Re: Runout My lowest runout rounds are with match 308 brass and I can consistently keep .0005 - .001" for around 98-99% of them. If it's more than say, .003" for more than 10% of them for some reason, I'll be on a hunt to find out what is causing it. But seeing an occasional .004 or .005...

Re: Sizing for minimum headspace in M1A? Those are accurate rifles, but I think you're overestimating the potential and getting too concerned over techniques that aren't going to give you positive results. Fire the case once, get yourself some headspace gauges, and full-length size your...

Re: Ruger American ( the new 700)? lol agreed. It seems Ruger is miffed about losing market to their original audience: purveyors of affordable firearms, so they made a cheap rifle to sell alongside the Remington 7, Savage Axis/Edge, and Stevens 200 and other such cheapo rifles. The only...

Re: Help me order up a Dillion 550B I'm not a Dillon guy, so forgive me if this question is lame. The 650 isn't much more money, offers auto indexing and the ability to add the case and bullet feeder, everything else like changeover costs the same. Why not the 650? And what I do know, is...

Re: Difficulty extracting and chambering (Rem 700) I'm guessing it's time for a full-length size.

Re: 1:12 Remy 700Varmint with 175SMK's? My gun shoots the 175's very well, and they're just heavy enough to beat out the 168's at 1000. If your gun shoots them straight, go with it.

Re: New to reloading... starting with 300 wm Sounds to me like you did your homework, you kinda answered your own question. I know more about Hodgdon brand than other brands, and I'd suggest H4831 or H4831SC.

Re: Starting from scratch. I personally feel like all beginners should be steered towards the kits; none of them are particularly expensive for what you get, they come with nearly everything you'll ever need (including manuals), and they all offer enough quality to produce good results...

Re: New to reloading need a starting point for .223 1:12 is generally recommended to stay around 40-55gr pills, which means you're limited on range, but what range you have will be a near lazer-like trajectory since you can move some fast bullets. Sierra makes a 63gr bullet specifically for...

Re: Starting from scratch. Carter, thank you for your explanation. I too, am into reloading for many of the same reasons. And I tend to gravitate towards quality tools to help me achieve that end. However, a real mechanic wouldn't let a handful of Harbor Freight tools keep him from fixing...

Re: Remighton 700 Police Those 700Ps have pretty fast twist barrels, why don't you try the heavier 168-180gr bullets. That's currently what I'm testing now too, different brands all in that weight range. Here's a load I'm doing well with right now: 43gr Varget, 178gr HDY A-Max, 2.890" OAL...

Re: Priming PAIN IN THE ASS I don't mind priming compared to other activities, but the Lee does make it feel more like a chore than an accomplishment. Decent tool, and the price is certainly right, but the leverage is way less than RCBS and especially Hornady.

Re: Best Press Start with something under $100, shop around for something used or buy a little guy new. Either way, get one you don't mind learning on. Then, the more you research and read, the more rounds you reload, the more the differences between the best ones will make sense. Then you...

Re: Starting from scratch. Why do you think you need the "best" gear before you've even pulled one lever? I mean, this isn't about "buy once, cry once" but the whole mindset that you feel like you need to have what everybody on some anonymous computer message board tells you what THEY...
