    22 Dasher

    If you have access to the schematic of the reamer, you can figure out where the shoulder will be blown to and create a false shoulder by only turning the neck back to where the new shoulder will be. Best way I have found to produce nice clean shoulders on dashers and brx's, short of sending them...

    6BR family: Other than Varget?

    The exact opposite is the direction taken by most competitors I shoot against that are shooting the BRA. Most (me included) have gone to H4895. A powder to look for if you are out checking small gunshops that sell reloading supplies: IMR4320 is a great replacement for Varget. Old school powder...

    Noob? for redding S FL resizing die users

    Another option would be to send 3 of your fired cases (pick a brand you plan on using the most) and send them to Whidden for a custom die. They can do either bushing or non-bushing dies. If you go bushing die, they also sell a kit with your choice of bushings to play with your sizing. It's a buy...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    Neck turned 240 6BR cases for a new 6BRA that needs fire forming, neck turned 100 6BR cases and sized for new 22BR varmint rig, loaded all neck turned brass with R15 and various bullets in 6mm and .224 for range time. Sorted B to O 1000 Berger 108 BT's.

    Annealing Brass - Science vs Myths

    There is an approach that some of us less educated people use that is based around "does it work when I do this". I have been annealing brass for over 40 years, as mentioned earlier, some was the caveman method. I got acceptable, sometimes even great results on work hardened brass using the...

    Redding Type-S bushing size?

    Need a little more info to help. * What is the neck size of your chamber? * Will you be turning necks? * What is the thickness of the brass in the neck right now? need a tube mic for this * Will you single load, or run magazines? An un-fired Lapua case will usually have a tight enough neck to...

    Annealing Brass - Science vs Myths

    I use an AMP for my annealing now after going from the stone age with a drill and flame to a Giraud system. Not going to go into the science of what works, just going to say that all the different methods work if you know what you are doing. I turn necks on all my competition brass (f-class and...

    Ring Around the Case

    Could you answer those questions one more time for us please... :rolleyes: :unsure:

    Ring Around the Case

    I agree with your assessment. Only other thing I can think of would be to check head space. Is this a barrel nut setup that you set the head space on? Have you checked to make sure the barrel is still torqued to the proper settings?

    Neck Tension question...

    When I got serious with benchrest shooting a couple years ago, I went to non-bushing dies and use these to lap out my dies for consistent roundness and what I want for initial neck tension when I size. http://www.acrolaps.com/ I get to play with various mandrel sizes after that to get the neck...

    Neck Tension question...

    :ROFLMAO: (y)Everyone in this game needs to buy a set of gauge pins that they can check this info out on their cases if they are serious.

    Ring Around the Case

    I would make a couple measurements from base to where the shoulder starts on brass that wasn't fired in the last outing and see how that compares to a similar measurement on the brass that was just fired. If it is stretching that far up on the case, there will be a difference in that...

    Neck Tension question...

    If you are getting a reading of .365 with a loaded round, I would say you need to go down to at least a .363 bushing. Have you been shooting the rounds from a mag, or single loading them? If from a mag with several rounds in it, check the OAL of one of the rounds still in the mag after firing a...

    Loading virgin brass for fire forming

    Is the barrel new, or does it have some "seasoning"? The reason for the question is that some load data will change from a new barrel as it seasons (usually pick up speed after about a 100 rounds). New brass I still size before the first firing just to make sure necks are round and close to the...
