Anybody have that happen? Any solutions? I picked up about 800 Speer, nickle plated, .40 S&W brass at the range (factory loads) and have been de-capping them before throwing in the tumbler. The primers get stuck on the pin and when it retracts, it re-seats the primer back into the pocket a...

I just got some new Lapua brass and have a GAP built Surgeon, Mike Rock 308 custom. I also just got a Sinclair length gauge and want to set up my trim length for my chamber. The instructions with the gauge warns to maintain at least .024 less than the chamber length. I am hand feeding, not...

I just got a new arbor press and Wilson hand dies. I Got it all cleaned and set up and started making some test loads and found that the seating depth was varying any where from 2.209 to 2.212 to the ogive. I was trying for 2.212 which is touching the lands in my rifle. I am seating 168...

Hey reloading fans! I just got 500 new Lapua brass. This will be my first experience with them. I have been using Winchester. I've heard that the case capacity of the Lapua is a little less than Win and will cause higher pressure and/or velocity at a given charge. I will of course be...

I'd like some opinions on triggers. I have a GAP 308 with a Surgeon 591 and a stock Rem trigger. I would like to try something that I can set lighter for paper punching at long range. What is your favorite trigger and why? Sorry if this is a dead horse question. Thanks!

Is .1 grain close enough when shooting a 1000 yards or more? I am loading 45.0 Varget for my 308 rounds and have only been able to get to a 500 yard range so far. Soon I am going to go to a longer range and am just wondering if it matters if you are at .1 or is it better to get a finer charge...

My POI's are not always where the reticle is when the rifle goes off. I am new to long range, prone shooting but I love it and want to be better. I have been shooting for 3 or 4 months and have gotten better but I'm kind of stuck. I just got a GAP 308 in an AI and got it all adjusted and I...

I have a brother who just got a 700 milspec in 308 Win. and he has 8lbs of IMR4895 that he was loading 30-06's for his Garand. I kind of got him interested in long range shooting and I only use Varget. After dropping the cash for the rifle he wants to use up the 4895. We need to do some test...

I am loading 308 Win rounds with Win brass that I bought new and processed. they were shot twice in my CZ and then I bought a GAP custom and had to get a match full length size die to resize them down to the new chamber. I sized all and shot them once and after they were fire formed to the new...
