probably not your problem but i had something similar. remington 260, lapua brass, when reloaded, very very hard to close bolt, all dimensions 'appeared' to be correct, saami chamber. what it trued out to be was the lip of the casing was thicker than the rest of the case, once a bullet was...

remington 5r. i started shooting federal gold, mostly 168s before i got into reloading. when i started reloading and continue to this day i try to load to federal gold specs (muzzle velocity and so forth) which gives me very good (sometimes .5MOA 5 shot groups at 300 to 500 meters) 175 smk...

i am doing something very similar. Same caliber, brass, same k&m tools, same process with some differences. When i start setting up my turning, i use the k&m hand tool instead of the drill. i verify that the results are consistent. slow and tedious but its just me slowly turning the casing on...

good results with 580gr lappua scenars over 160 gr varget. still waiting on K&M for custom carbide tipped mandrel so i can turn my necks consistently. was hopping to get some reloadable 37mm grenades but powder valley has been backorded on these for 10 years. supposedly there is a supplier in...

what works for me.. out of the tumbler, into a metal spaghetti colander rinse a bit more shake it a bit to get some water out, dump brass into towel, ball up and get a lot more moister out, back into a dry colander hand-held blow dryer whilst stirring the brass for a few minutes, let cool and...

ah me.. so absolutist in positioning. compromise is a tool. some compromise is good, some is bad. the compromise i suggested wasnt meant to open the door to anything else, only to allow citizens once again to buy new and imported automatic weapons with the incentive to the other side, higher...

Compromise is why we are in the situation we are in now, in your "amerika". .. i disagree. when the majority or those in control want something a certain way and you dont want it that way but they make it so anyway, thats not what i call compromise. its not like there was/is any agreement about...

this is amerika, im free to be as big an idiot as the law allows. not sure what part of the comment is 'idiotic'. its dreaming, it is. but if you could somehow convince the guberment to open the registry back up, entice them with more revenue and at the same time get all the goodies from...

yes. a bit surprised the the EPA actually doesnt require the use of gun mufflers in many cases. if you were to demo a supersonic loaded firearm with a suppressor to even the most anti-gun person and then couch the whole argument as noise pollution issue i wouldnt be surprised that you could get...

my milspec 5r likes sierra 175s i try to load them to get similar fgmm performance. however thats not the point of my question.. which is.. some claim weight some claim BC is more important. some seem to imply that weight trumps BC (within a range more or less). my understanding is that BC...

i had a similar problem and i have read about someone else a few months back that had the same problem. 260, SAAMI specs, lapua brass. some wound chamber and some were very hard t chamber. Yet the bullet did not touch the lands, the shoulder was bumped back and everything measured up to that...

i use SS media. after i remove the brass i put it in a towel and shake it to get the majority of the moisture out. then i put the brass in a colander and run a hair dryer over the brass while stirring it a bit. let it set for an hour. do it again and the brass is dry. i can dry it in one...

the 140s were great in my 260. i've been searching for more 140s for a couple of months. i havent been able to find any. as to the 130s i'd like to try those too but can find them. the issue, at least with the 140s is length, though i have tried seating them deep enough they are really long...

i used to shoot smk 175, 43.5 varget. i recently did some fine tuning, 175 smk, 43 varget, lapua brass, fgmm primers, 2.252 to ogive, rem 700 5r, timney trigger 24 inch barrel. best group at 300 meters .266 MOA, 5 shots (zero wind). this weekend i shot 500 meters, some wind, some mirage...

as someone previously had happen, i got some reloads that were very difficult to chamber. and my reloading technique is to body only resize using redding body only die, trim case mouth, clean in tumbler, neck only resize, chamfer neck, and finally seat bullet. so my lengths werent too long and...

i have one also and find it quick. i also have the sinclair trimmer with the micrometer adjustment and have gotten pretty fast with it too. the biggest issue i have with the wft is adjusting it seems sort of hit or miss. you loosen the retaining screws and slide it along the shaft. also i've...

5 shot groups is always what i use to confirm a load. 3 shot groups for OCW, at at least 200 yards. below is 5 shot group, 300M (327 yards), rem 700 5r, 308 175 smk, 43 gr varget, 10 thou off lands. .27 MOA.

me, i love technology. this is interesting but if it cant do wind its a bit too expensive. interesting that it was designed by a guy that did the tank targeting system. i had a guy tell me a day or two ago, and i dont know if its true, that that system could actually deal with wind and heat...

march 3x-24 MIL/MIL on a 25MOA mount with harris bipod. i shoot 300yds with it a good bit (steel) as i rest my centerfires. my biggest problem is finding decent ammo. 22lr is hard to find.
