I have a custom 6.5 creedmoor build. I am currently using new 308 Lapua brass and through several steps turning them to 6.5 cases. My question: once the 08' cases are sized the thickness of the neck is significant (around .016) I've been turning the necks to a even .014 all around. Is it bad to...

When fire-forming factory new brass, is it best to fire-form with HOT loads or mid level loads with mid burn rate powder for best/most consistent results? Thank you for your answers

I just bought a sinclair max chamber length gauge. I trimmed my case way back, inserted the soft steel gauge in the case and got a maximum length measurement. My question is how far back should I trim it. It just so happens in this particular rifle it tends to like near maximum charges for...

I am thinking of re barreling and giving the 260 rem a try. My question is, if I'm using a badger DBM system, can the bullets can 142 SMK's be loaded to land depth in general? How about Lapua 139 Scenars? Just curious. Thanks

Was thinking of my next gun being a 260 rem. I was just wondering what loads people were getting out of their 260s to see what I can expect out of a 26'' barrel. Thanks

Looking to build a 338 Lapua Magnum. I was on Badgers site and it shows their DBM at "CIP Length" Anyone know what the max cartridge length would be? and what exactly does CIP length mean. Thanks a lot for your help

I recently purchased a rem 700 SPS in 308. As soon as the the very first round was fired I noticed an immense amount of brass on the bolt face and the brass around the primer looked like it was taking serious amounts of brass off the cases. This goes for anything I shoot out of it. The marks...

I am shooting a 300 win and am going to try 208gr A max bullets. My question is mainly for seating depth. What seating depth have you guys found to be good in relation to the lands. I was figuring because of the secant ogive of the bullet it may prefer to be lightly touching the lands to self...

I am shooting a 300 Win mag and was wondering what people thought of the Redding Body Die to bump the shoulder back. Does anyone use this? Do they like the shoulder bump feature? am I better off just getting the full length die and adjustting down? Thanks

Once my cases are all prepped and ready for fireforming, is simply a mild load recommended or is it preferred to be running a load more on the hot side? (I'm loading a 300 Win Mag) T
