is more effort than its worth for the bolt action but I have yet to see any pressure signs in the semi-auto.

    Pressure Signs in a Bolt vs Semi

    Just shot the exact same load that was giving me a sticky bolt lift with federal brass and everything works fine with it, I can easily cycle the bolt while keeping an eye downrange. Looks like it's confirmed that it's the PPU brass that is giving me the problems. I'm still having trouble...

    Pressure Signs in a Bolt vs Semi

    I'm not feeling anything unusual when I chamber them, I typically only neck size for the AI so at first I was wondering if that could be causing issues. I ended up FL resizing some of the brass and firing it in the AI and that didn't seem to help, might actually have made it worse. I recorded...

    In need of some resizing help

    A lot of people seem to scoff at the idea of using the lube pad and rolling each piece of brass on it before FL resizing because it's not worth the time and effort. I've found that it makes FL resizing much smoother and produces much more consistent head spacing than when I used to spray lube...

    Pressure Signs in a Bolt vs Semi

    I posted a thread a few weeks ago trying to see if anyone could help identify the culprit of a sticky bolt lift in one of my loads for my 308 bolt gun. It seems like the general perception was just that PPU brass was no good for multiple reloads. I plan on shooting an identical load out of...

    New Pressure Signs

    I trim to 2.005” after I resize. I would think that if I was having a problem with the gun itself I’d be having issues with factory ammo as well. I have switched powder lots once with this load, that seems like an extreme change though

    New Pressure Signs

    I have a load that has been giving me a sticky bolt lift which wasn't really there before. I'm a little surprised that my milder practice load is giving this sticky bolt lift but the much hotter factory ammo seems to be fine. Based on the values I'm seeing from the books and what people are...

    Headspace all over the place

    I started out spraying lube in a plastic bag and then started to use my rolling pad and RCBS lube that came with my kit, the RCBS lube and rolling the cases on the pad really helped me get more consistent headspace values when FL sizing and I always use it now even though it adds some extra time...

    Rookie mistake fix?

    Looks like I'm too late and this isn't a very economical option, but if you had any desire to get a new trimmer there are plenty out there that you can trim after priming.

    Which 308 gasser should I buy? Accuracy is a big factor on my selection.

    I've been stalking these threads for 308 gassers for a while now and a lot of people seem to have good things to say about the JP rifles so they seem pretty great...I'm not sure if this is petty or just me, but does anyone else think that the aesthetics and look of the rifle put a huge damper on it?

    Do all hand held primer tools suck?

    Sometimes the edge of my primers come out a little deformed with the crescent shape you are talking about when primed with the RCBS handheld tool, around 60-90 degrees around the circumference primer. It seems like it's caused from the lack of concentricity allowed by the diameter of the...

    Armageddon Gear M2010 Soft Rifle Case For Half Price

    I also received the bag with the tan interior, no mat and also no shoulder straps or zippers on the exterior like the one shown on the images currently on the website. Also came with 10 mag pouches and 2 large pouches like most people have been saying.

    Armageddon Gear M2010 Soft Rifle Case For Half Price

    I would guess that it will still come with the pouches, the images online on other websites all show them which makes me think that it's standard. Use codes M6W, M6V or M6U for $110, $70 or $30 off orders of $900+, $600+ or $300+ plus free shipping. Thanks for the pictures, they were helpful.

    PPU brass

    If you have the brass check to make sure it doesn't have crimped and sealed primers, I'd be interested to confirm that ammo other than their match ammo doesn't.

    PPU brass

    I'm currently on 7 reloads with some of my PPU brass. I'm getting a standard deviation of 12 with my muzzle velocity typically without going through load development that is too intense. At 7 reloads I am keeping a close eye on case head separation for the brass which has been FL sized back down...

    Length to Ogive - What's consistent enough"?

    I've noticed that seating the round twice seems to help with the consistency also, that's a good point rotating the round...I'll have to try that.
