I owe everyone an apology for wasting your time. I did measure the shoulder bump for a batch I loaded today and one I loaded a few days ago. No problem. I just remembered I had a batch from two weeks ago and so I measured the bump. The numbers were all over the place and would certainly...

Just in case I have used my Redding S bushing dive for 25 cases I am processing and a new Forster bushing die for the second 25. Should eliminate the effects of a particular die.

Case Separation Bump is measured with a Sinclair Comparator. I only use Lapua brass although that doesn't guarantee the brass is identical--same batch. I am only using Varget through this whole process. Actually the same can. The separation occurred half way between the head and the...

Last Wednesday I had a case separate about half way up the case. It left the top half of the case in the barrel. I was able to remove the case using a chamber brush. I had been noticing a faint circle around some of my cases but the circle was smooth inside and out. The batch had been fired...

Thanks for all the information. I decided to go with John Whidden in Nashville, Georgia.

Thanks for the Information. Thanks for the Information.

My first post. I spend most of my time reloading, shooting targets once a week, customizing my AR15 and Remington 700, and doing research on the internet. This is the only firearms related forum I am a member of. The rest are related to WWII maps and aerial photos. My web site...
