    Seating depth, what’s acceptable variation?

    For those who fuss with minor OAL and think seating depth really matters .... What's your measured throat erosion rate? Most of mine average between .003"-.005" per 100 rds. Suppose you shoot a 200 round match, what happens to your load? I used to chase the lands as the throat eroded...

    JAE Experts

    There were a few changes over the years..... post a picture, it will help. Not a lot of material differences, mainly shaving off a few ounces, addition of the nose art, Arca rails, bag rider etc, rails..... functionally they remained the same.

    Seating depth, what’s acceptable variation?

    You're there, well within tolerance IMO...,. I prime, mandrel and seat bullets for my P.R. ammo on a Dillon 1050 and can have up to +\-.005" variation. I can't see any practical difference on performance and the reduction in time is significant!

    What causes this? (Neck "Lip")

    As your wet tumbling, this is the most likely cause, even without the pins the mouths will peen and cause the chambering issue issue your experiencing. Lots of folks confuse it with a sizing issue but it's not. The simple solution is to insert a trim/debur step right before loading and you'll...

    What causes this? (Neck "Lip")

    Wet tumbling with stainless steel pins is the most likely cause...... I've seen this numerous times. Cut down your wet tumbling time and chamfer/debur every time and you'll reduce your issues.

    Internal case base separation!

    I've been loading a long time and never seen anything like this.... once fired new Hornady brass in my 28 Nosler hunting rifle. I went to process the brass and felt/heard a clunking sound in the case. The video explains the rest..... anyone ever seen anything like this? I checked the rest of...

    Acceptable work or not?

    6 groove barrel? Cut or button rifled? Not sure what a smith can do to "fix" anything...... if you're worried about the cut marks remember they are magnified by your bore scope...... best way to smooth them out is to just shoot it, they'll be gone in a couple hundred rounds.
