    Nosler 6.5 Brass failing

    Not the first time that I have heard of a Hornady die setting shoulders back too far when following the instructions. I had one in .223 that set the case shoulder back .030 shorter than min. They all fired, and they all got a ring. Couple of my reloading friends have had the same issue at...

    Never seen this before, what am I dealing with here?

    A few years ago there were quite a few reports of WLR primers perforating like that, at the edge, like that. There were a lot of primers replaced and more than a few bolts too, IIRC. Looks like you got one of the bad batches that were still out there. A couple of things can cause ejector swipes...

    Reloading for a gasser

    You won't go wrong with them, I have been using them for every bottleneck cartridge I shoot for quite a few years now. I like them better than Redding, and I do use a lot of Redding products.

    6.5 Grendel Barrels?

    You might wander on over to the Grendel forum https://www.65grendel.com/forum/ They might have some of their group buy barrels still available. The price is very reasonable and they do shoot. The 16" mid length that I bought was shooting .6's out of the tube with Speer Gold Dots. These are...

    Brass sorting

    My shoulder bump consistency drastically improved when I started using the Redding Competition shell holder sets. I set up for a somewhat firm bump of the die with the shell holder when sizing, eliminates issues with press linkage tolerances. Trimming is trimming, done after sizing, and +/-...

    Combining mixed batch powders

    You can do it, but make sure it is Very well Mixed! then if you have to put it more than one container, be sure and mark the containers with the lot #s that you mixed. Rework/recheck your loads. When you get more powder, don't just add it to your mixed lots, wait until you use up your mixin's...

    Small Base Sizing Die Needed?

    I had a bolt like that, I wound up buying "extra power" extractor springs from Brownell's and removing all the rubber and the stock spring from underneath the extractor. I also "de-fanged" and polished the leading surface of the extractor. The little Grendel has run like a top ever since.

    Gunsmithing Scratching my head... WHAT THE ... ???

    Yeah, it's not like it looks like all of the other barrels for sale. The guy is a dick selling a piece of crap and he knows it. I hope his bud shoves it up his a$$ when he can't get his money back.
