    Dented cases - how much is acceptable?

    How much denting in the case should be allowed before tossing in the trash? I understand that dents in the main part of the case will usually flatten back out upon next firing, and the die straightens out the case neck sufficiently.

    Gunsmithing stuck cases

    Just bought an AR-15 from a guy who put it together himself...I know, I know...probably not smart, but I did it. I chamber a round, fire, the bolt opens and tears the rim on the case but the case won't come out. Removed case, cleaned chamber and tried it again. Same result. Any ideas? I...

    Water Capacity, various .308 cases

    I searched. Too many hits that don't have all three search terms. Anyway, my FA63 match holds 55-56 grains of H2O, depending on how high I run the meniscus. Or was that the difference between sized and fired? So many facts, so few remaining brain cells. IIRC, Lapua holds 56 or whatever. Just...

    What do you guys like for cases?

    O.K., getting my FN/SPR slowly together. Just ordered my rings, bolt handle is back from G.A., suppressor should be clearing soon. Now it's time for a case. I was going to go with something like a Pelican or Storm, but what about the soft cases? Say like something from Eagle that will also...

    Cases too short? 22-250

    Can a case be too short? I was trimming necks on a bunch of brass I inherited. I was following the guidelines for a trim to length of 1.902". I found a couple cases that were as short as 1.895". All appeared at least 1x fired. I don't have an unfired piece of new brass to compare to so I dont...

    Anybody use a Drill Press to trim cases?

    I'm on the list to get a Giraud but it is looking like up to 6 weeks for shipment. I was wondering if you could get good results using a quality drill press...does anybody use a press with the Forster Power Case Trimmer? Do you get good results? Thanks!

    lapua 308 cases all dinged up out of the box !!

    Well, I started prepping my new brass today. My last batch of lapua did not have a single bad case in the lot. I open the first box today, and I had 10 out of 100 cases that had their necks smashed flat. I was surprised, I'm used to this with remington cases, but not lapua. I hope my other...

    Weighing Cases

    Does weighing cases help any? How about checking the volume of the cases? Tring to get max accuracy for an upcoming match, looking for any advantage, but if this doesn't improve things much I don't want to waste my time. Please only respond if you have done this and know first hand.

    deforming .45 ACP cases w/550b

    This is my first attempt at pistol reloading so I have no doubt it's something stupid. I am reloading .45 ACP on a Dillon 550 using RCBS dies that a buddy let me borrow because I couldn't find any dies. I resize the case, and it fit the cyclinder of my S&W 625. I then move them to...

    Using 6x47 Swiss Match cases for 6x47 Lapua

    Just want to know if there is any potential problems with doing this...? A buddy and I shot some 6x47 Swiss Match through my 6x47L yesterday, and got a 1 inch drop in POI at 600yds vs the Lapua brass we were shooting... Don't even know load info, velocities or anything at this time... just...
