    Order of operations...and this isnt math class

    I was wondering what the best order is to process brass that includes neck turning. I have once fired lapua brass. My question is should I decap, stainless tumble, size, trim, neck turn then use a vibratory tumbler? That is the best order I can think of but I really have no experience with...

    Critique my neck turning

    I made my first attempt at neck turning today using the attachment for my Forster trimmer. I ruined two cases before getting the hang of it. The brass measured between .016-.014 so I trimmed to .014. This was all crap Remington brass that I figured was good for practice.

    excessive runout...unsure where its coming from

    I have been doing load development with the 185 Berger long range bt and I'm getting excessive run out. I'm using virgin lapua brass and a forester seater. I have loaded 155 scenars with the same setup and have a few stray bad ones. Not the case today, almost every round was between .004-.005"...

    Weight of Scenars off?

    I have a box of 155 scenars I got from Midway a few months back. After doing some development, I was playing around with the bullets on the scales. I get anywhere from 154-154.4 grains. thinking this was odd I double checked it with another set of scales, and put some bergers on the scales which...

    Cleanest meplat?

    Im interested in what brand of bullets has the cleanest meplats in your opinion. I have only ran 155 Scenars through my Kimber so far, and while they shoot excellent I have to say i definitely wasnt impressed with the finish of the bullets.The meplats are very irregular, in size and shape. I...

    Vintage LC match

    I found these buried in my grandpas ammo and thought they were pretty neat. Never opened, not sure if they are valuable but they are to me. I posted them on ar15 a while back and basically got stupid responses including a guy who says he had thousands and shoots them all the time. Anyway...

    155 Scenar Velocity Question?

    Ok i started to develop a load for my Kimber AT using Lapua brass, WLR primers and varget. I shot the first three at 44.5gr and it was in the .2" range so i decided to just stop there. Yesterday i decided to break out the chronograph and see what kind of speeds i am getting. I averaged 2670 with...

    155-185 gr Bullet Comparison

    Im sure someone has done this many times over but in my efforts to choose bullets for my .308 i decided to make an excel sheet to make it easier for myself. When possible i used BC obtained by Brian Litz, otherwise factory numbers were used. I didnt want to bother searching for the lowest prices...

    Suppressors AAC Cyclone?

    I just got my new Kimber 8400 AT all set up and shooting excellent. I have thrown around the idea of getting a suppressor for years just never have really followed through. I was already looking into the cyclone, then silencer shop put them on sale for only $625. I feel like this is a pretty...

    155 scenar with tac??

    I was wondering if anyone has had luck with tac with the lighter 308 rounds. I would prefer to use varget or something else but given the current market and my large supply of tac I figured I might give it a try if others have had success.

    Which concentricity gauge?

    If you had your choice which one would you get. I have looked at most of the models and while the hornady seems really popular right now i dont like that you can only check loaded rounds. I already have a Forster trimmer so i would have the pilots for one of them. The sinclair one looks really...

    New to Me Kimber 8400 AT

    I figured I would start a build thread for my new Kimber. I did quite a bit of research on them before i purchased it, and seemed to get alot of mixed reviews. I decided to take the risk so hopefully its a shooter. Anytime i read a story of one not shooting the bedding was usually the culprit. I...

    Forster Die Set

    Has anybody used the Forster Bushing bump die? I found a set that has the bench rest seater, FL sizer and the bushing die. I personally havent ever used a bushing die, but they seem to be the go to for accuracy. The set is a much better deal than redding too.
