7 1/2s are like hen's teeth around my home area. I have CCI 34s, 400s, 450s and the Wolf SRM223s. When I was working with RE15 I found the Wolf primers to give me more consistent velocities. Perhaps I should go revisit my loads and switch up primers. Sometimes I just get on one track and...

Bjay, it sounds like the flat block is not adjusted properly. Out of the thousands of .223 cases I did on my SS600, I don't ever remember damaging a case due to the primer pocket not being correctly aligned.

Have any of you guys tried the spring / rubberband / string gizmos? I never had much lock with them as they take a lot of fiddling around and frequent adjustment to work. that's why I started using the above method.

Swaging is the way to go. You're not removing material and the process of reaming is hard on the hands. For you guys that think the SS600 is too slow I found this is a pretty efficient way to use them. Mount it in a vice like this so you can let gravity work for you: Then put the cases...

I'm another believer in using a case gauge. One thing to make sure is that you may have your sizing die adjusted correctly, but your expander button is pulling your shoulder up. This can happen due to a lack of lube on the case mouth. Size some without the expander, check them in the...

I've noted when testing loads with a suppressor attached I'd get ejector marks sooner. This could possibly be from the over gas situation the suppressor causes. Without the suppressor, the ejector marks do not exist. With my suppressor, (Surefire 556212) there has been minimal (.5 moa)...

When I'm testing loads I have my suppressor on. I find it cuts down on off the wall readings and no start / stop error messages. With the suppressor (Surefire 556-212) the velocity is usually in the area of 50 fps faster than no suppressor attached.

I posted a thread earlier but in my effort to edit it, I must have deleted it - chalk one up for the guy that's been here a while but doesn't post. I'll try things over again. Lately I've been working with 8208XBR and 77 SMKs due to my inability to locate RE15 locally. The load that I use...

Double post - inexperienced new guy! :rolleyes:
