I anneal because it produces very good ammo. Some disagree but thats reloading.

Use a dehydrator to dry brass. Pins should not be a problem. Use a Lite FA. Quality kit. Use large 2 tablespoon of Armourall HD car wash and similar of Citric [ from the cooking isle]. Pins should not stick in cases. 2C. 3 hours washing they come out sparkling.

223 you need about 7gr's of Trailboss.

Once you remove the heat source where is the issue. Only in the minds of crazy so called experts. 2C.

If some one covered your eyes and gave you Lapua and say PMC brass both annealed would you know the difference when you fired them without looking. Annealing is the voodoo to making a level playing field brass wise. 2C.

By annealing every time. Chamfer the inside of the neck. No shaving when seating. Like liquid honey. Always clean with SSM. Primer pocket uniform each time and flashhole uniform once. Throw away your expander as it is redundant if you size after annealing. Perfect necks. 2C. Best.

Count yourself lucky. We cannot get Barnes bullets in New Zealand.

On a related point are the Sako Quad and Tikka 17HMR bolt shrouds interchangeable?. Lost my Quad bolt shroud and they are as hard to find as hens teeth.

2205.

Magic powder BM2 and this load is hyper accurate.

44gr 2209 or 48gr 2213sc. Seat to top of cannelure. Barnes likes to jump.

That set up looks like Aladdins Cave. Bloody impressive.

This for picked up mil brass. Standard die for all brass without expander. We do a lot of 243. Same family as 308. Cant overstate value of annealing every time. Cheers.

Got Redding dies and T7 press. Save yourself some grief. Anneal your brass every time. If 223 use a SB die, take out the expander and viola you will get bug holes. Go that trick partially off the dude Froggy. Love the SB die. Magic die.

Anneal all your brass. Throw away the expander. Froggy style. Best advice heard for a long time. Chamfer inside of neck helps as well.

44gr 2209 with 62gr Barnes.Hunting load in NZ. They are a rarity now. Browning rifle.

T7 is superb. The issue might be your brass. Anneal every time. Sizing becomes like hot butter. Super smooth. Best press around.

Tikka T3 in 243 with 85gr Sierra. No recoil and very accurate. Lotsa dead deer.

There is an Australian gun writer called Nick Harvey who published reloading manuals with many calibres using lots of powders and projectiles to provide a vast source of information. His first manual in essence avoided all the leg work[ by at least us] going to 1 grain off his listed maximum for...
