Re: 308 Win Brass (GGG) & (CBC) CBC = Magtech as its known in the States... CBC - Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos aka the Brazilian Cartridge Company CBC pistol brass i come across i just throw in with my other mixed headstamp blasting ammo. Seems to hold up just fine.

Re: Lake City Match Brass... Just use what your reloading manuals say but subtract 1-2 grains and work up from there.

Re: What lube do you use for resizing cases? Imperial Wax for small batches of brass. Lyman spray lube for the bulk stuff. Works well as long as you use enough and let it sit for 10+ minutes before loading.

Re: Random holes in primers CCI#44 is the milspec small rifle primer.

Re: Need an SKS barrel swapped out, it is threaded I hate to admit to it, but when i swapped out a sewer grade barrel on a Yugo SKS of mine i used a very large adjustable wrench... Granted i was very careful to keep the wrench at the strongest point of the reciever. Other than a lot of...

Re: IMR 8208XBR? I wonder how well 8208XBR will do in a M14... Darn I'm going to have to buy some now.

Re: Lapua vs. Winchester New Brass I love the quality and consistency of Lapua brass. Does it justify the cost well that is up to your wallet, your significant other (if that applies haha) and how much you enjoy brass prep. Something else to consider, I do love Winchester as well...

Re: could i set my M1A brass on shoulders back less? 400carbon you're quite welcome. I too am always on a quest to get a little bit better at my reloading techniques. Especially when it comes to the M1/M14. Now i just got to wait for my LRB M25 receiver to show up (put on the wait list in...

Re: could i set my M1A brass on shoulders back less? You need to bump the shoulder back much further than 0.002" on a M14 action. The cases actually stretch longer than the chamber due to being under pressure when the extraction cycle begins. (The main reason that the M14 is so damn hard on...

Re: Dillon 1050 automated While i don't own a Dillon 1050, i do own its smaller brother the 650. As cool as a fully automated system is, the potential of a bad reload getting past you is enough of a concern (to both life and limb) that i would stick with pure muscle power. In my...

Re: Swage Glad to know i am not the only one who has warped 223 cases with that thing. Guess you really don't appreciate the mechanical advantage that the Super-Swage really generates. Then again i never thought about the power of my Redding T-7 until i got my finger pinched between the...

Re: Swage Correct the Super-Swage uses physical pressure to reshape the primer pocket at the area of the crimp. As for setting the thing up... well, to start i would take the unit apart, give it a nice light coat of oil (i use Mobil One 5w30 on my presses) and reassemble. Removing large...

Re: Tubb's final finish ?? anyone use it ? I have used both the Final Finish and TMS bullets with good results. Most recently i fired all but the roughest grit through my SOCOM-16 M1A which had a pretty rough barrel. Makes cleaning the bore much nicer. I use the TMS bullets in my Krieger...
