I’ve got to dust off the old Chrony and see if it still works.

I’m .015 off. What I did was load an empty new shell with a barely seated bullet. I slowly closed the bolt then measured it. I set my press to give me a .015 shorter length. thats from the tip to the base. Just received my comparator set. So I can now measure shoulder set back.

Comparator showed up.

My RCBS doesn’t throw precisely enough for me to trust it. At least using H1000. I set it light and check every single round then trickle up to spec.

2 types of cancer on my forehead neither were melanoma. They burned them off with nitrogen. Ones coming back. Yup don’t mess around and get a checkup.

I have one in my cart at Amazon. Got a possible health issue to deal with then it’s mine.

I understand the shoulder bump. I can only use dry erase on the shell and see where it is touching when I chamber it. I dont think I have a way to measure the shoulder setback with what I have. All I can be sure of is that so far the case shows a sign of being touched by both the belt and the...

No I dont yet. All I do right now is to take a unprimed case, slip in a bullet and chamber it. From that overall reading of 3.671 I am pulling it back to 3.651 for a .020 jump. I have a good set of calipers and a 1 inch mic. but thats all as far as measuring tools go. To me it seems like I have...

OK Measurments. Unfired brass at belt. .505, fired brass is .512. resized brass is now .510. Neck ID new is .305, resized is .304. . I just cant thank you all enough for your help. Now i'm off to load 100 rounds and shoot next week out to 300 yds. I havent shot that far since I was in the...

Thank you to all of you for your help. I purchased some RCBS Case Slick. First I swabbed out my dies with alcohol. Then wiped down my brass. after lubing the die and case It slid right in without any problems. Now to measure what it sizes it back to.

I have Mics and calipers. I was really worried about the .007 increase at the belt. I will buy some real lube tomorrow and get back to here with some info. Thanks for taking the time to help.

LOL I live in CA. No one admits they do anything with guns. I think we do have a guy who reloads a lot of ammo. I will try him tomorrow too. I need to find a good gun smith in the Orange county area if anyone has a recommendation. I have found out I am just a powder filler. Not a reloader.

Thanks guys. I'll find some tomorrow and let you know what happens.

Sorry No the case fits the rifle easily but not the die. I'm using Outers gun oil. Thats what the guy at the store said to use. I have the redding two die set. I am having a problem with the decapping / resizing die. I had to run the decapping pin out to remove the primers.

It will chamber. What it wont do is tighten the case mouth back to what it needs to be. The bullets are a easy slip fit right now.

Outers. The table is plenty strong for the new brass. I mean I really tried to press it in with out slamming it. I have to slap the handle a few time pretty hard to get the case to release from the die. I spent the time reading the reloading threads stickys on here and dont see what I am doing...

I have a Remington 700 that is brand new. I loaded 100 rounds for it using H1000 and 208 ELDX's. Started light at 72 and went up in .5 grain increments. I didnt check speeds but I did check for group size. 5 round groups. 75.5 was my tightest at just under 3/4 center to center. At 78.5 I had a...

Anybody build a wildcat out of 416 Remmy Magnum brass? I got given a bunch of brass and bullets. I dont want a 416 but a 408/416 or 375/416 might be something fun to shoot.

My buddy has a whole bunch of new 416 Rem Magnum brass And bullets. There’s no bears or rhinos in LA to shoot s we are kicking around what we might make out of them. Don’t know if it’s worthwhile to try and build a whole rifle for some wild round just cause we can. Do any of you load 416 or...

Could he add weight into the stock. Under the butt plate. He could deep drill and press in heavy metal tungsten rods. They would be hidden and add mass without affecting his appearance. Same in the forend take it off and cut channels to lay some rods in then seal them in place and reinstall The...
