    OnTarget Question

    I cannot scan all of my targets in a single scan, but any subsequent scans open in a new project. How do I get all my targets entered into one project. I am trying to do OCW with ten targets fired. It seems there should be a way for me to scan each target individually and then use them all in...

    Compressed Loads and Redding Competition Seater

    I am loading Varget in 308. The hotter loads per Nosler and others begin to fill more than 100%. I have my bullets loaded to max mag. length which is still well short of the lands so I've not smushed powder yet. My delema is that I've need for more powder but the die's instructions say not to...

    Prepping New Lapua Brass?

    I have a box of 100 .308 of which a representative sample seems very consistent in head space ( 0.002" +/- 0.0005" less than the measured rifle head space), and case length (2.007" +/- 0.0005"), the primer holes are not burred or flapped and the mouth even seems to have a slight inside chamfer...

    Speaking of Digitals, Look what I got for $100.

    I found it on Craig's list and bought it from a machinist who never used it but was given to him by an inspector. It is a combo set of Mitutoyo 6" caliper model #500-321 and 1" micrometer model # 293-705.

    Case Resizing - What's not right here?

    Forster Coax and Lee Universal Decapper

    I'm guessing by the way I broke my decapping pin of my Lee universal decapping die on the very first 38 spl. that I tried to decap, that the Forster Coax won't align the pin and primer on account of the floating die. Can anyone confirm this or does anyone's similar arrangement function for...

    Where to reload? Space and Environment Issues

    I'm about to start reloading but I don't really have a place to set up. I can put my presses most easily in the garage but I am concerned about the temperature and humidity variations and how these might affect my tolerances and equipment care. I also am considering a small, portable setup...

    Too Short New Brass?

    I have some new Winchester .357 Mag brass that I am using as a first time reloader to learn my tools and technique. I uniformed my primer pockets and deburred my flash holes and was measuring the case length to see if I might need to trim the cases. However, the book length for the cases is...

    Brass: Same brand, different lots.
