My old one was doing the same thing. That was a sign that it was on its last life. Shortly thereafter it died and I bought a new one.

LOL! Good point.

So my RCBS Chargemaster finally pooped out on me. I've had it for several years and have loaded some accurate Ammo using it. It started making all kinds of weird noises, Wild speed fluctuations, and started throwing lots of undercharges. At the end it would not throw the entered charge. So I...

I think it would be overkill to go that far for varmint loads. If you were entering some sort of competition, then there might be some merit to it.

I say wait for the Lapua. Work up the load you want with the components you're going to use.

I'm glad I stocked up before the shortage.

Don't waste your time uniforming the primer pockets. It's a waste of time. And you can skip the SS tumbling and just tumble them in some corn cob with polish. Works just fine and no drying required. Getting the primer pockets spotless isn't going to net you any benefit other than cosmetic. Which...

Just curious as to whether anyone knows the load for the Hornady Precision Hunter 30-06? My bolt gun absolutely loves that ammo and I'd love to replicate it. Primer and powder are a mystery to me.

I'm stationed in VA but hunted GA last year without any luck. My buddy has a lease in Sandersville. This year is totally different. We're seeing a lot of deer. I had this guy come out last night and give me a quartering towards shot in between the bushes and trees. He's definitely mature...

Same here. I've reloaded thousands of cases fired in Glocks and have never had an issue.

What kind of brass? Those charges out to tell you what it likes. However, I would start at the minimum and work up to max in .5 increments. You're rifle may like the low node. Then you can fine tune in .2 increments to hone in on "The Load."

I've been able to find everything I need. But I'm not lazy.

Ok. Apparently it wasn't obvious enough. My brass measured 1.934" base-shoulder before I sized it. I set the die to where it does not bump the shoulder. Therefore, the base-shoulder measurement is 1.934".

Xtreme all the way! They make great .224 bullets too.

I don't crimp either. No need to if your neck tension is right.

I've found that the consistency of the bullets is better with Hornady's match stuff versus Sierra's.

Which post size measurements do you mean? I said I set the die to where it's not bumping the shoulder so the measurement from shoulder to base is the same as it was before. Help me out here, I don't wanna be a slob. Oh, and I do write down all my measurements.

It's a custom built Rem 700.

So I did some measuring... Virgin Lapua measures 1.928" from the shoulder to the base, measured with a bump gauge and a caliper. My fired brass measures 1.934". So it had to grow 0.006" from its first use. I think I can rule out excessive headspace. I measured the case where the others...

Yeah, I got a little work to do this weekend to figure out the issue. I'll report back with my findings.
