    How stiff is too stiff closing a bolt on a jammed

    Guys I have a gun that is in the same chambering as another gun I have, I wanted to see if I could use the same dies and I built up a load. It just happens that the best load is the same as my other gun but the seating depth jam is a bit more as I guess one reamer is a bit different than the...

    210 primer in a lapua size case???

    Guys I wouldnt know how to search for this but if I am out of fed 215 and wanted to do some shooting could I substitute a fed 210 in a lapua case without creating issues? Anything I should be aware of? I assume it won't create a high per sure situation but could it not ignite the whole colum etc?
