    Beginner - need equipment recommendations and advice

    I am going to post again since I didn't actually address most of your questions. I personally don't recommend reloading anything that you will be shooting in bulk. For me, that's 9mm an 5.56. When I look at the cost/time involved, it makes wayy more sense for me to just buy ammo than to reload...

    Beginner - need equipment recommendations and advice

    My biggest 2 pieces of advice... 1. In my opinion, the cheapest but most impactful item to add to the bench is dedicate reloading journal. No form of precision can exist without repeatability. A journal WILL be instrumental in achieving this. They make reloading journals you can buy online but...

    7.62x54r StaBall and 168gr tmk

    There was a time when I was wayyy more involved in old military rifles than anything else. I even had a C&R license. I never reloaded for any of them though. I always shot surplus ammo. Would be interesting to see if anyone on here has gone down that path.

    6GT vs 6Dasher

    I'm confused. That's exactly what I was trying to say. You can run the 6gt slightly hotter if you have specific need but as you mentioned, most guys aren't running that high anyway so its a non issue for the most part.

    6GT vs 6Dasher

    Agreed. It was a known issue at one point which is the major reason why 6gt became a thing. It's not really an issue anymore, at least in my experience, so other than experimenting with a new cartridge, or having a need for very slightly higher velocity potential, I personably don't see the...

    6GT vs 6Dasher

    It’s what I’m noticing as well. At least with the guys local to me. I spoke to several guys that were running 6gt while I was planning to build one. While no one really had anything to complain about, they were split down the middle between guys saying they wanted to go back to either 6br or...

    My press is Phucked Up

    Ok... did he at least find anything cool? I used to smash rocks with a hammer in my backyard as a kid. That was a terrible/genius idea... I almost always got hurt from rock shrapnel but I was 100% convinced that I was going to find a fossil or gold or a geode.

    Help newbie find a node!

    I don't think that there is zero validity to the node idea as many people utilize that line of thought during their load development but I do agree that its not a major contributing factor. At least its not something that I have ever put too much weight behind. Consistency is key across the...

    One of your original questions was if the ambient temp change while you were shooting would have a large enough impact to see the vertical stringing you had during your test. Short answer... No. Varget is very temp stable.

    Also, while FC brass will work for a while while you are learning the ropes, you might want to consider trying a high quality brass eventually. Better consistency in brass thickness and volume, among other things, can play a significant part in consistency down range.

    Brass looks fine to me. I agree you should revisit 11-13 with #11 being the obvious winner for today. Vertical stringing can be caused by several variables. What powder are you using? If it’s a temp stable powder, the difference in ambient temp wouldn’t cause that much of an impact shift. More...
